IOMT technology is developing rapidly allowing a major shift in the technology of healthcare IT. Overcoming challenges in exploring chronic diseases and tracking patients accurately and the presence of a full communication link between the patient and the doctor or health care provider have become easier and more accurate with the medical devices connected to the Internet (IOMT).

Why should Doctors care about the new innovations of the IOMT?!

Besides the huge role in facing problems and raising the level of patient satisfaction, the researches & studies cite that the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) market is set to reach $158.1 billion in 2022, according to the rise in demand of getting better quality in the lowest cost and inaccurate way which improves the patient experience.

Day after day, we see a lot of innovations stand on IoMT technology and in this blog, we will discuss 8 IoMT innovations in healthcare IT depending mainly on wearables trend as a part of IOMT technology:

Movement Detector

Life becomes easier for immobile patients with movement detectors!

Depending on the wearable technology, one of the trendiest in IoMT technology, movement detectors helps to detect the slightest of movements on the body using smart monitors or sensors which are placed on the patient bed or be in another simple way just something to wear and get a report and insights about the patient condition.

The mechanism of this device depends mainly on the Wi-Fi motion sensor which pushes alarm notification, just through the mobile phone app to master the security situation at any time or place. 

Sensors and Cameras

Have you imagined how sensors are essential for all hospitals?

Well, Sensors provide doctors & physicians with the measures of temperature, pulse, blood pressure, blood sugar, and respiratory rate which are indicators of The patient’s health status to make right and accurate medical decisions and to be connected with the patient.

According to the camera sensors in healthcare, they are another cost-effective way to detect diseases and be aware of a patient’s status. They are considered external sensors that enhance healthcare in many aspects such as

1-Eye Exam to early detect diseases such as diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration.

2-Dermatology to early detect skin diseases such as skin cancer. Also, camera sensors are essential in Medical Research, Operating theaters, and Medical lab devices. 

It’s a transformative future waiting for us in the healthcare industry!! 

Fitness Trackers & Diagnosis

Today, it’s easy to track your health activity with just wristbands equipped with sensors!

Fitness trackers are considered wearable devices that help you move and sleep better and improve overall health. They also provide health recommendations through syncing to various smartphone apps. One of the most famous wearable trackers is Fitbit Flex which aims at measuring the human’s exercise, diet, and sleep. Finally, it is considered a great choice for consumers in general, as it is distinguished by its elegance in design and the ability to track their progress throughout the day.

Thanks to IoMT technology which provides us with better health through Wearables!

Smart Continuous Glucose System & Insulin Pens

The digitization process of the healthcare systems manages the physicians and care providers to share the data and make a link between Smart Continuous Glucose System & Insulin Pens.

Nowadays millions of people in the world live with diabetes who have to control their sugar levels and determine their insulin which is required to spend almost 1 hour/day to do that, but the new technology in healthcare it depends on IoMT is easing this hassle of diabetes management and burden of this chronic disease.

Connected Inhaler Delivery

Smart Inhaler is a new technological innovation that is leading the IoMT technology, allowing to improve patient outcomes through robust and accurate flow measurement.

The Smart Inhaler now can track inhalation flow rate, flow speed, and inhaled volume with accurate metrics, that allow optimizing the delivery of healthcare services via the IoMT ecosystem. The IOMT technology also enhances medication adherence through telehealth technology which allows fully the connection between patients who suffer from chronic conditions and their doctors.

The IoMT enhances the process of improving patient Experience through easy steps.

Personal Emergency Response Systems

It’s essential to get your patients on time!

Again, IoMT technology provides help to patients on time through medical devices that are connected to the Internet or through Bluetooth technology. The wearable “devices that are connected to the internet” have the ability to determine the time in which the patient has fallen to send the right help immediately.

It’s a scalable solution depending on AI technology and Bluetooth to share real-time data for quicker help & response.

Virtual Home Systems

Virtual Home Systems are a crucial solution depending on IoMT technology. For homebound patients and patients with chronic diseases, it’s easier to keep in follow up with them. Virtual Home Systems also depend on AI technology and sharing the data remotely so the patients have a connection with the healthcare providers at their homes!

The IoMT technology addresses more facilitate to improve the level of healthcare services that are provided to the patients and enhances the accuracy of gathering data.

 Developing a Robust EHR System

It’s all about the management of your healthcare organization!!

EHR system (Electronic Health Record) is a solution to collect medical data in a seamless system that allows doctors and care providers to manage and access all medical files & reports easily. The development of these innovative solutions depends on IoMT technology for continuous data transmission. This process of collecting and sharing data can enhance the overall healthcare system. 

AS a decision-maker in a healthcare organization, you can depend on the EHR system to

·         Improve patient satisfaction.

·         Control your budget with EHR.

·         Fully and seamless management.

·         Give care providers the opportunity to be more accurate.

According to healthcare experts “Technology makes your interaction with your medical professional much more powerful and useful and puts you more in control.

 In Conclusion:

IOMT technology and its innovative solutions make the healthcare field easier for patients and physicians. No need to be regularly in the hospital, you can get medicine remotely, they also address connections and interactions to enhance the patient journey.
