The global population will be very close to 10 billion by 2050. A UN report forecasts the figure stating that life expectancy is projected to increase by almost five years as well as fertility rates are to drop by a quarter. Moreover, a significant demographic shift will be witnessed over the years.
It is learned that an aging population will double the share of retirees across the world. Healthcare needs to evolve to meet the challenge. Amid such a scenario, IoT (Internet of Things) solutions will present a promising path forward.
IoT is revolutionizing in healthcare. It seamlessly integrates physical and digital worlds. It captures health and environmental data. The data is used in automation systems, advanced AI analysis, real-time monitoring and data-retrieving applications. The role of IoT is to incrase in healthcare with further advancement of technology.
One of the main benefits of IoT in healthcare is its potential to ease the burden on medical facilities. Wearable-based remote health monitoring is to emerged at a rapid pace and IoT in it can help in detecting serious health issues early. Hence, patients can seek medical assistance before conditions worsen. Centralized platforms can process the data with AI-based applications and provide individualized forecasts. The approach can improve patient outcomes and optimize use of medical resources as well.
The impact of IoT extends beyond just monitoring of the patients. It also enhances connectivity, remote access and transparency within the medical facilities. It simultaneously encourages more institutions to adopt IoT management platforms.
Hospitals can streamline record-keeping, drug management and inventory control. IoT can also help them in connecting every room, bed, device and application to a centralized system. All these further helps in more informed and future-proof decision-making by healthcare administrators.
