The IoT is poised to transform the healthcare industry, giving rise to its own name: the IoMT. These IoMT devices can be used to help monitor patients, inform caregivers in the event of an emergency, and provide healthcare professionals with data that could inform diagnosis and ensure patients follow doctors’ orders. For example, IoMT devices can track vitals and heart performance, monitor glucose and other body systems, and track activity and sleep levels. Think about the impact of this for a second – instead of doctors relying on what the patient tells them, the IoMT gives healthcare providers an incredible insight into what’s really going on with the patient’s health and lifestyle. As you can probably imagine, the IoMT is closely linked to the rise of wearable technology (see also Trend 3).
