Abstract: This paper reviews the latest studies of assistive devices and rehabilitation robotics applied in healthcare using Internet of Things (IoT) as a base technology. The utilization of IoT in assistive devices and robots empowers elderly people and individuals with disabilities through advanced assistive technology solutions, highlighting its potential benefits and applications. The review explores the intersection of IoT sensors, assistive devices and rehabilitation robots showcasing the transformative potential of IoT in enhancing accessibility, independence, and quality of life for people with diverse abilities. Various types of smart sensors are discussed and illustrated by IoT applications in healthcare. By comparing different types of IoT sensors, we conclude the data they can measure, algorithms, principle, and applications. The other contribution of this review is to present summary research of assistive devices and rehabilitation robotics with IoT sensors. Additionally, improving the quality of life for the elderly and people with disabilities requires enhanced support through IoT technologies. Key areas that need further improvement include security, reliability, and data privacy. In the future, this work will serve as the basis for further research work in the related area. Further advancements are necessary to improve assistive devices and robotics through IoT applications.
