The most important decisions of the network include the allocation of specialist doctors to patients, the routing of vehicles, and doctors to provide health services. The dataset of the problem has been provided to the hospital and centers using IoT tools and an integration framework has been designed for this problem. The results of solving the numerical examples show that to reduce the service delivery time and the distance traveled by vehicles, the design costs of the model should be increased.
