1 INTRODUCTION
Significant advancement in the Internet of Things (IoT) has generated a large number of opportunities for innovation in the field of healthcare. Due to the exponential growth of wearable devices and mobile applications, a promising trend in healthcare appears that the IoT enabled technology is transferring the traditional hubs of healthcare to the personalised healthcare systems. Successful utilization of IoT enabled technology in healthcare facilitates efficient diagnose and treatment, low costs, improvement of doctor-patient relationships, personalized treatment and enhanced sustainability. In addition, the big data created by IoT are fast expanded with valuable and crucial information for personalised healthcare and decision making. These data contain not only a sheer volume of long-term health information, but also complex, diverse and rich context of the health information. Effectively and efficiently managing, analysing, visualising and exploring these big data becomes necessary and brings knowledge and intelligence of self-empowerment to the IoT users for supporting wiser clinical decision-making and personalised policy formulation. However, empowering the utility of IoT enabled technology and promoting big-data as a source of innovation in healthcare systems is still challenging due to the lack of standardization of IoT system architectures, heterogeneity of wearable devices connected, multi-dimensionality and high volume of data set, and high demand for interoperability. IoTBDH-2024 will be held on December 3-6 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal, under 2024 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM’24). The goal of IoTBDH workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry into a forum, to present the state-of-the-art research and applications in utilizing IoT and big data technology for healthcare by presenting efficient scientific and engineering solutions, addressing the needs and challenges for integration with new technologies, and providing visions for future research and development.
