Internet of Things (IoT) in Healthcare

By 2020, it is estimated that there will be 21 billion connected devices in the world. That will be five times as many as just four years ago. This fact affects healthcare as much as any industry. Internet of Things (IoT) in Healthcare tracks the trends around IoT in healthcare and makes specific market estimates and forecasts.

The industry adoption of technology in healthcare is driven by an increase in government mandates, staffing shortages, improving clinical outcomes, and increasing pressures on healthcare functions. The continued adoption of Internet-related equipment, devices, and services in the health industry is expected to drive the market to reach nearly $200 billion by 2024. The growing availability of services and vendors will increase access to complex systems and provide more options directly focused on meeting the demands of the health industry. The rise of the IoT is producing some exciting advancements and demand is expected to grow exponentially in the next five years.

This report covers the following segments:
