Implementation of Novel Fighter System Using LoRa – A Review
Keywords:
Cellular networks, Internet of medical things (IoMT), LoRa technology (Long range), Military health monitoring, Remote health monitoringAbstract
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is transforming healthcare by enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of patients through interconnected medical devices. In remote or challenging environments, such as military operations, disaster recovery zones, or rural areas, communication technologies are limited, like Bluetooth, cellular networks, and Wi-Fi. Short communication range, high energy consumption, and a dependence on existing infrastructure make reliable health monitoring in these environments very difficult. Long Range (LoRa) technology offers a promising alternative due to its ability to transmit data over long distances with minimal power consumption and with less dependence on local infrastructure. This review explores LoRa by enhancing IoMT systems, particularly in military and remote healthcare scenarios, by enabling the secure and efficient transfer of vital health data from wearable devices to healthcare providers. By addressing the unique challenges of these environments, LoRa could significantly improve patient monitoring and create awareness for finding critical solutions. Civilian applications, including elderly care and emergency response, further improve healthcare accessibility in underserved or hard-to-reach areas. Through this review, we discuss the feasibility, challenges, and future opportunities for integrating LoRa into IoMT systems to enhance healthcare delivery in remote and resource-limited regions.
