The internet of things (IoT) is technology that connects physical objects to the internet, allowing them to send and receive data. It can have a major impact on health care, from improving the efficiency of medical facilities to connecting patients and healthcare professionals in new ways. For hospitals, IoT technology can help make systems more efficient and automated, reduce paperwork, and provide a better patient experience. For patients, the IoT can help gather data about the patient’s health and send it to doctors and other healthcare professionals to improve diagnosis, care, and outcomes. The IoT is also helping to push health care into the home, as connected medical devices offer doctors and patients better information and improved methods of remote healthcare. Ultimately, IoT has the potential to create a more individualized and personalized health care experience.
