How IoT is Transforming Remote Patient Monitoring
The IoT is revolutionizing remote patient monitoring by enabling real-time data collection, analysis and intervention. With IoT-enabled devices, healthcare providers now can continuously monitor patients from anywhere, which reduces the need for frequent in-person visits that still only capture one moment in time.This capability is particularly important for managing chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, where ongoing tracking is crucial for timely intervention. By having access to real-time data, doctors can make more informed decisions, intervene earlier and prevent complications, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.In addition to making treatment more convenient, IoT also can empower more personalized care.Devices that track vital signs such as blood pressure, oxygen levels and heart rate can provide patient-specific data in real time and over longer periods.

Today, IoT devices collect vast amounts of health data, which is often transmitted across various networks before reaching healthcare providers. But this capability also introduces a potential attack surface for cybercriminals, who try to exploit vulnerabilities in these devices or their networks.To help mitigate these risks, cellular IoT providers must enable end-to-end data encryption, robust authentication protocols, and adherence to strict data privacy regulations – for example, HIPAA in the U.S. and GDPR in Europe. Healthcare organizations also must establish protocols for regular security audits and firmware updates to protect against evolving cyber threats.
