The healthcare industry has embraced the Internet of Things (IoT) and is making widespread use of sensors in a range of applications and services. One key trend is the development of connected medical devices designed to be worn by patients (or implanted in them) to communicate their biosensor-based readings to wearers, physicians, and other medical personnel via Wi-Fi, cellular, or Bluetooth communications. By analyzing vital patient data and warning about changes in their health conditions or status, connected medical devices can help reduce costs, readmissions, and provide better-quality care to patients overall.
