  This paper attempts to outline how the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT)
in healthcare can create real economic value and improve the patient
experience. Thus, getting the maximum benefits requires understanding both the
IoT paradigm and the enabling technologies, and how IoT can be applied in the
field of healthcare. We will mention some open challenging issues to be
addressed by the research community, and not only. Besides the real barriers in
adopting the Internet of Things, there are some advantages regard collecting
and processing patient data, and monitoring the daily health states of
individuals, just to name a few. These aspects could revolutionize the
healthcare industry.
