The Internet of Things (IoMT) includes devices used in the health and medical industry. They do not believe in IoT in general not only in terms of usability, but also in design. IoT is often shipped to customers, designed for convenience and maximum usability. Other brands affect the accuracy, reliability and above all safety. IoMT Internet of Things (IoMT) is a combination of medical devices and applications that can be connected to a medical information technology system using network technology. It will reduce unnecessary hospital visits and therefore the burden on the health care system by connecting patients with their doctors and allowing the transfer of health information to a safety network.


The IoMT market is made up of smart devices, such as medical / vital monitors and wearable devices, which are used solely for healthcare in the body, community or home, clinic or hospital and the associated real-time, telemedicine and other. Services.



The IoT healthcare market is projected to reach $ 136.8 billion worldwide by 2021, according to a report by Allied Market Research. The Internet of Things is a system of medical device and application connectivity that collects data and provides it to medical IT systems over an online computer network.


There are several realities that have enabled this dramatic growth. This includes reduced accessibility for portable devices and lower costs for sensor technology. Today, most mobile consumer devices are equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to communicate with IT systems. In addition, the incidence of chronic diseases is increasing, and the demand for better treatment options and lower medical costs makes it more attractive to embark on new innovations that can achieve better medical outcomes and efficiency. The expansion and access of high-speed Internet and the favorable regulatory policies of the government have also contributed to the growing adoption of IoMT.

Benefits for Healthcare Professionals

Main Impact Areas for IoT Enablement in the Healthcare Sector 

  • Optimal use of resources and infrastructures
  • Reduction of response times in the event of a medical emergency.

Benefits for Device Manufacturers

  • Standardization / compatibility and uniformity of available data
  • Ability to detect and communicate health-related data to a remote location

Technical limitations

  • IoT data security (hacking and unauthorized use of IoT)
  • Lack of communication standards and protocols.
  • Errors in handling patient data
  • Data integration
  • Need for medical experience
  • Manage the diversity and interoperability of devices
  • Scale, data volume and performance

Market challenges

  • Physician Compliance
  • Data overload in healthcare facilities
  • mobile hesitation
  • Compliance with security policy
  • Real-time intervention in emergency situations
  • Cost reduction
  • Reduction in morbidity and financial burden due to fewer follow-up visits.

As the number of connected devices increases, IT systems will need to determine how to securely manage the data load. For IoMT things to be truly transformative, healthcare organizations will need to understand how to transform all the data they collect into insights that can inform action. As the momentum for this transformation increases, hospital administrators, manufacturers and suppliers will need to work together to drive the cultural metamorphosis of healthcare.
