Internet of things in Healthcare: applications, benefits, and challenges

The healthcare industry is in a state of great despair. Healthcare services are costlier than ever, the global population is ageing and the number of chronic diseases is on a rise.

What we are approaching is a world where basic healthcare would become out of reach to most people, a large section of society would go unproductive owing to old age and people would be more prone to chronic disease.

Isn’t it the end of the world we suspected? Whatever, IoT app development is at your rescue.

While technology can’t stop the population from ageing or eradicate chronic diseases at once, it can at least make healthcare easier by equipping the users with pocket friendly medical facilities.

Medical diagnostic consumes a large part of hospital bills. Technology can move the routines of medical checks from a hospital (hospital-centric) to the patient’s home (home-centric).
