The Internet of Healthcare Things, IoHT in short, is a concept that describes uniquely identifiable devices connected to the Internet and able to communicate with each other, used in the medical area. These solutions enable, for example, localization and real-time information about assets. Remote or automatic management of resources is possible too. This leads not only to higher quality care and time savings, but also ensures patient safety. Thanks to the IoHT, managing medical facilities is more efficient with uninterrupted access to equipment, data and patients’ information. The most important features of most IoHT solutions are flexibility and personalization. Systems can be adapted to every facility, no matter what specialization or size. They can also be integrated with existing technologies and software, connected and modified.
Things - devices which perform certain actions such as taking measurements (glucometers and holters) or have specific functions (lamps). Importantly, retrofitting means that even older machines can be adapted to an IoHT solution.
