How the Internet of Medical Things is transforming healthcare
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a subset of IoT that networks devices and applications used in medicine and healthcare.Here’s an overview of innovative applications already possible today thanks to IoMT.
Even before the pandemic, market observers projected IoMT to grow steeply from $61 trillion in 2019 to $261 trillion by 2027 (Reports & Data Study). No one could have predicted how much Covid-19 would actually accelerate the technological breakthrough of IoMT.
