IoT is one such technology that has successfully disrupted various industries and is now stepping into the healthcare domain. The <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tjmccue\/2015\/04\/22\/117-billion-market-for-internet-of-things-in-healthcare-by-2020\/#38979c2e69d9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report from MarketResearch.com<\/a><\/u> says that IoT in healthcare is poised to increase to 117 billion dollars by 2020. With the growing role of IoT, we will soon be witnessing path-breaking innovation in the healthcare industry. Let us take a look at some of the benefits of IoT in healthcare:<\/p>\n<h1>Benefits of IoT in healthcare<\/h1>\n<p>IoT is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allerin.com\/blog\/4-ways-ai-is-transforming-the-healthcare-industry\">transforming the healthcare industry<\/a> with new apps. The aim is to provide patients with improved services and holistic healthcare.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost<\/h2>\n<p>One of the major advantages of introducing IoT in healthcare is reduced costs. The remote patient monitoring devices help bring down the number of visits to the hospital. The devices enable daily check-ups at home, thus avoiding the cost of traveling to and fro, and involves no doctor fees. Not to say, real-time monitoring with such devices helps doctors monitor their patient\u2019s progress accurately.<\/p>\n<h2>Ease<\/h2>\n<p>Due to IoT\u2019s real-time monitoring, doctors can get their patient\u2019s health data on a continuous basis. This helps doctors to treat a disease before it aggravates. \u00a0IoT devices help family members monitor their patient\u2019s well-being even when they\u2019re not around her physically.<\/p>\n<h2>Immediacy<\/h2>\n<p>IoT healthcare solutions offer doctors with real-time patient updates, which helps them take immediate actions in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n<h2>Accuracy<\/h2>\n<p>IoT healthcare solutions offer accurate data in real-time, which minimizes or eliminates the scope for errors.<\/p>\n<h2>Customization<\/h2>\n<p>With dedicated IoT solutions, the health of each patient is analyzed well and the treatment is tailored to their needs. This enhances a patient\u2019s experience at a healthcare facility and leaves her feeling satisfied and cared for.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Use cases of IoT in healthcare <\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Shared below are a few real life use cases of IoT in healthcare:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allerin.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-role-of-IoT-in-transforming-healthcare.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8931\" src=\"http:\/\/www.allerin.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-role-of-IoT-in-transforming-healthcare.png\" alt=\"The role of IoT in transforming healthcare\" width=\"899\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allerin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-role-of-IoT-in-transforming-healthcare.png 899w, https:\/\/www.allerin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-role-of-IoT-in-transforming-healthcare-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/www.allerin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-role-of-IoT-in-transforming-healthcare-768x452.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Future Path Medical &#8211; \u201c<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.future-path.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Future Path Medical<\/a><\/u> has developed UroSense, a medical device system that automates urine output and core body temperature (CBT) data gathering and charting for catheterized patients.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>QardioCare &#8211; \u201c<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getqardio.com\/qardiocore-wearable-ecg-ekg-monitor-iphone\/?gclid=CJO8tpaV1dECFYdrfgodXVIMGA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QardioCore <\/a><\/u>is the world\u2019s first ECG monitor designed to provide continuous medical-grade data while fitting your lifestyle.\u201d Unlike any other device, this device allows you to track your health on smartphones, get ECG results, offers an easy-to-wear feature, share results with doctors.<\/li>\n<li>Philips\u2019 Automated Medication Dispensing Service &#8211; \u201c<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.philips.com\/pill-dispenser\/health-mdp.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philips Automated Medication Dispensing service<\/a><\/u> is a simple way to manage even the most complex medication regimens.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>It is both difficult and exciting to predict what IoT will offer the healthcare industry in the coming years.
