Smart healthcare: IoT opening up new possibilities for industry

IoT technology is undoubtedly a transformative approach for the healthcare industry even though there are challenges and concerns that need to be resolved to further drive its mass adoption and reap its maximum benefits.

When it comes to the healthcare industry, the Internet of Things, or IoT, has opened a myriad of possibilities to improve accessibility, safety, and affordability of services through better analytics and techniques. The emerging technology holds the power to address various challenges the healthcare industry is facing today- from rising healthcare costs and increasingly aging population to care management- and redefine the way healthcare is delivered.

VisionRI's Centre of Excellence on Emerging Development Perspectives (COE-EDP) aims to keep track of the transition trajectory of global development and works towards conceptualization, development, and mainstreaming of innovative developmental approaches, frameworks, and practices.
