By Sundar Balasubramanian, Managing Director, India and SAARC, Check Point Software Technologies

The Internet of Medical Things, IoMT has revolutionized the healthcare industry. In fact the healthcare market in India is expected to reach US$ 372 billion by 2022, driven by rising income, better health awareness, lifestyle diseases and increasing access to insurance. By connecting medical devices, sensors, and other equipment to the internet, hospitals can improve patient care, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. The possibilities for IoMT are really endless. We see that hospital beds are getting “connected”. Think of systems that monitor medication dispensers, and heart and medical alerts — just to name a few. Even things like blood oxygen saturation can be monitored through IoMT, helping doctors to reduce and prevent distress. All of these IoT use cases aim for quick patient recovery or to keep patients comfortable.
