Healthcare Use Cases

IoT use cases in healthcare span in-hospital treatment, remote monitoring and even medical devices tracking. Discover where IoT can make an impact: 

Hospital Monitoring

IoT enables continuous patient monitoring within a clinical setting through healthcare IoT devices, such as heart rate monitors, blood pressure cuffs, and oxygen sensors. The data on critical changes in a patient's condition can be detected early, improving response times and patient outcomes.    

Pill Dispensers

Smart pill dispensers equipped with IoT track medication usage and ensure timely administration of prescribed doses. These dispensers send alerts to both patients and healthcare providers if a dose is missed or if medication levels are low. This can also provide insights into a patient's health progress and support personalized treatment adjustments.   

Remote Patient Monitoring IoT

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) via IoT-enabled devices allows healthcare providers to track a patient's health data from home or other non-clinical environments. Wearable devices such as smartwatches and health trackers continuously collect patient health data and transmit it to healthcare teams.    

eHealth, Telehealth IoT & Telecare

eHealth is an umbrella term encompassing all digital healthcare solutions often using IoT today, including telehealth, electronic health records (EHRs), and health information systems. Telehealth and telecare are two aspects of healthcare that use IoT technology to provide remote medical services and support. Telehealth uses IoT-enabled devices for virtual consultations and remote diagnostics, while Telecare is focused on patient safety, monitors vital signs, detects emergencies, and ensures continuous care.

Cardiac Rhythm Management

IoT-powered cardiac rhythm management systems continuously monitor a patient's heart activity, including arrhythmias and other abnormalities, through implanted devices like pacemakers and defibrillators. IoT connectivity helps to transmit data on heart rate and rhythm to healthcare professionals for ongoing analysis. 

Blood Pressure Monitoring

Blood pressure monitoring devices allow for continuous tracking of a patient's blood pressure in real-time. Using IoT connectivity, these devices send data to healthcare providers, enabling early detection of hypertension or other related conditions, adjusting medication and treatment plans. 

Coagulation Monitoring

Coagulation tracking involves healthcare IoT devices or wearables that use biosensors to measure parameters like INR or blood viscosity. The transferred insights are sent to doctors’ analysis, while alerts are generated in case of abnormal results both for patients and personnel. 

Sleep Therapy Monitoring

IoT devices designed for sleep therapy track parameters such as sleep stages, oxygen levels, and airflow to help manage sleep disorders like sleep apnea. The data is collected throughout the night and transmitted to healthcare providers for analysis. 

Blood Oxygen & Airflow Monitoring

Blood oxygen and airflow monitoring devices use IoT connectivity to continuously track a patient’s oxygen saturation levels, helping to detect respiratory issues such as hypoxemia. Real-time data helps to change treatment on time and react instantly to critical indicators.  

Glucose Level Monitoring

IoT-enabled glucose level monitoring systems continuously deliver the data on patient's blood glucose levels to manage diabetes. This allows for immediate adjustments in insulin dosage or diet. With IoT, patients can maintain better control over their glucose levels, preventing long-term complications. 

Medication Compliance Monitoring

Medication compliance monitoring systems track patient adherence to prescribed medication regimens. These systems use IoT-connected pill dispensers or wearable devices to monitor whether patients are taking their medications as prescribed and send reminders when doses are missed.

Clinical Trials

IoT is changing clinical trials via collection of patient data, such as vital signs, medication adherence, and physical activity, without the need for constant in-person visits. IoT also supports personalized treatment protocols and helps researchers track patient responses to interventions.
