Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into healthcare has heralded a transformative era in medical treatment and patient management. Smart drug delivery systems, as an emerging subset of this transformation, aim to enhance the precision, efficiency, and personalization of pharmacotherapy. This manuscript investigates the development of smart drug delivery systems using IoT technology, detailing the evolution of these systems up to 2018, and presenting a comprehensive statistical analysis to underscore the potential benefits and challenges. The study outlines a novel methodology for the integration of IoT devices into drug delivery mechanisms, demonstrating improved monitoring, real-time adjustments, and data-driven decision-making. The results suggest that such systems not only elevate patient outcomes by minimizing side effects and optimizing dosing but also pave the way for more adaptive and responsive healthcare environments. The paper concludes with discussions on future prospects, the scope of the technology, and inherent limitations.
