3 Ways the IoT Will Change Healthcare

The Internet of Things is expanding fast, and the amount of data generated by connected devices is growing exponentially every day. While it might be impossible to comprehend just how much data is being created by the world's smartphones, sensors, and other electronics, if your work involves artificial intelligence, it's not hard to spot the opportunities on the horizon. The growing prevalence of edge devices -- essentially any device that has a direct connection to the internet -- along with the relatively recent emergence of 5G networks has created new use cases for AI that could transform entire industries. Healthcare organizations, in particular, stand to benefit from this trend convergence in a variety of exciting ways. Before exploring some of the ways these technologies could impact healthcare, let's talk about why recent advances are so compelling to AI developers.
