Abstract: 
This paper presents a systematic review of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare, exploring its use cases, benefits, and challenges. Through an analysis of diverse sources, including journal articles, conference proceedings, and white papers, we identify critical applications of IoT in patient monitoring, medical supply chain management, clinical operations, and telehealth services. Our findings highlight the transformative impact of IoT on healthcare, offering improved patient care through personalized treatments and early detection, enhanced operational efficiency, and facilitated evidence-based decision-making. Despite the promising benefits, challenges such as privacy, security, and interoperability persist, necessitating further research and technological advancements. This review underscores the potential of IoT to revolutionize healthcare delivery, making it more efficient, accessible, and patient-centered.
