What is Smart Healthcare?
Smart healthcare can be defined as using mobile and electronic technology for better diagnosis of the disease, improved treatment of the patients, and enhanced quality of lives. The European Union has extended this definition further by adding “inclusion of information and data sharing between patients and health service providers.” mHealth and eHealth are thus vital components of the smart healthcare system.

IoT in Healthcare
IoT in healthcare technologies is also popularly known as IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) is one major technological innovation which has added the element of “smartness” in the healthcare industry. Along with identifying, monitoring, and informing caregivers about the patient’s vitals – it also provides the much-needed critical data to the health care providers so that issues can be identified at an early stage leading to better delivery of care services.

IoMT is particularly a boon for a burdened healthcare system. By 2025, the elderly population is expected to be close to 1.2 billion. High incidence of health issues makes healthcare solutions for the elderly a very costly affair. IoMT devices on the other hand not only help the elderly to keep a close track of their vitals like heart rate, glucose levels, and sleep patterns – but also reminds them of medications. The portable IoMT devices make it a lot easier for the aging population to conduct their routine blood and urine tests as well.
Big Data in Healthcare
As smart connected devices gain popularity, Big Data has made inroads in the smart healthcare system. According to our analysts, there has been a steady rise in the demand for M2M and M2H communications so as to categorize the large volumes of medical data. Major healthcare technologies companies like Oracle, IBM, and SAP, have already increased their big data spending on healthcare to widen their reach in nascent markets in the APAC region.
