The Internet of Things (IoT) integrated with various healthcare applications and medical fields such as remote care system for patients, warning systems for emergencies, fitness programs, chronic diseases and also elderly care such as heart rate checking system, blood pressure measurement system, health check systems, artificial heart rate provider and hearing aids. Furthermore, IoT adopted applications monitor the treatment or drugs quantity process. Additionally, many applications are produced based on IoT adoption in healthcare systems that are used by doctors to monitor their patients after discharging from hospital. The aim of this study is to give priority to the adequate healthcare field. The study distinguishes different users of IoT in healthcare systems as well as its functions and preferences. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) along with the development analysis of Chang, Da-Yong has been used to prioritize the IoT adoption in healthcare applications.
