69 step further by envisioning healthcare wherein IoT sensors are no longer external by dispersed within the body : “ They would be able to track everything from glucose to oxygen to temperature . With the broader adoption of IoT devices , daily health measurements will generate vast amounts of biometric readings and , naturally , we will require more advanced machine learning ( ML ) algorithms to make sense of this data .”
Although this concept might still lie in the health services ’ future , it is an interesting vista onto the possibilities being opened by IoT . With data harvested from unique locations and analysed using state-of-the-art AI and ML software , clinicians and doctors will be able to identify emerging health patterns faster and with greater accuracy . The results can then be presented to the patient and reviewed regularly , allowing for truly comprehensive healthcare cover .
