Abstract

This chapter delves into the intersection of smart technologies and healthcare in the context of smart cities. It begins by defining smart technologies and their applications in healthcare, such as smart watches and glasses, and extends this to the broader concept of smart cities. The text explores the challenges faced by smart cities, including environmental pollution and healthcare, and how smart technologies can address these issues. It discusses specific applications like IoT-based sensor networks for healthcare and ambulance smart navigation systems. The chapter also covers the importance of smart technologies in disease detection, health monitoring, and healthcare resource management within smart cities. Additionally, it introduces the concept of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and its applications in healthcare, such as ubiquitous clinic recommendation systems. The text concludes by emphasizing the potential of smart technologies to enhance healthcare services and improve the quality of life in smart cities.
