The IoT in Healthcare helps in delivery of healthcare facilities through improved communication, between patients and healthcare providers, via connected medical devices. IoT in Healthcare enable the stakeholders particularly, providers and patients, to enhance patient care, reduce costs related to healthcare, reduction in errors, improved patient experience, and improved patient outcomes along with better disease management. The growth of the IoT in healthcare market is attributed to the increased adoption of smart devices and wearables, need for workforce optimization, and decreasing cost of sensors. However, high cost associated with smart devices and IoT infrastructure, security and privacy concerns and varying standards and lack of interoperability are the major factor hindering the market growth.
The IoT in healthcare market is expected to witness substantial growth post-pandemic. As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, the healthcare industry is expected to see a drop in growth in many areas. The life sciences segment thrives due to increased demand for invitro diagnostic products and rising research and development activities worldwide. Additionally, virtual consultations by healthcare professionals are expected to become the mainstream care delivery model post-pandemic. With telehealth transforming care delivery, digital health will continue to thrive in coming years. In addition, disrupted clinical trials and the subsequent delay in drug launches is also expected to pave the way for entirely virtual trials in the future. Factors such as use of robots and IoT devices like smart bracelet that is worn by patients to check patients' temperatures, monitor their heart rates and sugar levels will eventually drive the market growth in forecast period.
