Stay ahead of the curve with our Healthcare IT E-book, your guide to the trends and technologies revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Learn how the integration of IoT, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), and advanced Electronic Health Records (EHR) is transforming patient care and healthcare operations.

Rapid Growth of IoT in Healthcare

The number of connected IoT devices in healthcare is skyrocketing:

  • The number of connected devices will grow from 16.7 billion in 2023 to 27 billion by 2025.
  • Healthcare projects in 2024 will include approximately 10.9 billion active devices.

These devices range from wearable sensors to advanced imaging tools and are at the core of digital transformation in healthcare.

Most Common IoT Technologies in Healthcare

  • 64% of healthcare organizations use IoT for patient monitoring.
  • 33% use connected devices for X-rays and medical imaging.
  • Communication protocols like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, and ZigBee dominate the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) landscape.

The Growing IoT Healthcare Market

The global IoT healthcare market is on track to hit $3.3 trillion by 2030. This explosive growth is driven by innovation, demand for better patient outcomes, and the shift toward home-based care.

Remote Patient Monitoring: Empowering Patients

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is one of the most transformative aspects of connected care:

  • Enables real-time care for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease
  • Expands healthcare access in rural areas
  • Reduces hospital visits and improves quality of life

RPM empowers patients to take charge of their health while staying connected to care teams from home.

Future of Electronic Health Records (EHR)

The next generation of EHR systems will leverage AI and Machine Learning to:

  • Improve interoperability between systems
  • Enhance patient engagement
  • Deliver predictive analytics for earlier diagnoses and personalized treatment

Cybersecurity in Connected Healthcare

With each medical IoT device containing an average of six vulnerabilities in 2024, cybersecurity is more important than ever. Stricter regulations are expected to change the way connected medical devices are:

  • Designed
  • Secured
  • Trusted by patients and providers
