Healthcare systems are designed to provide commendable services to cater health needs of individuals with minimum expenditure and limited use of human resources. Pervasive health care can be considered as a major development in the healthcare system which aims to treat patients with minimal human resources. This provides a solution to several existing healthcare problems which might change the future of the healthcare systems in a positive way. Pervasive health care is defined as a system which is available to anyone at any point of time and at any place without any location constraints. At a broader definition, it helps in monitoring the health-related issues at a home-based environment by medical stakeholders which is very beneficial in case of emergency situations. This chapter elaborates architecture of IoT, how wearable sensors can be used to help people to get personalized and pervasive healthcare systems, and it also gives a detailed working of different types of IoT-enabled wearable devices for pervasive health care. 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
