 M2M (Machine-to-Machine) - technology that supports wired or
wireless communication between machines or devices
 IOT (Internet of Things) - the interconnection of physical devices (and
humans?) to an information infrastructure
 eHealth - the use of information and communication technologies
(ICT) for the delivery of health services and information
 Telemedicine / Telehealth - the use ICT of for the delivery of health
services and information over a distance
 mHealth (mobile health) – telemedicine solutions and services using
mobile (=wireless) devices or technologies
 IOT in Healthcare - telemedicine where data is transmitted via IOT
network. Very often associated with mHealth

The Benefits of Health IOT
9
 Doctors are scarce and their time is valuable
 Telemedicine allows doctors to see more patients within given time
 Health IOT systems can track patient’s location and conditions
 Monitoring can automatically alert a caregiver when necessary
 Portable, wearable and even implantable sensors can monitor vital
signs and provide the data to healthcare providers
 Real-time information can mean the difference between life and
death in many situations
 Telemedicine helps reduce the high costs of serious diseases and
improve quality of life
 Self monitoring contributes to increased awareness and compliance
