  The Internet of Things (IoT) is going to have its presence in all the
essential sectors of human lives. It has the ability to provide both mainstream
as well as the value added services in almost all the sectors. Healthcare is an
important service sector for overall development. It has far reaching
implications in the quality of living. In the modern world where the quality of
living has been degraded significantly IoT can certainly play a constructive
role in providing better services. In healthcare, there are several occasions
such as patient health monitoring, remote observation and emergency proceedings
outside the hospital where sensors can play essential roles. The coordinated
sensor networks can provide even better services. IoT has the ability to
provide all these coordinated services. Narrowband IoT (NBIoT) is an economical
and simpler version of IoT which can handle these tasks effectively. Due to the
widespread requirement of healthcare, NBIoT is a preferred solution as it needs
fewer amounts of resources. In this article, we provide the main issues and
difficulties of NBIoT in healthcare.
