Device Authority launched on Tuesday its alliance with Wipro Limited, a Bangalore-based information technology, consulting and business process services company.
Healthcare providers and organizations are increasingly offering flexible services to patients outside of hospitals and doctor surgeries. We already know that the IoT has played a significant role in uplifting the healthcare industry.
Smart medical devices are increasingly part of how specialized treatment is delivered to patients today. These devices are revolutionizing healthcare, making procedures more accessible and enabling physicians to better monitor how patients respond.
According to Deloitte, the IoMT market is expected to reach US$158 billion by 2022.
