Internet of things based patient-centered care model for elderly healthcare

Providing quality healthcare services to the rising elderly population is a significant challenge, as they often have multiple diseases (multimorbidity) and require proper treatment. Current healthcare systems lack effective care coordination for patients with multimorbidity, and result in increased...
