Overview of this book

The Arduino IoT Cloud offers a variety of features for building modern IoT solutions while reducing time and costs for prototyping and deployment. This book is a step-by-step guide, helping you master the powerful Arduino IoT Cloud ecosystem. This book begins by introducing you to the IoT landscape including its architecture, communication technologies, and protocols and then to the capabilities of the Arduino IoT Cloud platform and the Cloud Editor. With practical projects, such as monitoring air quality, building a portable asset tracker, and creating a remote alarm system using the LoRaWAN specification, you'll learn how to implement real-world IoT applications. Next, you'll explore communication between IoT devices and cloud platforms as well as the implementation of the Arduino IoT Cloud SDK and JavaScript for advanced customization. You'll also find out how to program IoT nodes, analyze the surrounding environment data, and visualize it on dashboards. Additionally, you’ll get to grips with advanced features such as task scheduling, synchronization, remote over-the-air updates for IoT nodes, and scripting with CCLI, through hands-on examples. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to work with the Arduino IoT Cloud platform and related hardware devices and will be able to develop industry-specific and cost-effective IoT solutions, such as smart homes and smart agriculture.

Exploring IoT for smart health solutions

The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a significant role in providing smart healthcare solutions that can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. IoT devices can collect real-time data, communicate with other devices, and generate insights that can help healthcare providers make better decisions.

Here are some examples of how IoT can be used in smart health solutions:

  • Remote patient monitoring: IoT devices can be used to monitor patients’ health in real time, even when they are not in the hospital. Wearable devices, sensors, and medical-grade IoT devices can collect data on vital signs, BPM rates, blood-glucose levels, and medication adherence. Healthcare providers can use this data to provide personalized care and prevent complications.
  • Telemedicine: IoT devices can enable virtual consultations and remote medical services. Patients can communicate with their healthcare providers using video conferencing...
