If you fall off your bike, Alexa can ship a first aid kit to your door within one business day. During an emergency, Siri can even dial 911 for you if you can\u2019t reach your phone. Telehealth and IoMT (Internet of Medical take this emerging technology to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s incredible how\nfar IoT has come, but a virtual assistant will never provide lifesaving medical\ncare during a crisis or identify a critical diagnosis based on a description of\nyour symptoms (sorry, WebMD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Internet of\nMedical Things (IoMT) is defined by Forbes as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does this\nmatter? The World Health Organization predicts a shortfall of 18 million health\nworkers by 2030, primarily in low- and lower-middle-income countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology solutions can enable knowledge sharing and remote collaboration with experienced medical specialists whose expertise would otherwise be out of reach.

IoMT tools typically\nconnect to a system that includes a web platform and mobile app for patients\nand doctors to use. Systems like these in the telehealth space are transforming\nhow doctors treat patients and how we care for ourselves and our loved ones.\nHere are just a few ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cutting-edge\nconnected medical tools can empower medical experts, healthcare providers, and\nhospitals to save more lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An Allied Market\nResearch report identified 5 types of end-users IoMT technology can\nbenefit the most:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a public health perspective, this powerful new application of IoMT can foster healthier, more accessible, and safer communities for everyone who lives in them

10Pearls helped a leading healthcare organization to develop one of the first end-to-end digital telehealth platforms. The product remains one of the most prominent and trusted in the industry to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our healthcare\nclient wanted to create a safe and secure digital environment that connects\nspecialist physicians with both doctors who work in hospitals or clinics and\ntheir patients. Desired outcomes for the project included reducing time to\ndiagnosis at a lower cost while improving prognoses for critical health\nconditions. Notable aspects are highlighted below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this platform\nmodernization, our team harnessed the power of emerging technology to\ndevelop mission-critical software that is fully secure and compliant with\nindustry regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Providing access to\na higher volume of more accurate and specific health data enables doctors to\nplan and implement more effective treatment plans and improve the quality of\ncare patients receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benefits of\nsecure telehealth platforms connected to smart medical devices range from\npatient monitoring and wellness assessments to optimizing clinical operation\nand workflows, pharmaceutical research, and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the enterprise\nlevel, telehealth is revolutionizing the entire patient\nexperience for hospitals and medical providers. Paired systems of robust\nweb platforms and portable, user-friendly mobile apps can revolutionize the\nhealthcare experience patients receive when healthcare organizations modernize,\ninnovate, or go digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
