What is IoT?
• British entrepreneur Kevin Ashton first coined the term in 1999 while working at Auto-ID
Labs (originally called Auto-ID centers - referring to a global network of Radio-frequency
identification (RFID) connected objects).
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles,
buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network
connectivity—that enables these objects to collect and exchange data.
• Analysts estimate that 20+ Billion devices will get connected to the Internet by 2020. In
this exploding Internet of Things (IoT) , users, things and cloud services connect using
the Internet to enable new use cases and new business models across multiple markets
and applications.
Enabling Technologies
IoT: Supporting a large range of
Applications
Role of IoT in Healthcare
• The many uses of the systems and products that connect to the Internet of
Things (IoT) are changing business in numerous industries, including healthcare.
• Patients and providers both stand to benefit from IoT carving out a bigger
presence in healthcare.
• Some uses of healthcare IoT are mobile medical applications or wearable
devices that allow patients to capture their health data
• Hospitals use IoT to keep tabs on the location of medical devices, personnel and
patients.
• IoT can be used to supplement patient treatment through remote monitoring
and communication, and to keep track of patients as they move through a
healthcare facility.
Role of IoT in Healthcare
The IoT plays a significant role in a broad range of healthcare applications, from
managing chronic diseases to preventing disease at the other. Here are some
examples of how its potential is already playing out:
Clinical care:
• Hospitalized patients whose physiological status requires close attention can be
constantly monitored using IoT-driven, non-invasive monitoring.
• This type of solution employs sensors to collect comprehensive physiological
information and uses gateways and the cloud to analyze and store the
information and then send the analyzed data wirelessly to caregivers for further
analysis and review.
• It replaces the process of having a health professional come by at regular
intervals to check the patient’s vital signs, instead providing a continuous
automated flow of information.
Role of IoT in Healthcare
Remote monitoring:
•
There are people all over the world whose health may suffer
because they don’t have ready access to effective health
monitoring.
• But small, powerful wireless solutions connected through the IoT
are now making it possible for monitoring to come to these
patients instead of vice-versa.
• This can be used to securely capture patient health data from a
variety of sensors, apply complex algorithms to analyze the data
and then share it through wirelessly with medical professionals
who can make health recommendations.
• For example, patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases who
are being treated with digitalis could be monitored around the
clock to prevent drug intoxication. Arrhythmias that are randomly
seen on an EKG could be easily detected
Role of IoT in Healthcare
Early intervention/prevention:
Healthy, active people can also benefit from IoT-driven monitoring of their daily
activities and well-being.
A senior living alone, for example, may want to have a monitoring device that
can detect a fall or other interruption in everyday activity and report it to
emergency responders or family members.
For that matter, an active athlete such as a hiker or biker could benefit from such
a solution at any age, particularly if it’s available as a piece of wearable
technology.
IoT Applications
UroSense
• It is a smart fluid management solution offered by the Future Path
Medical.
• It automatically measures the CBT or Core Body Temperature and
urine output of patients Smart monitoring of these vital signs helps
in avoiding infections as well as help in starting early care of
medical conditions like diabetes, prostate cancer, heart failure and
sepsis.
Philips’ Medication Dispensing Service
• Focused around elderly patients who find it difficult to
maintain their medication dosage on their own, MDS
dispenses pre-filled cups as per the scheduled dosage.
• It notifies automatically when it’s time to take medicine,
refill, and malfunctioning or misses dosage.
IoT Applications
Ingestibles
• Proteus Digital Health is focused on a pill-sized ingestible sensors
that measure if the patients are taking medicines as prescribed
by the doctors
Smart Beds
• Detects when a bed is occupied and when a
patient is about to get up.
• Can adjust itself to ensure appropriate
pressure and support is applied to the patient
without the manual interaction of nurses.
Moodables (Mood enhancing wearables):
• A head-mounted wearable that transmits low-intensity currents
to the brain in order to elevate mood.
• Also to improve brain performance in the healthy and impaired.
Benefits of IoT in Healthcare
• Decreased Costs
• Improved Disease Management
• Reduced Errors
• Enhanced Patient Experience
• Enhanced Management of Drugs
• Asset Management
• Environmental Monitoring
Benefits of IoT in Healthcare
• Use the data gleaned from the devices to figure out
who needs the most hands-on attention.
• Non-invasive and more accurate monitoring
avoiding emergency situations.
• Cuts down on the necessity for routine reviews and
checkups.
• Patients can leave for home earlier.
Challenges
• Security of data is also another risk factor that is likely to increase with an
increase in the level of data being shared.
• Some physicians and health IT departments are still adjusting to using and
securing mobile devices during work. Could IoT-derived data be too much for
them to handle?
• Different manufacturers and standards complicate healthcare IoT prosperity
• Healthcare's lack of standards and communication protocols around IoT
• When shared inappropriately, health information may damage reputations or
destroy careers amongst other things. Furthermore, streamlining and digitizing
health data and its subsequent expanded use is likely to strain the data
centers.
Future of IoT in Healthcare
• The Technology Integrated Health Management (TIHM) aims to introduce IoTenabled technology thereby ensuring the following possiblities in the near
future
o Equipping people with sensors, wearables, monitors and other such
devices to monitor their health at home.
o Allowing them to stay within their own homes for longer.
o Preventing or delaying the need for costly long-term care in nursing
homes.
o Reducing the need for unplanned hospital admissions or GP visits.
• Forbes cites a $117 billion market for IoT in healthcare by 2020.
• By 2025, the report estimates that the IoT will have a "total potential economic
impact" of almost $4 trillion up to a possible $11.1 trillion per year.
• According to Goldman Sachs, the IoT may soon fuel a revolution that could
result in nearly $305 billion in savings for the industry.
