Strategic Intelligence: The Internet of Things in Healthcare (2025)
Summary
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the use of connected sensors and actuators to control and monitor the environment, the things that move within it, and the people that act within it. In healthcare, IoT devices are vital for remote patient monitoring (RPM) and decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). They also significantly contribute to predictive maintenance in supply chains and manufacturing.
