How the Internet of Medical Things Is Impacting Healthcare

The rise in the number of connected medical devices comes at a critical time as barriers to access health services continue to increase. Consider your most recent healthcare interaction. It likely involved some sort of medical device or equipment - a blood pressure monitor, a continuous glucose monitor, maybe even an MRI scanner. This should come as no surprise: More than 500,000 medical technologies are currently available, according to a recent Deloitte report.

Today’s internet-connected devices are being designed to improve efficiencies, lower care costs and drive better outcomes in healthcare. As computing power and wireless capabilities improve, organizations are leveraging the potential of Internet of Medical Things technologies.
