Users of the healthcare Internet of Things are suffering from data overload, and many are unsure how to best engage in IoT big data analytics, according to an article on the Healthcare IT Analytics website.

Uncertain prospects for financial return on analytics, coupled with worries over data security are also contributing to a reluctance to grow the IoT.
