Internet of Things (IoT) is improving human life in a more convenient and simpler way. One the most promising IoT applications healthcare. In this paper, an availability model healthcare system proposed which composed two groups structures described by separate Markov state-space models. The models are analyzed combined to implement whole modeling. balance equations solved under given scenario some performance metrics interest, such as probabilities full service, degraded unavailability, derived. Detailed numerical evaluation selected provided for further understanding verification analytic results. An (API) method also increasing probability service decreasing unavailability. modeling can serve useful reference general design evaluation.
