Today, hospitals and healthcare organizations worldwide are increasingly adopting internet-enabled medical equipment and devices to help improve patient care.
These technologies, coined the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), offer doctors significant benefits by diagnosing ailments faster, alerting care teams when patients fall or hurt themselves and introducing cost savings for hospitals and patients.
Today, the introduction of IoMT has opened doors in wearable technology, such as wound dressing, which delivers painkillers to patients as and when required. It has also helped develop ingestible sensors to track patients taking their medication according to doctor’s orders and glucose-monitoring contact lenses, which can monitor a diabetic patient’s blood sugar levels through their eyes.
