How IoMT Is Shaping Healthcare

The Internet of Things (IoT), also known as the ecosystem of connected devices that collects and transmits data from users and their environments, is impacting the world. Smart phones, laptops and any equipment in general owned by a user can help various industries understand consumer behaviors and develop better technology.

This network of devices is leaving its footprint in healthcare. In the current COVID-19 world, the interactions between patients and caregivers have become remote in many cases. This has created an increased need for intelligent medical devices that enable caregivers to diagnose and treat patients remotely. 

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) consists of medical devices, platforms and other tools – anything from inhalers or wearable biosensors to chatbots and thermometers – with a deep impact on patients' health outcomes.
