IoT and Medical Devices: Applications, Benefits & Solutions

Hospitals cannot tolerate device operational inefficiencies or interruptions. Medical devices based on IoT technology allow to drastically reduce malfunctions, downtimes and maintenance costs at the same time. Therefore, hospitals can get tangible benefits from IoT-based devices, increasing the demand for those technologies.

Remote Monitoring & Predicitive Maintenance

For medical-device manufacturers, the IoT is therefore an opportunity to expand their offer and increase revenues, providing high added-value services together with the physical product, such as predictive maintenance and remote monitoring.

Following the predictive maintenance approach, maintenance is not carried out following a defined time frame (preventive maintenance) but it is accomplished according to the technical data collected from the medical devices. By scanning this data through real-time remote monitoring, medical-device manufacturers can diagnose even small changes in the device operations and take action before failures occur.
