Lack of interoperability may hamper the IoT healthcare market growth. Interoperable systems enable share & retention of data automatically, eliminating the possibility of re-entering data each time. Issues such as difficulty in integration of devices made by different manufacturers, their inability to operate on other operating systems, poses challenge to mass consumerization of IoT solutions. In order to reach mass adoption, overcoming such risks restricting boundless connections of a connected world is a primary concern to the technology providers. Other factors such as high cost of infrastructure development followed by data privacy & security issues are predicted to curb the demand.
Rising deployment of smart sensor technology in various systems enhances the capability of IoT healthcare market devices to collect more data associated with patient’s health. The gathered data is used to enhance the patient monitoring process and analyze it to discover new treatments for various other diseases. These technological solutions therefore help bridge the gap between the physical and the digital world.
The benefits such as fast scalability in meeting customer demands followed by the upgradation in privacy & security is expected to drive the telemedicine growth in the IoT healthcare market. The application allows seamless exchange of data related to patient health via a telecommunication network, being a cost-effective option. Telemedicine solutions are specially meant for areas inaccessible to doctors where devices combined with satellite communications enable easy access.
The U.S. IoT healthcare market is anticipated to hold majority of revenue share owing to the presence of highly advanced healthcare infrastructure coupled with the early adoption of sophisticated technologies. Mobile based applications offered by the technology providers has made it easier for facilities to share data with the patients. Increased spending on digital technologies by the regional government further contributes to the U.S. IoT healthcare market growth.
Players in the IoT healthcare market include Microsoft Corporation, General Electric, IBM Corporation, Honeywell International Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc, Stanley Healthcare, Qualcomm Inc., SAP SE and Medtronic Inc. Considering the potential of implementing IoT solutions in the sector, players are increasingly investing on developing infrastructure for deployment of such technological solutions.
