The supply and demand across several industrial sectors are witnessing massive pressure. Providing essential services to a large number of people simultaneously is becoming challenging for each industry, including healthcare. It is difficult for healthcare service providers to reach each of the patients at a remote location at the right time and treat them properly. As a result, the internet of things emerges specifically to diminish the medical field challenges, and it is continuously gaining traction across the market.

The IoT in healthcare connects all the devices and operating machinery together and allows data transfer and storage using the internet. The capability to connect mobile devices and to automate the patient treatment flow is witnessing a large demand for IoT in the healthcare industry. For the past several years, the healthcare sector of several developed countries has shifted their approaches to electronic health record systems instead of paper-based clinical records. The development of this platform is leading the government to invest in IoT to enable healthcare services to be remotely available. Hence, government initiatives supporting the technology development and acceptance are expected to drive the substantial growth for IoT in the healthcare market. Further, the COVID-19 global pandemic has abruptly accelerated the demand for IoT across the healthcare sector.

Increasing Adoption of IoT Technology in Healthcare amid COVID-19 to Surge Demand

The global novel coronavirus pandemic has caused significant changes in the healthcare industry. Owing to the risk of getting infected while diagnosing or treating patients, many hospitals and diagnostic centers have started adopting IoT-based systems. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, medical staff and patients at a field hospital in Wuhan, China, started adopting Cloud-Mind’s AI-synched bracelets and rings synced with an AI platform. This platform is used for constant monitoring of vital signs including heart rate, temperature, and blood oxygen level during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Rapidly spreading viruses and a limited number of medical staff led the government to take quick initiatives to adopt advanced technologies including IoT, artificial intelligence, block-chain, and machine learning. These technologies help doctors to consult, diagnose, and treat patients even in remote locations. For instance, In April 2020, Union Health Ministry of India launched the mobile application named, ‘Aarogya Setu’. These mobile applications help people to monitor their health status and to detect the risk of COVID-19 infection based on location of the tracking system.

Real-time remote patient monitoring has assisted in controlling the spread of novel coronavirus, thereby augmenting the demand for IoT. Numerous crucial operations and clinical processes can be carried out using centrally connected IoT technology. Additionally, cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems help automatically to collect, organize, and store large amounts of clinical data at the database created in the central cloud. Thus, EHR applications using IoT technology can automatically generate a database of the patient’s information, problems, medications, reports, test results, and bills. Healthcare authorities can make valuable decisions through the respective database analysis. Hence, the internet of things based medical applications are gaining traction across the world during the crisis and it is likely to stay after the crisis as well.
