IoT healthcare companies have played an increasingly crucial role within the healthcare industry over recent years and will continue to do so as digitalisation is further adopted across the sector.
Recommended Buyer's Guides
The IoT is a system of wireless, interrelated, and connected digital devices that can collect, send and store data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. For example, in the healthcare industry, IoT allows a range of medical devices to be connected to a server, allowing patients to monitor their health and connect to their healthcare providers remotely. IoT can also be used in R&D, clinical trials, supply chains, and manufacturing.
Leading IoT healthcare companies and solutions
By integrating new and existing digital technologies such as connected medical devices, remote patient monitoring (RPM), mHealth, and electronic health records (EHRs), healthcare systems can expand their services whenever and however is most convenient to each individual patient.
Leading adopters include UnitedHealth, Humana, CVS Health, Mayo Clinic, Zoetis, and GE Healthcare.
