Abstract :
Internet technology provides various services via network. With the diversification of terminals and development of internet technology, internet technology has come into the stage of Next Generation Network(NGN) technology. Comparing with the current Internet technology that provides services in the imaginary space, the technology on Internet of Things (IOT) is based on real word. It links things together via sensors and wireless communication technology to collect a variety of information on the condition of people and their surrounding space in the real world. The combination of Internet technology and Technology on IOT integrates physical world and imaginary space on a shared platform to eliminate the constraints of imaginary space and provide intricate, diverse, and advanced services focusing on people, which have not been achieved [1]. The future direction for the integration of Internet technology and technology on IOT, the technology of body sensor network and information services are suggested. This paper analyze the possibility and related issues of providing advanced services for human health management in the real world and research direction of medical technology on IOT.
