IoT Adoption in Healthcare is Surging
IoT is becoming the pulse of healthcare. The pandemic has only served to fuel this adoption.
IoT is changing healthcare. The demand for IoT devices that support functional areas such as remote patient monitoring and contact tracing has escalated since the pandemic. But even before its onslaught, IoT adoption in healthcare was on the rise.
Transformation in healthcare delivery by way of IoT has gained traction over the course of the past decade. During this time, IoT use cases supporting patient tracking and management, remote diagnostics, hygiene care, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance of medical devices and others made their way into the healthcare line of business.
In fact, a Gartner survey analysis published in January 2020 found that 86% of responding healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) reported an IoT solution in place for most lines of business1. Fast forward to now, Omdia estimates more than 250 million medical devices were introduced in the global market in 2020—with an additional 500 million expected to enter the market by 2025.
