IOT healthcare use cases

There are three primary use cases of IoT in healthcare:

• Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) collects and manages such information as medical records or the data about doctors, patients.
• Electronic Healthcare Records System (EHR) tracks electronic records of patients’ health conditions. Such systems provide real-time information instantly and securely to authorized users.
• mHealth apps can be used in two cases — for emergency or regular treatment.

The primary function of IoMT is monitoring patients' conditions and notifying the doctor in case of an emergency. IoT in medical and healthcare fields can include a lot of things like wearable devices, drug tracking system, medical supply chain, remote patient monitoring, and more. I recommend read this guide, if you need more information about this topic.

The combination of the Internet of Things and healthcare creates several vital benefits.

• Health monitoring. There are various smart devices like smartwatches that track health conditions constantly.
• Better patient experience.
• Drug management. IoT technology allows controlling the amount of taken medicine.
• Healthcare automation. IoT devices can help automate various administrative, manual, and routine tasks.
• Preventive healthcare.

There are several ways to use the Internet of Things technology in the healthcare industry.

• HIMS collects and manages medical records or data about doctors, patients.
