In 2020, some 30.7 billion IoT devices are expected to be active in the world. An estimated 40% of IoT devices will be used in healthcare.
Yet connected health represents only 30.3% of connected devices, according to Intel.
Even as healthcare delivery organizations embrace the acquisition of more IoT and IoMT devices, issues such as cost, complexity and security can slow deployment progress. Information captured from active and passive devices raises questions about how and where to manage, process, and store this data. Depending on the data source and type, compliance concerns such as HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulations must be considered. And we can’t forget security. If they’re not sufficiently secured, adding devices to a network also adds more access points for hackers.
