Early diagnosis and timely management of diseases through technological interventions prevents long-term complications and mortalities. The critical diseases like heart disease and stroke are leading cause of various forms of disability and death across the world. The burden of disease is extremely high in both developed and developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs). One of the main difference lies is with technology embedded systems and usage of Internet of Things (IoT) in entire medical treatment plans and even used later for monitoring of patients. This incredible change in the medical industry has been established with application of technology and specifically IoT in healthcare. IoT is defined as “Sensors and actuators embedded in physical objects are linked through the wired and wireless networks” [1]. Infrastructure facilities, optimal resource utilization, quality of service delivery, regular monitoring, timeliness of reporting, and resource mobilization have strengthened healthcare systems. It is more interactive and quick responsive system which is necessary for medical services.
