With a growing number of health care patients wanting greater access to their own medical data, recently released a report detailing the projected increase in internet-connected patient monitoring devices that is contributing Frost & Sullivan significantly to the growth of the overall Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) market.
The IoMT is specifically focused on healthcare information technologies, allowing the transfer of medical data between physicians and patients. The embrace of IoMT is contributing to a reduction in unnecessary trips to hospitals that in turn is lowering the overall burden on healthcare systems.
The Frost & Sullivan study answers several key questions, including:
- How the IoMT differs from mobile healthcare technologies via improving the reliability and overall quality of existing healthcare infrastructure.
- The role played by advanced computing techniques and analytics in secure storage, transmission, and decoding of large sets of data over long distances by the IoMT.
- How the IoMT can enable clinicians to reliably use medical data in the process of making decisions for improving the treatments used on a variety of disorders.
- The role played by the IoMT in securing clinical data from cyber attacks.
The report provides key insight about the digital healthcare transformation that is now underway.
