5 Reasons IoMT Devices Make Sense for Healthcare Organizations

A connected infrastructure of medical devices, software applications and health systems and services, the Internet of Medical Things is changing the ways providers deliver care — and also how patients can take control of their health from home.

The benefits are many: Implantable devices and wearables can collect and send critical data to help doctors adjust treatment. Stationary machines such CT scanners wirelessly transmit images to enable better clinical collaboration. Scores of sensors and mobile tools keep close tabs on critical inventory.

Deloitte estimates the IoMT market will be valued at more than $150 billion by 2022. And the devices are poised to save $300 billion annually in healthcare costs, according to Goldman Sachs, primarily due to improved outcomes.
