IoMT is the Internet-connected medical devices, infrastructure hardware & digital applications used to connect healthcare IT. This is a patient-centric approach enabling patients to transfer medical data easily, helping to reduce medical visits. The current global market of IoMT is around $22 billion and is growing with a CAGR of 25%, expected around $72 billion. There are several reasons for the increase in IoMT like Increased patient engagement, Choose Home-care Act, shortage of medical staff, accurate diagnosis, remote monitoring of chronic diseases, improve drug management, and reduces the cost of care.

IoMT has not been restricted to wearable/plantable devices, but this will include implantable devices ( like smart pacemakers, smart pills) as well. One of the important questions with respect to how we integrate these IoMT devices, these are the core methods to do the same:

• SDK’s ( Software development kit)
• Protocol document / GATT profile ( General Attribute profile)
• Health Cloud API’s like Validic & health frameworks ( Apple & Google)
• IOT based ethernet boxes.

Following are the different kinds of platforms that are increasing with IoMT:

• Chronic patient management/self-care management ( smart Belts)
• Holistic wellness /corporate wellness/ gamification
• Femtech apps ( Ovulation-period tracking and fetal health tracking)
• Elderly care/ fall detection
• Screening, diagnosis, and treatment ( ECG )
• Child monitoring wearable ( smartSocks – owletcare)
• Caregivers performance tracking using Beacons
