Abstract
The chapter explores cyber-physical systems (CPS) as a pioneering force in healthcare, amalgamating computational algorithms, communication technologies, and physical interactions to revolutionize traditional medical approaches. It addresses entrenched issues such as fragmented medical data and outdated communication methods. By harnessing wireless sensor networks, cloud computing infrastructure, and medical sensor technologies, CPS offers tailored solutions to healthcare challenges. Predictive analytics fueled by CPS-generated data empower healthcare professionals with informed decision-making capabilities. However, safeguarding patient data through robust encryption and stringent access controls remains paramount. Tangible examples illustrate CPS's impact across domains, from monitoring medication adherence to ensuring patient safety. Future research endeavors seek to enhance connectivity, fortify cybersecurity protocols, and expand CPS applications in drug development.
