In today’s healthcare ecosystem, there are millions of connected wireless medical devices powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and biosensors that monitor and deliver life-saving treatment for patients. Found in, on, or around the patient and running autonomously in real-time, these connected devices collect critical data to help the patient better understand the impact of his/her therapeutic conditions for a more proactive approach to diagnosis.
As mobile/connected health and digital therapeutics based on wireless medical devices continue to evolve, however, wearable technology innovations bring about growing challenges to enabling trust and validation. As a result, these challenges are slowing adoption in healthcare delivery and research.
The internet of medical things (IoMTs) refers to wirelessly connected medical devices placed in, around, or on the human body with a range of applications from healthcare delivery to clinical research for autonomously monitoring and generating patients’ data shared with researchers and clinicians and stored in a cloud. IoMT is the foundation for mobile health and of a connected healthcare system.
The Global Wearables and Medical IoT Interoperability & Intelligence (WAMIII) Program from the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice offers a series of free webinars and on-demand recordings. The series features a global community of multidisciplinary stakeholders to address the complex web of challenges in fully leveraging the valuable data embedded in these devices.
Through open collaboration and building consensus, WAMIII aims to develop trusted solutions to enable responsible and seamless use of connected devices for enhancing PPAN (personal patient area network) experience and outcomes. The series also provides real-world insights of these devices for clinical research, health practice, and overall wellness.
Whether you are a technologist, clinical researcher, healthcare professional, regulator, medical device manufacturer, patient advocate, or a vested stakeholder in the development or use of these devices, we invite you to take an action by hearing expert insights on the latest innovations and bringing your expertise to contribute to the much needed global solutions through WAMIII.
