IoT is changing healthcare by enabling constant connectivity and data sharing between doctors, hospitals, and devices. This allows machines to potentially replace doctors for some tasks like diagnosis and remote monitoring. In the future, IoT-enabled smart devices and medical records access will improve accuracy and help doctors analyze patients' health over time. Implementing IoT in healthcare provides benefits like reducing costs, improving care quality, and enabling real-time communication across the industry.

3. The Internet of Things is the network of
physical devices, vehicles, home appliances
and other items embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity
which enables these objects to connect and
exchange data. (Wikipedia)
Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its
embedded computing system, but is able to
inter-operate within the existing Internet
infrastructure.(Wikipedia)
This allows smart devices to connect and
instantly transmit information.

4. WHEN IOT MEETS HEALTHCARE
IoT promises to revolutionize
healthcare by providing instant
connectivity and information sharing
between doctors and hospitals.
Present applications even
encompass machine learning
assisting care-givers in making quick,
accurate diagnosis.
Did You Know?
Researchers at Stanford University
have used machine learning to
identify heart arrhythmias from an
ECG, more accurately than human
cardiologists.

5. Are increasingly important and may even
replace doctors in the future for
surgeries, diagnosis, clinic visits, etc.
