From the June 2016 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
Some medical device product companies offer a cloud-based platform that enables wireless transfer, storage and display of clinical data. This platform allows interoperability with a variety of medical devices and apps which are natively available. It generates enormous amounts of clinical data which would help the health care industry in many ways.
Personalization is key. This platform creates a personalized baseline for an individual’s health by collecting data from a number of wearable devices or sensors. It then looks for any deviations from that baseline. The user has the option to choose any device to constantly weigh an individual’s readings against their norms on a real-time basis. This function makes it much more effective in detecting any anomalies or other potential problems so it can then alert health care providers if necessary.

The Internet-of-Me is transforming the way medical devices are used for delivering personalized care. Patients will be the group that ultimately decides which devices will be adopted, so we must always remember to design these devices and tools for patients above all else. It is also remarkable that Internet- of-Me is getting much more established, with wide adoption of connected devices in the health care industry. The future is focusing more on smart medical devices and health care is adopting many such devices with an aim to improve personalized care.
