Patrick Leyseele - Health and IoT

The impact of IoT on the Health sector can be divided into three main areas:

1.- The application of sensors and actuators in the human body for the prevention, improvement or cure of diseases

In the field of health, tools must be created that allow the individual to become his own doctor. And, before arriving there, that, at least, it is not necessary the physical presence of a doctor or go to a hospital or consultation to be able to take measures against diseases such as coronary diseases

The most important thing is to take measures of health-related parameters, so that actions can be carried out that prevent the body malfunctions in a preventive or corrective way.

The immense amount of data collected by this type of initiatives can allow, with the use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence technologies, to develop increasingly customized and increasingly successful solutions for disease prevention and cure.

Additionally, the individual can apply healthy lifestyle habits that he knows, because of the results that emerge from the experience of other users, they can improve or avoid a disease.

“If we really want to transform the health care system, we need to excite the greatest number of people with self-monitoring of their health and, ultimately, to become the administrators of their own health.”

This is an especially valuable solution for the underdeveloped countries of the world where people cannot pay regular visits to hospitals and, most likely, have smartphones. And governments, in turn, have the ability to see how the population is in terms of health, accumulating massive statistics.

In summary, the smart hospital of the future will look very different from the hospitals of today and the past.
