How Do We Unlock Healthcare IoT Innovation? – RTInsights
IoT will have an immense impact in the world of healthcare. What are some of the best use cases today of this technology to help patients and doctors?
The intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Healthcare may represent the best example of how technology – when deployed properly – can a make a revolutionary impact on the human experience. Telemedicine devices vastly improve the speed and effectiveness of care to patients with mobility challenges, the elderly, and those in remote locations.
IoT telemedicine solutions can be delivered across a number of different devices, each with their own benefits, challenges, and solutions. For example, self-administered drug delivery options paired with smartphone apps can quickly and accurately transmit patient data to physicians and give patients real-time information on their conditions. The use of tablets, Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS), and remote kiosks are increasingly popular for helping to facilitate effective, connected patient care.
