People are embracing connected objects that are actively caring for them. As the decades have gone on, we’ve seen everything around us advance technologically at a rapid pace. Looking at Moore’s law, you can see the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This in turn has allowed faster innovation in technology in every sector, from social networks, search engines and banking, to name a few. Despite all of this innovation, the healthcare sector has been slow to adapt. The healthcare system in the U.S. has been reactive, rather than proactive, for decades. When a person would get sick and go to the doctor, the encounter would be documented on paper. Until recently, paper was and is the staple of healthcare technology. For the first time in history the doctor-patient experience is changing. A patient can schedule an appointment through an app, a doctor can carry all patient medical records with them anywhere through an app, and doctors and patients can now message via apps on cell phones. People from around the world are now more connected and data can be aggregated about health, faster then ever. We see local and global trends with our health and people can predict future outcomes more accurately. As this trend in innovation speeds up, we’re finding more healthcare apps and hardware that are connected to the Internet, an “Internet of Healthy Things.” More here - http://hitconsultant.net/2015/01/12/rise-of-the-internet-of-things-in-healthcare/
