The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) – where physical devices are instrumented to capture and transmit data covering everything from environmental conditions to usage patterns and user behaviors – is arguably the next wave of digital advancement. The “things” in IoT can refer to a wide variety of devices such as subcutaneous drug delivery units, continuous glucose monitors and vitals monitoring equipment. The expanded sensing and communication capabilities of these “things” is a harbinger of new business possibilities. Not surprisingly, IoT is making inroads in the medical devices industry. Medical devices and diagnostic companies are transforming themselves from not only devices/consumables providers but also disease/care management organizations to achieve better health outcomes. In the hospital, manufacturers are connecting devices to enable health care professional to make the smarter decisions on care delivery and treatments. And with increasing outpatient and at-home treatment, connected devices enable remote patient monitoring to ensure safety, accuracy and timeliness of treatment.
IoT promises to transform how medical device companies operate — from product design and development, to manufacturing, sales, performance monitoring and service. The IoT’s global network of sensors and touchpoints is already raising the bar across health care — allowing device manufacturers, labs, health care providers and patients to reap more benefits from the increasingly digital, closely connected and highly competitive medical device market.
This session will explore the latest on IoT and connected devices and how to realize the three key benefits of a differentiated user experience, streamlined operations and lower cost and instant feedback.
