Mobile Diagnosis: Internet of Things in Russian Medicine

How pilot projects from the sphere of the Internet of Things are being implemented in Russian healthcare

The Internet of Things (IoT) in medicine is one of the fastest growing areas for the IT industry. As follows from the Meticulous Research analytical company’s report “IoT Market in Healthcare”, the next few years, the medical IoT segment will grow by 19% annually, by 2025 its global volume will reach $322,2 billion.

According to the company’s analysts, the greatest potential for IoT technologies now lies in the field of monitoring the condition of patients both at a considerable distance from the doctor and directly in the hospital. In second place in the demand category, the use of sensors for tracking the condition of medical equipment is expected. These devices should alert engineers to problems so they can be quickly repaired and patients can continue to be treated with minimal downtime.

In addition to monitoring, IoT devices will increasingly be used to solve administrative and management tasks. For example, they can be used to control and account for medicines and equipment used, experts at Meticulous Research emphasize.
