The Internet of Health: Intelligence is the Key
Amit Garg · Samsung
We see Internet of Things (IoT) coming up in both consumer and industrial settings, offering new services and creating new business models.
We are now entering a stage where health applications are creating their own category — the Internet of Health (IoH) is here. IoH has become a catchphrase for everything from self-driving cars that detect your biometrics to tiny sensors we swallow like pills, but bottomline this category is growing fast and expected to cross $100B in value within 4 years.
The key enabler for IoH to succeed is intelligence and we will specifically talk about three trends:
- how there is an oversupply of mobile health apps and what that means for you as both a publisher and a user
- an increasing consumer appetite for purchasing devices and how they need to be not just connected but smart
- how physicians themselves are becoming more savvy about digital and are important influencers
The talk will also highlight some examples and end with some challenges to consider.
