IoT Healthcare Devices in Healthcare Industry

 


We are thick in the age of the internet. Devices as tiny as the size of a coin can be internet-enabled. In fact, so common are internet-enabled devices that by the year 2030, there will be an estimated 50 billion connected devices around the world. This network of internet-compatible devices is known as the Internet of Things (IoT) and comprises everything from consumer electronics to automobiles and even traffic lights. A growing number of devices are aimed at a certain sector with the capacity to truly revolutionize the world: healthcare. Thanks to this connected ecosystem, also known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), doctors are able to track patient metrics and administer care, all in real-time.

  • According to Fortune Business Insights, the IoMT market is estimated to hit USD 142.45 billion by 2026. This growth is driven by an increase in chronic diseases and better healthcare infrastructure worldwide.

The IoMT and Connected Care Ecosystem


Internet-enabled healthcare devices allow doctors to conduct remote patient monitoring (RPM). These devices comprise wearable technology and other tracking equipment that read a patient’s vital signs in real-time and relay them to healthcare providers who then make diagnoses and prescribe treatment. This IoT and connected care ecosystem comprises several players: the RPM vendor that offers healthcare services and manages the healthcare devices and the RPM platform; the network provider that provides the connectivity required for the ecosystem to function; the hardware provider that delivers equipment to the patient’s home; and the care provider – doctors and primary care physicians – who monitor and treats patients. At the center of this intricate web of healthcare services is IoT, without which data generation and analysis would not be possible.

IoMT-based platforms can empower patients to become self-aware of their health. Oftentimes, patients can even minimize the intervention of healthcare professionals. These platforms also empower physicians by simplifying the healthcare process and supporting clinical decisions.
