Our health is primarily driven by what we eat, while our hospitals operate on the model where sick people are treated but nothing is done to prevent people getting sick. Over last few years, I’ve been working on educating IoT ecosystems in healthcare along with many other verticals, but healthcare has stood out as the most promising sector when we look at our future generations and overall contribution to any country’s GDP. Having spoken to many hospital administrators and spoken, I feel the future is bright and there should be step wise approach to reap benefits of IoT or (IoMT) deployment to ensure the quality care and not the quantity scare 😊.
I feel by 2030 the healthcare transformation would be significantly impacted with the rise of reliable & affordable intelligent devices and COVID-19 has taught us that hospital handling capacities cannot handle the way we eat or live in an environment either undernourished ones or hyper scaled fast moving life styled ones.
Though the list of use cases grows day by day, but here are the most commercial ones that are used in some or the other parts of the world or are under advance stages of their trials and further classified into deep tech & shallow tech.
If you are keen to understand any of these please do write to me and if you happen to be in Dubai for ArabHealth 2024 and I’d be happy to meet you at (https://www.arabhealthonline.com/)

Honestly, this is our usual reactive approach towards any situations, what I feel is necessary that more often more emphasis should be given in school with respect to healthy lifestyle to avoid falling in any of the above situation.
