No one enjoys spending hours waiting to see the doctor, flipping through old magazines, or mindlessly scrolling on their phone. But what if there was a way to change this unpleasant experience? This is not a far-fetched dream, but rather the potential of the IoT in healthcare. 이 그림: your health metrics are constantly monitored by IoT healthcare devices. Your doctor can remotely check your vitals, medication usage, 그리고 더 – no more scheduling appointments just for a quick check-in.

에 2023, 약 74% of physicians in the US were using IoT telehealth services. That means a lot of people skipping the waiting room time! 그 동안에, The global IoT healthcare market is exploding, growing from about $45.97 billion to a projected $305.55 십억 (2023 – 2032). It’s like healthcare is finally getting with the times and is overdue for an upgrade!

What is the Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT)?

The Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT), also called the Internet of Medical Things (사물인터넷), is essentially a network of connected medical devices and applications. It gathers data in real-time through healthcare IT systems. At its core lies medical devices equipped with Wi-Fi or other wireless techs, forming the backbone of IoHT. These components work together to gather and transmit crucial health data.

IoHT is the adoption of IoT applications, 장치, 소프트웨어, and technologies in healthcare. It also defines the protocol through which the medical sensory software, 애플리케이션, or devices communicate the recorded patient’s information to the cloud server network.

The idea of Healthcare IoT can be traced back to the early 2000s, when electronic medical records (EMRs) and telemedicine first began to emerge. During the COVID-19, it really took off and played a crucial role in health monitoring. As IoHT continues to evolve, it promises to further reshape how healthcare is provided and managed.

How does IoT work in healthcare

IoT 의료 기기는 IoT 환경에서 함께 작동하여 환자로부터 데이터를 얻습니다., communicate data with one another, 분석하고 결과를 산출하다. The architecture of a HIoT network consists of its topology, 그건, the optimal arrangement and connection of its components in a healthcare environment.

  • The sensor medical device––implanted surgically, swallowed as a smart pill or worn on a body part or applications or other IoT healthcare software––obtains and records physiological data such as; 심장 박동수, 체온, 심전도, ECG, 기타.
  • The data is uploaded onto a cloud server system that allows easy access to a Doctor or any other medical personnel who needs to analyze the data for diagnostic or other purposes.
  • The IoT communication between the medical personnel acting as the user, 기준 치수, 환자의 감각 장치가 고정되어 있으며 전송이 항상 유지됩니다..

Benefits of using IoT in healthcare

The IoHT describes the connected ecosystem of medical devices and applications that collect and share health data. By leveraging IoHT technology, healthcare providers can realize numerous benefits, 포함:

  • 실시간 모니터링: IoT devices help healthcare providers to monitor patients in real-time, and be alerted instantly if such abnormalities occur. It aids doctors and nurses in answering patient needs quickly, to improve care outcomes.
  • Improved Patient Care: For patients with chronic conditions, IoT technology like wearables allows for continuous monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate and blood glucose levels. The data gives doctors better information about their patients and can lead to more personalized treatment.
  • Efficient Resource Management: IoT helps hospitals track medical equipment, medications, and even staff in real-time. This minimizes high losses from misplaced assets, and ensures early detection of maintenance issues, it optimizes facility operation and prevents waste.
  • Faster Emergency Response: 긴급 상황에서, IoT devices can send patient data directly to medical teams and allow them to prepare in advance. Location tracking within hospitals also ensures faster response times, which can be crucial for critical care.
  • Reduced Human Error: Healthcare providers rely on the accuracy and real-time data that IoT technology provides. As a result of doing so, a patient receives more accurate diagnosis and better decision making, resulting in less risk of a mistake.
  • Cost Reduction: IoT supports telehealth and remote patient monitoring by reducing the number of in person visits, saving time and money. Real time data can also help hospitals eliminate overhead costs and streamline operations.

맨 위 7 use cases of IoT in healthcare

그만큼 IoT smart healthcare has made significant strides in the healthcare industry. With applications spanning from patient monitoring to virtual assistance, the scope of IoT in healthcare is vast and diverse. 여기, we will talk about seven common use cases of IoT in healthcare.

직원 보호

Probably the most popular smart healthcare use cases are staff protection systems, combining various smart safety devices. They collect comprehensive data about staff well-being and workplace risks and then send it to the cloud. The measurements provided can be used to assess safety conditions, select the right protective measures, and implement necessary actions to enhance staff security (즉, safety management).

Some examples of such healthcare IoT devices are our H3 프로 버튼LW006 LoRaWAN 스마트 배지.

환자 가시성 및 관리

Another type of IoT device in healthcare and an element of patient monitoring are patient monitoring devices. Just like staff badges, they should be worn on patientswrists or necks to collect data specific to patients; from vital signs and movement patterns to physiological indicators and overall patient condition.

By wearing our badges or wristband beacons, the relevant staff can be distributed in time for emergency help and quickly locate the position of the patients. MOKO의 UT2 의료용 손목밴드W3 Pro 스마트 손목밴드 can serve as good examples.

의료 장비 관리

Just like patient monitoring, there are IoT asset tags available to attach to medical equipment to medical equipment to track their location and occupancy status. Hospitals can equip high-value or location-critical equipment, such as wheelchairs, infusion stations, 스마트 침대, and defibrillators, with Bluetooth tags. Such asset tags will prevent misplacement and save time unnecessarily searching. Thus they can also identify underutilized equipment in order to reassign resources and redistribute them to other areas.

예를 들어, using MOKO’s M1P LED Tag and UT1 종이 자산 태그 on wheelchairs or medicine stocks. They help provide location insights on each piece of assets.

Drug Management and Compliance

The use of IoT devices is mainly focused on temperature-sensitive drug monitoring and drug door open/close monitoring, as well as sending notifications for drug taking reminders. Healthcare providers can collect data on temperature-sensitive drug storage and monitor drug cabinet access. This data enables healthcare professionals to ensure medication integrity and patient compliance.

예를 들어, MOKO의 H4 Temperature and Humidity Sensor S03D 도어 센서 are used to monitor drug storage temperature and track medication fridge access. 결과적으로, healthcare providers can track temperature-sensitive drug storage and collect data on drug cabinet access.

Real-time Emergency Response

Instant help can sometimes save a life, by pushing the panic button, 의료는 제 시간에 제공될 수 있습니다. The smart emergency response systems can provide faster and more efficient response. These emergency alert devices are worn by those at risk of accidents but do not require constant carethe elderly prone to falls, pregnant women, or those with conditions like vertigo.

Beyond just monitoring, these systems can also perform a vast number of tasks: They are applied to patient tracking, emergency dispensing, medical resource allocation, real-time communication, 기타.

When an emergency happens, a simple press of MOKO’S B3 비상버튼 sends an immediate alert for help.

Indoor Positioning and Navigation

Technological innovations also offer a promising future in indoor positioning systems for healthcare purposes. Some hospitals have already adopted indoor navigation systems. Such systems are autonomous and cut hospital staff’s navigation and coordination costs.

Bluetooth-based iBeacons are at the heart of these systems, providing real-time, turn-by-turn directions and contextual notifications based on a person’s location.

게다가, smart healthcare also uses positioning systems for patient tracking, equipment locating, 및 비상 대응.

Environmental Monitoring and Control

일반적으로, healthcare facilities use manual intervention to control the hospital environment. The adoption of IoT sensors enables them to get precise, real-time data on environmental parameters, including air quality, 온도, 습기, and infection control parameters.

In addition to gathering environmental data, monitoring systems can also automatically adjust conditions to meet specified safety and health standards.
