IoMT is the Internet-connected medical devices, infrastructure hardware & digital applications used to connect healthcare IT. This is a patient-centric approach enabling patients to transfer medical data easily, helping to reduce medical visits. The current global market of IoMT is around $22 billion and is growing with a CAGR of 25%, expected around $72 billion. There are several reasons for the increase in IoMT like Increased patient engagement, Choose Home-care Act, shortage of medical staff, accurate diagnosis, remote monitoring of chronic diseases, improve drug management, and reduces the cost of care.
IoMT has not been restricted to wearable/plantable devices, but this will include implantable devices ( like smart pacemakers, smart pills) as well. One of the important questions with respect to how we integrate these IoMT devices, these are the core methods to do the same:
- SDK’s ( Software development kit)
- Protocol document / GATT profile ( General Attribute profile)
- Health Cloud API’s like Validic & health frameworks ( Apple & Google)
- IOT based ethernet boxes.
Following are the different kinds of platforms that are increasing with IoMT:
- Chronic patient management/self-care management ( smart Belts)
- Holistic wellness /corporate wellness/ gamification
- Femtech apps ( Ovulation-period tracking and fetal health tracking)
- Elderly care/ fall detection
- Screening, diagnosis, and treatment ( ECG )
- Child monitoring wearable ( smartSocks – owletcare)
