Cyber-physical system denotes the framework, which combines computational and communication capabilities with physical processes. It can make our interactions with others smarter. Because robust sensing capacity is among the main motivating elements for Cyber-physical systems (CPS)implementations, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) could be an integral part of CPS. There are many problems that need to be fixed before CPS can be considered more than an emerging technology. To date, only a handful of CPS applications have been proposed for use in healthcare settings, and these applications lack the adaptability that would come from integrating technologies like computational services with sensor nodes. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the various healthcare CPS implementations that have been recommended thus far in both the academic and commercial sectors. In addition, a thorough classification is provided, detailing the various parts and procedures needed to implement CPS in healthcare environment. The classification not only draws attention to the overlaps and distinctions between WSN and Cloud Computing as applied to CPS for healthcare, but it also pinpoints the research gaps that exist between these two fields.
