While the security threat from IoT is real,
it can also be combated. I work with many
hospitals that use network monitoring to
collect advanced information collection
every device connected to their network,
and they are also able to grant multiple
levels of access to different users. It’s a
process that allows you to see which device
is doing what, and where the risks are, in
real time.
Conclusion
When discussing the returns of IoT, the
results reported by organisations which

have already deployed IoT were consistently
higher than the estimations of those who
are yet to get started. Adopters of IoT
surveyed, experienced improved efficiency
(82%) and increased profitability (72%),
proving the technology’s value.
The rise of IoT in healthcare is impressive,
but the industry has only scratched the
surface of what is possible with this
technology. A mix of good technology
solutions will help the healthcare industry
maintain this momentum and continue to
push the boundaries of IoT innovation. And
really, that could be life-changing. n
