Even though the healthcare industry has been slower to adopt Internet of Things technologies than other industries, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is poised to transform how we keep people safe and healthy especially as the demand for solutions to lower healthcare costs increase in the coming years, according to an article on the Forbes website.
The IoMT is the connected system of devices and apps that gathers and distributes data to IT systems.
The IoMT can help monitor patients,alert caregivers and give healthcare providers data needed to identify issues before they become critical.
An Allied Market Research report predicted that the IoT healthcare market will reach $136.8 billion worldwide by 2021, the article said.
