Creating Medical Devices for IoMT - The Internet of Medical Things

A cloud-connected medical device can bring huge values to the entire eco-system, from patients to doctors to clinics, hospitals, health insurers and others. These emerging devices now have their own buzzword: The Internet of Medical Things.

It starts with immediate values such as tele-medicine, remote updates & monitoring of the medical device, and massive cost reductions. Then, using the collected (anonymized) data, big-data-oriented medical research is enabled with the goal of finding new correlations and other statistical insights that will lead to more efficient drug development processes, including personalized medicine.

But designing a system of medical devices and an IoT Cloud presents a huge challenge because of wide range of disciplines involved, with ever more tight regulation compliancy requirements for each of the disciplines.

So where to start the journey to IoMT? In this talk I'll discuss the why, why not, and how to do it right.
