Abstract:
This position paper gives better insight about the role and importance of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) for independent living and re-learning to older adults. Technology using sensors are the paradigm shift for transforming conventional healthcare practices into the smart, self-assisted healthcare practices envisioned for today’s medical world. IoT and IoMT are the inter-related technologies for promoting independent living and re-learning practices. In this paper relearning is defined as the process for adults to recover useful instrumental activities of daily living skills that have been lost after an impairment.
