How IoT is changing the Face of Healthcare?

Real-world applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) revolutions are still in their nascent stages but are coming to the healthcare and public safety sectors in more ways than one. Healthcare is one industry where IOT has the potential for great value and impact. Integrating IoT features into medical devices has the potential to greatly improve the quality and effectiveness of a service, bringing greater value to patients who may need constant monitoring and preventive interventions (such as for the older or patients with chronic conditions).

The IoT has long shown promise for improving public safety and health thanks to its ability to improve the efficiency and accuracy of current processes. Advances made in relevant IoT applications, such as GPS-mapping technology, wearable tech, and smart objects, but new opportunities and applications arise even faster than weโ€™re able to integrate them into our systems.

Healthcare providers are responding to this shift by leveraging technology to phase out paper processes, increasing patient access to health records, and utilizing tools that help the patient send and receive information to and from their doctor(s). Right now, IoT has created a far more connected healthcare environment where patients can feel like they are getting the attention, information, and service they require in todayโ€™s age. Key trends that are pushing IoT adoption include:

  • Remote Health Monitoring Devices & Mobile Apps โ€“ These devices feed patient records with real-time data, perform analysis and send coaching notifications to both providers and patients.
  • Wearable Devices โ€“ These include that provide instant feedback on patientโ€™s day to day activities such as steps, calories burned, heart rate, etc. and can help preempt and perhaps prevent medical emergencies.
  • Patient-Centric Care โ€“ Devices that allow providing care tailored to individual patient preferences or needs.

The explosion of connected things is shifting intelligence to the Edge, making it possible to act in real-time, locally, in the moment and context, creating new opportunities in every industry especially healthcare. Increasingly, enterprises require insights that can be acted on anywhere, instantly, to create rich, contextual and personalized experiences.
