Reduce costs through TeleMonitoring

One of the advantages of using the Internet of Things in health organizations is reducing existing costs. Specialists in this field can use remote monitoring well without the presence of the patient in the hospital. It doesn't matter if the patient is at home, office or other parts of the world. In this situation, the specialist can check the patient's health and provide possible treatments .

This causes the work flow of medical service providers to decrease. In addition, the lack of manpower in health and treatment centers does not cause disturbances in the examination of the patient. Using the Internet of Things in third world countries that do not have many health centers available can also be very useful. The use of such technology will also be effective in areas affected by floods, earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural disasters. In general, the impact of this technology provides many health facilities to people and can be used globally .

 Collection and understanding of medical data :

When the patient is in the hospital, he is taken care of with the help of medical devices such as heart monitor, blood pump, respiratory devices and other devices. However, the implementation and recording of information from these devices requires a lot of time and may be subject to human error. These days, with the help of the Internet of Things, patient data can be automatically transferred through the electronic health record system. This method helps increase data accuracy and allows nurses to spend more time on patient care. On the other hand, doctors are also forced to participate in the interpretation of data so that they can make appropriate decisions about the health and care of people. Due to the increase in the number of medical devices, correct diagnosis will be challenging for doctors..

Patient monitoring :

The evolution of wearable health devices such as  Apple smart watches  made these items play an important role in monitoring people's health. However, these products are still not as accurate as conventional medical equipment. On the other hand, IoT wearable devices can analyze and recognize various health points such as blood pressure, heart rate, brain waves, temperature, physical position, number of steps and breathing pattern of a person. With the help of data collected from IoT devices, doctors can share their feedback with others and provide general advice in emergency situations. Although the Internet of Things has created a huge revolution in the field of health, this technology can also have challenges.
