In todayās episode, we explore the evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), with a focus on its healthcare applicationsāIoHT (Internet of Health Things) and MIoT (Medical Internet of Things). These technologies are reshaping healthcare, personal safety, and connected care. The MIoT market is projected to grow from $93 billion in 2025 to $134 billion by 2029, while the smart hospital market may reach $148 billion. With 2.2 to 3.3 million connected medical devices already in use globally, the impact on patient monitoring, operational efficiency, and health equity is significant. While macro trends are important, weāll also highlight specific technologies making a difference every day.
In past episodes, weāve talked about challenges associated with an aging population and in todayās episode weāll dial in and look to connect the dots with connected devices that are focused on sending medical alerts. As a quick highlight, 1 in 4 adults over 65 fall each year, which is a significant number considering that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults age 65 and older. The Golden Hour is the critical first 60 minutes following an emergency event, when receiving treatment is believed to offer the greatest chances of survival.
Here to talk about all of this and more is Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark. ā LogicMarkā provides a comprehensive platform of technology products and services that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). It provides technology products and services in healthcare communications and personal safety applications and services.
Listen in with us as we discuss best practices for future-ready home health and the importance of inter-connected devices.
Other insights range from how AI and ML are helping to transition from more reactive responses to more predictive responses with health-tech, to an introduction for the concept of ācare villagesā and how āconnected data and devicesā will start to virtually emulate the historical practices of multi-generational housing, to why game theory is emerging as a strategy in healthcare to balance between the various stakeholders and create winning scenarios as well as the best outcomes for patients.
