Optimizing Health Care Delivery with the Internet of Medical Things

*Rescheduled from 2020-Aug-13 due to technical difficulties. Please Join us!* The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and the concept of Digital Health, specifically, connectivity between patients, clinicians, machines and care environments, is emerging as a powerful tool in addressing some of healthcare biggest challenges. Recent advances in the development of Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) for reliable monitoring of assets, people and processes in the delivery of care have overcome many barriers to both their implementation and adoption. RTLS allows reliable and accurate monitoring and tracking of critical assets and resources and importantly makes possible the application of real time Operational Analytics to the delivery of care. Such analysis fundamentally addresses better patient outcomes and cost management by optimizing patient flow, staffing, scheduling, asset tracking, resource utilization and greater personalization of care. Additionally, real time location data used with advanced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence can generate critical insights and information about patient care delivery that previously were hidden or were difficult if not impossible to derive.
