The revolution in wearable IoT devices is driving a huge change:

Medical care delivery and feedback

The two primary benefits of IoT in healthcare are largely found in the reductin of errors and in driving improved efficiency. But is often overlooked that the revolution in personal wearable devices that measure health informaton in real time - could deliver enourmous gains in terms of in field health research

One of the most successful IoT devices in the past decade has been the smart watch. Millions of amateur athletes, mums and dads are tracking their heart rate and activity levels 24 hours per day. The wealth of information being generated in these "unstructured field trials" has enoumous potential to reduce mortality rates and allow Governments to much more accurately manage health spending and efficiency in the future.

Key to success in utilising such health care data is to ensure adequate security and anonymisation of information.
