Increasing Knowledge about the Internet of Things

During 2011–2020, a significantly large number of devices were connected to the internet than ever before, and this trend would continue steadily in the coming decades as well. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has propelled the development of various health practices aimed at improving population health. Many services and applications of IoT in healthcare—eHealth, mobile health (mHealth), ambient assisted living, semantic devices, wearable devices and smartphones, and community-based healthcare—have been examined in several recent studies. These services have been extensively informative and can be used for a variety of purposes across single condition and cluster condition management, including allowing healthcare professionals to track and monitor patient progress remotely, improving self-management of chronic conditions, assisting in the early detection of abnormalities, and accelerating symptom identification and clinical diagnoses. Further, IoT-powered apps have the potential to make better use of healthcare resources while providing high-quality, low-cost medical treatment.

Further artificial intelligence (AI) has boosted the availability of point-of-care health information; for example, chatbots (also known as AI physicians) can provide lifestyle and medical advice. Woebot, Your. Md, Babylon, and HealthTap are among other examples of well-known AI bots that provide immediate recommendations to patients, based on details/symptoms entered by them.

Opportunities for IoT innovation in the healthcare industry are continuously emerging and evolving. Medical facilities have special challenges, and vendors of IoT are developing new approaches to address those challenges.

Increasing Acceptance of Mobile Health Technology

Advancements in mobile technology, coupled with growing health concerns, are fueling the growth of mHealth services (MHS) across the world. Mobile and wireless technologies hold the potential to change the way healthcare is delivered. Rapid advancements in mobile technologies and applications, an increase in new opportunities for integrating mobile health into existing eHealth services, and ongoing expansion of mobile cellular network coverage are among the major factors supporting the proliferation of mHealth solutions. As per the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) estimates, there are more than 5 billion wireless subscribers, with over 70% of them living in low- and middle-income countries in 2020. According to the GSM Association, commercial wireless transmissions have reached ~85% of the world's population, i.e., far beyond the reach of the electric grid. The proliferation of wireless communication would not only help enhance the quality of care and the health of patients but also save huge unnecessary healthcare costs every year by simply assisting in addressing the issue of poor prescription drugs. The applications of mHealth are likely to expand in the coming years. As diabetes grows more prevalent in the US, the potential of mHealth apps to help in diabetes care and prevention will be one of the most important domains for mHealth app producers. For instance, Britain’s National Health Service launched their Test Bed Programme, in which Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic patients were to be experimented with health technology, allowing them to self-manage their conditions by staying at home. This helps patients in cutting down additional costs incurred in the form of hospital stays. Also, in addition to the improved internet connectivity, decreasing internet costs, particularly in developing countries, are the major factors boosting the adoption of mHealth applications.

Various other next-generation health apps are mentioned below:

• The Mobile MIM app was the first medical app in Apple's App Store. It is used to view, register, fuse, and show medical images from SPECT, PET, CT, MRI, X-ray, and Ultrasound examinations for diagnosis purposes. Mobile MIM enhances physicians' access to pictures and allows them to consult with peers by providing wireless and portable access to medical images.
