The document discusses Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare. It notes that while IoT has become integrated into many people's lives through devices like activity trackers, connecting medical devices poses challenges around data integration, security, and ensuring information can be accessed quickly. The document provides examples of how IoT could help in emergency situations by allowing hospitals to monitor patients' vital signs during ambulance transport, helping doctors prepare for treatment. Overall it frames IoT as having potential to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce costs if infrastructure issues are addressed.

6. The Intelligence
• On the express way, there is black ice due to which many
vehicles crashed into ditches and continue to do so. Many
are seeing this situation, yet there is no warning or
information available about the black ice 5 miles before
that can inform vehicles to be cautious.
• This resembles the idea that plenty of data is available and
is coming at a very fast pace, yet it is not used because it is
firewalled

7. With all the data being stored and transferred into and out of
medical facilities, connectivity is critical at every point along that
process.
In addition, communication between departments and facilities
can be time sensitive and can directly impact patient care.
Of course, all of these cases also require top notch security, in
addition to fast, reliable connectivity.

“In the realm of IoT Healthcare, connected devices
spit tremendous amount of useful data. Without
proper analytics data errors go unnoticed. Data that
is dirty, or has no proper access or has delayed access
give rise to stale data.”

14. X-ray of

• Data journey is complicated
• Every system is independent
in its own way
• Fundamentals are very
different
• No continuity of data from
beginning to end

15. Infrastructure and Data Flow

16. Gartner Findings
The fragmented views of IoT security have
resulted in fragmented approaches to
securing IoT.
To address these issues, IoT security as
SRM leaders know it must die and be
reborn as an integrated market of security
solutions for technology layers and an
architected, integrated approach in
organizations to IoT programs.

18. Vulnerability and Security 
Few areas are highly vulnerable:
• Communication
• Software & Lifecycle
• Physical
We asked 1,200 tech sector workers
what they thought about security
Sixty-seven percent (67%) thought most
technology companies did not regard
security as fundamental.
Arm believes this is a problem.

19. Use case – done right
Consider the importance of IoT in an emergency ambulatory situation.
In case of a fatal road accident, hospitals can save valuable time if they
install ECG machines and transmission capabilities (IoT) to share the
patients’ vital stats with ER physicians or surgeons.
As a result, when the ambulance reaches the hospital premise,
everyone in the ER would be aware of how to stabilize and treat the
patient immediately

20. IoT Patient Bed/Room Planning
 Goal: Count patients at check-in to predict bed/room space capacity.
 Scope: Capture video of incoming patients demonstrating the
technology’s ability to identify patients and provide capacity limit
notifications.
 Scenario: As patients check in and based on beds and available space in
take can be managed and correct time can be shared with care takers.

21. Strategic and
Architectural
direction
Marketing, Sales and other traditional
architectural approaches may not work
for HealthCare
Architecture and planning needs to be at
the foundation of devices, products,
programs and services
Agile architecture with strategic road
map(s) is a must
Rethink products and programs at global
level

22. Why we do this?
• Healthcare IoT market is expected to reach at
$117 billion by the year 2020
(MarketResearch.com)
• Safety and Security
• Better and faster care
• Cost reduction and Faster ROI

23. Future
There is ton of work in this space. Product vendors, service
providers, and system integrators have many opportunities in
infrastructure, integration, AI, automation, etc.
For consumers, patients, and insurers, what used to be days and
months is now a matter of minutes and seconds.
Actionable info is readily available just frame it right to make it right
For consumers, the future is bright
For vendors and implementors, the opportunity is right

Knowingly or unknowingly Internet of Things (IoT) has become a part of almost everyone’s lives these days. From using activity
tracking devices to tele-consulting our physicians from the comforts of our offices, we are integrating connected devices in our life.
For patients, it’s definitely a matter of convenience which helps them lead a healthier life. On the other side of the spectrum,
Healthcare providers are also studying the impact this new wave of technology can bring to their practices.. Moreover, as per a
report by MarketResearch.com, the Healthcare IoT market is expected to reach at $117 billion by the year 2020
IoT in healthcare is much more than smart sensors and enormous amount of data movement between people and devices.
Players in the healthcare landscape continue to be enthusiastic about IoT as it comes with the promise of improving care outcome
and reducing overall costs which eventually can save a lot of lives. Regular monitoring and analysis of data can prevent chronic
diseases, a major reason behind readmissions and deaths.
To cite an example, I would highlight the importance of IoT in an emergency ambulatory situation. In case of a fatal road accident,
hospitals can save valuable time if they install ECG machines and transmission capabilities to share the patients’ vital stats with
ER physicians/surgeons. As and when the ambulance reaches the hospital premise, everyone in the ER would be aware about
how to stabilize and treat the patient immediately.
