The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to revolutionize the healthcare sector, particularly in remote areas, by enhancing network connectivity to address the existing challenges. IoT is turning these systems into efficient, integrated, and patient-focused networks. With improved network reliability, solution and service providers are partnering with governments to transform current healthcare systems into comprehensive wellness platforms, aiming to reduce healthcare costs through holistic approaches. While technology cannot replace doctors, IoT-enabled healthcare equipment with cloud connectivity empowers medical professionals to store and access patient data, especially in remote and underserved regions. Leading players in the healthcare IoT market are committed to developing innovative remote clinical monitoring systems and clinical communication platforms for both in-home and outpatient remote monitoring.
Advancements Fueling Smart Healthcare
Major advancements in mobile data connectivity, portable devices, sensor technology, application development, cloud computing, and big data analytics have positioned smart healthcare as a promising solution to rising per capita healthcare expenses. Local companies are making significant investments to enhance smart sensing healthcare through continuous research and development in information and communication technology, broadband data connectivity, e-location technology, and data management technology. These advancements are expected to substantially expand the healthcare IoT market in the coming years.
Surge in Adoption During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The implementation of smart healthcare infrastructure using IoT is rapidly increasing amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Globally, hospitals, contract research organizations (CROs), rehabilitation centers, and residential end-users are adopting healthcare IoT. The crisis has highlighted the need for efficient clinical communication and collaboration tools to ensure swift diagnostics and quarantine measures. Consequently, there has been a notable rise in the deployment of remote patient monitoring solutions and services, particularly in developing countries such as India, Spain, Italy, and Brazil.
Enhanced Market Appeal Through Assembled Deployment
The wearable devices market is experiencing significant growth, creating opportunities for the integration of IoT sensors in healthcare. This integration aims to develop smarter wearable devices for patient monitoring and diagnostics. Additionally, the integration of connectivity platforms such as Bluetooth, RFID, ZigBee, and HomeRF links IoT sensors in healthcare to household and workplace networks. This increases the number of IoT sensors in healthcare systems and extends the reach of remote access. A well-managed IoT solution and service provider can adopt a holistic approach to healthcare institutions, including device management, connectivity, network management, deployment, and logistics processes, presenting lucrative growth opportunities in the healthcare IoT market.
Government Initiatives Boost Market Expansion
Cloud computing in healthcare helps reduce costs while maintaining service quality. Various global reforms aim to lower costs and improve healthcare quality. Initiatives by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and the European Commission's eHealth Action Plan focus on equipping patients and healthcare workers with modern IoT devices and technologies to promote personalized medicine. With the rise in government programs encouraging the use of healthcare IoT, the market for healthcare cloud computing is expected to grow rapidly.
Regional Outlook of the Healthcare IoT Market
North America and Europe dominate the healthcare IoT market, driven by increased investments from healthcare IoT companies. These investments focus on accelerating the enhancement of smart sensing healthcare through continuous developments in information and communication technology, broadband data connectivity, and e-location technology. However, the healthcare IoT market in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow significantly due to the increased adoption of wearable devices such as smartwatches, augmented reality glasses, and fitness bands in the healthcare sector.
