T in healthcare ever comes remote monitoring where anyone can consult a doctor and receive prescriptions without necessarily having to consult one in person. Here’s how, with a small IoT device – a camera assisted by a number of sensors. Capturing and analysing the data, IoT devices notify doctors on the derived results. With detailed reports, doctors or medical practitioners can now prescribe necessary medicines right from their location.
All data that an IoT device collects is stored at the cloud. It is quite tough to grab an appointment with the doctor and it is quite common that you don’t have all the necessary medical history that the doctor may request for. But with their complete medical record at the cloud, patients can now easily grant the doctors their medical history, making it simple and easier for the doctors to offer them the appropriate medical advice or treatment as early as possible.
From X-ray machines and MRIs to prescribing proper medicines, IoT can monitor and control every machine and with all its significance; it would be more suiting to say that rather than being just another device on the doctor’s table or just an equipment at the lab, IoT has really revolutionized health care.
