IoT in Health Care

1. IOT in HealthCare

2. What is iot?
The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical
devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items
embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
actuators, and connectivity which enables these
things to connect, collect and exchange data

3. One of the most fascinating areas in IoT
medicine is the open source initiative
OpenAPS, which stands for open artificial
pancreas system.
A project by Dana Lewis

4. Openaps system prototype

5. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a method to track
glucose levels throughout the day and night.
 A small, reusable transmitter connects to the sensor wire and
sends real-time readings wirelessly to a receiver, so the user
can view the information.
 Glucose readings every 5 minutes

7. Activity trackers during cancer treatment
 Patients will wear an activity tracker for up to a week prior to
treatment and then continuously for several months over the
course of multiple treatments.The trackers will assist in
logging activity level and fatigue, with appetite also being
logged directly, and all data saved to Medidata’s Patient
Cloud ePRO app on their personal smart phones.

9. Smart inhalers
 Also known as connected Inhalers.
 Uses Bluetooth to detect inhaler use.
 Remind patients when to take their medication and gather data to help guide care.

11. Connected Contact lenses
 The lenses may eventually be able to measure glucose levels
of diabetes patients via their tears and then store the
information in a mobile device.
 Sends information about the users health to their smartphone
and stores data into database
 Turns your eye into a camera

13. depression-fighting apple watch app
 Apple Watch used in the fight against depression. The Apple
Watch is being used to monitor patients with depression
thanks to a specially designed app developed in Cambridge.
 Over 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression.
 An app named “Pacifica” tracks your mood and feelings over
time.
 Apple watch comes with a built in meditation app called
“Breathe”.

15. Challenges in iot in healthcare
 Device management.
 Technical malfunction.
 Data security .
 Active monitoring.
 Database management.
