Internet of Things
• Objective reporting: no longer rely solely on subjective
patient’s feeling”; instead, by the devices,
• Remote monitoring: healthcare provider will have a
“report card” of actual patient therapy compliance
• Local activity recording: the data will vastly improve
our understanding of the mechanism of action of these
chronic diseases
• Automation: decreases human error or fraudulent
reporting within hospitals and sub-acute care facilities,
• Precision medicine: optimized for that individual
facilitates improved therapy with decreased undesired
side effects
• Adaptability: the system iterates on that feedback and
adjusts for improved patient outcomes.
