Abstract	In the modern landscape of information and communication technologies, the current healthcare industry confronts significant challenges. These include a shortage of experienced medical professionals, disparities in access to healthcare services that persist across different regions around the globe, and an increased need for detailed, real-time monitoring of patients in both urban and remote regions. This paper delves into the potential of the Internet of Audio Things for Healthcare (IoAuT4H), which lies at the intersection of Internet of Audio Things and the Internet of Medical Things, as a solution to these pressing issues. By seamlessly merging cutting-edge audio technology, networking, and the advanced deep learning techniques, the IoAuT4H emerges as a promising solution. It has the potential to reshape hospital and clinical infrastructure, streamline early medical interventions, and facilitate rapid emergency responses. Additionally, this study underscores the pivotal role of the IoAuT4H in strengthening overall health practices, refining care methods for the elderly, and rejuvenating paediatric health approaches. While the benefits of the IoAuT4H are numerous, this paper also critically examines the challenges in its widespread adoption. These include ethical considerations, ensuring the accuracy of audio data, and integrating it effectively with existing healthcare systems. In conclusion, this paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the IoAuT4H, positioning it as a bridge between current healthcare challenges and technological advancements.
