Title | Smart technologies: the use of the Internet of Things for children’s health and well-being |
Authors | Mistry, K. and Dafoulas, G. |
Abstract | The use of Internet of Things (IoT) wearable sensors in healthcare, particularly for monitoring children’s mobility, is on the rise. Applications range from addressing obesity and mobility constraints to ensuring safety in densely populated areas. However, adopting these technologies raises concerns, including device safety, potential skin risks, data privacy, and the impact on family routines. Issues such as familiarity with digital technologies and the implications of tracking vital signs and location data are central to adoption challenges. This paper provides an up-to-date analysis of emerging concerns and innovations in child health monitoring using IoT technologies. By examining safety, privacy, and usability considerations, it aims to enhance understanding of practical challenges and propose solutions for adopting wearable health technologies to support children’s well-being |
