At a time when data is becoming the new currency, the healthcare industry is ideally placed to utilize the ever-increasing amounts of data in the current IoT landscape. Solution providers can use these vast volumes of data to create personalized healthcare plan, preventing the spread of critical illnesses. Providers can offer solutions that leverage IoT devices and sensors, like smartwatches and fitness trackers, helping users stay healthy and be used as ways to alert doctors and hospitals when the patients require medical attention.
