The healthcare vertical is a particularly lucrative market for IoT solution providers.

IoT in Healthcare: Benefits and Examples

These ten developments in IoT are worth paying attention to.

The Future of Healthcare

The healthcare vertical is one of the major markets to be most impacted by the Internet of Things.

Medical IoT solutions are primarily aimed at integrating connected medical devices and analyzing data that extend the services provided by healthcare organizations.

Research firm Markets and Markets predicts the global healthcare IoT market will grow from 72.5 billion in 2020 to USD 188.2 billion by 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.1 percent.

Solution providers like Redwerk, in turn, play an essential role in implementing healthcare software development with IoT solutions in the healthcare vertical because of their knowledge of the challenges organizations face and the regulatory requirements that need to be met.

For them, here are ten examples of how IoT is changing this market.

AdhereTech

AdhereTech aims to solve a common problem in healthcare: patients often find it difficult to set up their own medication controls, and entering the required information is difficult for many.

This New York-based company makes smart pill pills with wireless communication and a rechargeable battery for five years.

They automatically send real-time information about medication adherence. If patients miss an appointment, they will receive a personal notification – an automatic phone call or text message.

The smart tablets are produced to comply with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in the United States), FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration), and CE certification, and the company points out.

Stanley Healthcare

Stanley Healthcare offers several IoT solutions in the healthcare market; one of them provides patient flow and staff movement tracking in hospitals.

The company’s AeroScout Real-Time Location System platform allows you to see the current status and location of patients, staff, and moving equipment within the hospital, allowing you to easily manage complex workflows and staff-patient interactions.

The company recently partnered with InterSystems to integrate its platform with electronic medical records and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP); this will further streamline workflows and reduce the potential for error through automation.

Qualcomm Life

Qualcomm Life, a subsidiary of the processor manufacturer, is developing IoT solutions for people with chronic illnesses to provide appropriate care and necessary intervention.

The company partnered with medical firm Davita Healthcare Partners and health monitoring solutions provider P2 Link to implement its 2net Device Connectivity platform as part of a coordinated care program for heart failure patients – now they not only have a wirelessly connected blood pressure monitor and scale at home but also a tablet to collect and transmit biometric information to the cloud.

In 2015, Qualcomm Life also bought Capsule Tech, a company that helps healthcare institutions collect and process data from medical devices.

GE Healthcare

GE Healthcare’s Hospital Operations Management platform uses IoT services to help hospitals operate more efficiently. These services include real-time patient flow tracking to reduce wait times, as well as analytics-based staff redeployment based on acute situations.

The company says its Asset Management service can help hospitals achieve 8 percent additional ongoing savings and cost elimination by optimizing utilization of underutilized resources and eliminating obsolete and excess inventory.

Cisco Systems

Cisco Systems is building on its IoT technology and data virtualization and high-performance infrastructure to offer IoT solutions for the life sciences industry.

At the core of these services is its Medical-Grade Network platform, which provides the interactivity of biomedical devices so hospitals and pharmaceutical firms can streamline their operations by simplifying network administration and support processes and receive detailed, proactive information to proactively address potential problems.

Cisco technology helps hospitals track staff by collecting data from collaboration services and communication processes and analyzing that data.

Proteus Digital Health

Proteus Digital Health says its Discover system is the world’s first digital medicine service. It monitors when patients take their medications using sensors that are on the medication itself.

The patient activates the Discover system when he swallows the drug along with the sensor.

Once in the stomach, the sensor sends a signal to a receiver attached to the chest patch, which in turn sends digital data to a mobile device and then to the Proteus cloud, where nursing staff or caregivers can view it.

With Discover, the physician can continuously monitor patients’ health status and the results of their treatment.

PhysIQ

PhysIQ is a personalized health data analytics platform; it allows nursing staff to monitor patient conditions and know when there is a need for medical intervention.

A special belt is placed on the patient’s chest, which transmits data to a smartphone, and through a specialized psychoanalytic platform allows monitoring the slightest changes in vital parameters – blood pressure and heart rhythm.

Thanks to this, the doctor can continuously monitor the condition of patients with chronic diseases. Regular consumers can also use this system to monitor their health.

Microsoft

Azure IoT cloud services help improve patient monitoring, simplify data access and reduce costs for healthcare providers. The platform includes advanced analytics and connected device management features.

Specifically, Microsoft partnered with Great River Medical Center to build a complete automated medication management system.

Terminal devices feed data into a server-based system that manages medication inventories, medical records, and billing.

The system has cut medication delivery costs by two-thirds, Microsoft says.

IBM

Bluemix is a cloud-based platform-as-a-service created by IBM based on its Watson IoT platform; it allows for the secure transfer of data from cardiac monitoring devices to a system running on a server.

This solution allows you to track cardiac monitoring data, which is then transmitted via the Bluemix Secure Gateway service to the IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack, which converts it and sends it to the corporate data repository for storage.

Over the years, IBM has formed many partnerships that allow it to offer various systems in the healthcare field.

Such alliances include collaborating with Medtronic to create medical devices that use IoT and collaboration with Apple to integrate Watson into ResearchKit and HealthKit to collect personal data and use it in clinical trials.

Honeywell Care Solutions

Honeywell Care Solutions’ standalone Seymour platform collects medical data from multiple sources – a blood pressure cuff, blood sugar meter, and fitness tracker – to help practitioners monitor trends and changes in patient’s health outside the hospital setting.

Conclusion

Initially, Seymour will be provided to patients who have undergone surgery or have chronic medical conditions to ensure that their condition is monitored. The Seymour system uses the Android OS and provides patients with individualized care programs.
