How is IoMT Revolutionizing Medical Device Manufacturing?

By MedTech Outlook | Wednesday, August 05, 2020

A robust IoMT-driven solution is a requirement for any medical enterprise to help treat all diseases.

FREMONT, CA: Among all the state-of-the-art technologies, comprising those related to the manufacturing sphere, the IoT-incorporated solutions in the healthcare sector are one of the most rapidly growing areas in the industry. Designed in the first place for vital and noble goals, this kind of technology is encouraged for every human being. According to the investigation of the Research and Markets, the number of IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) devices might reach to 20-30 billion by 2020, compared to 4.5 billion in 2015.

IoMT devices can be of tremendous assistance when it comes to attaining, processing, and analyzing large bulks of data. Getting relevant information on all health indicators, sensitivity reactions, test results, and environmental conditions can help physicians discover an accurate diagnosis and assign an effective therapy.

Applying IoT to medical devices can be used for remote health monitoring, also known as a telemonitoring. Deploying the IoT solution decreases the cost of medical assistance, as in some cases, the patients do not have to visit hospitals. Patients can stay at home in comfortable conditions, while the physicians can remotely monitor any changes in the health and act accordingly to obtain data.

One of those is an ingestible smart medicine combining sensor of a rice grain size, offering both patients and physicians with correct and exhaustive data on health conditions. When the medication reaches the stomach, it sends data to a wearable sensor, integrated with a smartphone application.

Digital technology and information management are in rapid transformation and break new hurdles each day. It won't take long until the IoT solutions integration would be a worldwide common practice, including across-the-board Internet of Medical Things.
