The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) in medicine, particularly the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and its applications in transforming healthcare through telehealth. It highlights the benefits of IoMT, such as improving patient care, reducing costs, and facilitating better adherence to treatment plans, while also addressing challenges like interoperability, security, and data privacy. The document concludes with a projection of the significant economic impact of healthcare IoT in the near future.

5. Introduction
In internet of things(IOT) , devices can gather and
share information with each other and the cloud ,
making it possible to collect , record and analyze new
data streams faster and more accurately . Hence
resulted in improved care quality and access in
healthcare industry :

8. Transforming the
healthcare by IOT
One of the main ways IoT is changing Healthcare is
Telehealth.
Telehealth is where technology meets the healthcare
industry to deliver virtual medical, health and
educational services.
The ever-increasing cost of providing healthcare is
the primary driver behind telehealth’s popularity

10. Transforming the
healthcare by IOT
How does Telehealth reduce costs?
#1 Reduces number of hospitalizations
By keeping patients out of hospitals therefore cutting
the expense of hospital stays/visits.
#2 Reduces amount of employee absenteeism
By providing patients access to care and disease
management through wellness programs and the like
results in less time away from the workplace.

11. Transforming the
healthcare by IOT
#3 Grants Patients the Ability to Administer Their
Own Care
Transferring some of the responsibility to patients for
their own treatments often leads to reductions in
hospital or doctor visits.
#4 Limits Non-Essential Expenditures
Savings through a decrease or elimination of travels
costs and lost income/productivity levels.

12. Transforming the
healthcare by IOT
#5 Improves Overall Health
Increasing disease and treatment awareness and
education can lead to improved patient health and
consequently a reduction of healthcare costs.

Why IOMT ?
Aging World Population Will Continue to Burden the Healthcare System
The IoMT might be the silver bullet for our communities to address a burdened healthcare
system that will only be under more stress as our population continues to age. By
2025, 1.2 billion of the 8 billion people on earth will be elderly; equivalent to the population
of India. Elderly people tend to have more healthcare issues, therefore increasing costs.
So, as life expectancy rises, it is expected that healthcare costs will follow suit.
IoMT can provide a better way to care for our elderly and has a tremendous potential to
help deal with the rising costs of care. IoMT devices can help track vitals and heart
performance, monitor glucose and other body systems, and activity and sleeping levels.
Adhering to Doctor’s Orders
IoMT isn’t intended to replace healthcare providers but to provide them with the data
gathered from devices for better diagnoses and treatment plans as well as to reduce
inefficiencies and waste in the healthcare system.

Why IOMT ?
Adhering to Doctor’s Orders (cont…)
A connected medical device provides objective reporting of actual activity, whereas
without its reporting providers must rely on subjective patient reports to detail how they
feel. Similarly, IoMT devices help to monitor patient behavior and activity away from the
office, so the provider will have actual data to refer to regarding compliance to patient
therapy recommendations and what transpires after a patient leaves a medical facility.
As well as all reasons mentioned in Telehealth

21. Applications of
IOMT

22. 1. Connected
contact lenses
-Alcon (part of Novartis) has licensed
Google’s smart lens technology which
involves non-invasive sensors embedded
within contact lenses.
The lenses may eventually be able to
measure glucose levels of diabetes
patients via their tears and then store the
information in a mobile device.
22

23. The most immediate use for IoT
technology in healthcare is not to assist in
diagnoses, though, but to ensure
adherence. Adding sensors to medicines
or delivery mechanisms allows doctors to
keep accurate track of whether patients
are sticking to their treatment plan.
23
2. Connected
inhalers

24. ￮ This provides motivation but also clarity for
patients. Devices connected to mobile
apps allow for patients to receive
reminders, as well as to check on their own
adherence.
￮ Novartis is undertaking connected inhaler
research with both Qualcomm and
Propeller Health, developing inhalers for
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD).

inhalers

25. Propeller’s Breezhaler device connects to its
digital platform via a sensor, passively
recording and transmitting usage data.
Novartis’ own device will likely not be released
until 2019, though, showing the timescales
involved in this sort of research.

27. Proteus Digital Health and its ingestible
sensors are another example of digital
medicine.
Again, the chief purpose of this technology,
trialed with an antipsychotic and a
hypertension pill, is to monitor adherence.
However, in this case, the pill dissolves in the
stomach and produces a small signal which is
picked up by a sensor worn on the body, which
again relays the data to a smartphone app.
27
3.Ingestible sensors

28. According to a study by the World Health
Organisation in 2003, 50% of medicines are
not taken as directed. Proteus’ system is one
effort to reduce this figure.

1. Interoperability :
To work effectively, IoMT solutions must be
interoperable with one another, along with the
various providers and payers that are using
the technologies.
2. Security :
As more medical devices become connected
to one another and other systems, there's an
increased risk for a data breaches or
cyberattacks.

32. 32
3. Data privacy :
Patients may not be comfortable with regular sharing
of their health information, which means healthcare
organizations and vendors must learn how to
maintain trust in the digital age.
4.Scalability :
To fully realize the value of IoMT tools, healthcare
organizations must scale them across their entire
system to drive patient outcomes.

33. 33
5. Regularity Change :
The regulatory landscape is still adjusting to emerging
technologies, which IoMT vendors and developers must
keep their eyes on.
6. Digital talent and building digital
capability :
A shortage of relevant digital talent among IT staff could affect an
organization's ability to deploy IoMT tools.
