IoT in Health Care

Real-time Electrocardiogram Monitoring and Analysis

There is a shift in the healthcare landscape where everyone is moving toward preventive care. No one is looking at it; you got fitness and lifestyle companies focused on wellness but not focused on heart care management. While MedTech companies are focused on medical devices. So, there is a huge opportunity out there, in an age where nearly everyone is digitally connected in some way – it only makes sense that the healthcare industry is seeing a lot of connected health devices and remote patient monitoring technologies.
