2. Healthcare management (HC) is becoming a
major economic issue worldwide, with national
HC expenditures reaching to 17.8% as a share of
GDP growing at 5.8% year of year in 2015

3. Digitization of Healthcare
• Transforming HC digitally and complementing
it with IOT can greatly help address the issues
• With digital transformation, we can build a
wide range of apps on top of IOT to meet real
needs of the patients, nurses, doctors, staff,
and families in a hospital or home

4. Healthcare as worldwide issue
IOT can help, assist, and augment the existing
systems or create new ways to make sure the
patient gets the best care, and the job of nurses,
doctors, and staff becomes easier, efficient,
economic, and safer.

5. Agenda
• Range of use cases that can be realized
through the application of IoT
• Applications of use cases for next-gen medical
devices

6. “There is an opportunity to build
apps on top of the IOT to meet real
needs”
- Rob van Kranenburg
Internet of Things Council
“IOT is not a technology or
cost issue; it’s a use-case
issue”
- Vlad Trifa, EVRYTHNG
“Trying to determine the market size of the IOT
is like trying to calculate the market for plastics,
circa 1940. At that time, it was difficult to
imagine that plastics could be in everything.”
- Michael Nelson, Professor of Communication, Culture &
Technology , at Georgetown University

7. Healthcare Opportunity
1. Opportunity: 40% in developing and 60% in the
developed countries
2. 2X more value from B2B than consumer
3. Interoperability is required to capture 40% of
the value
4. <1% data is used, more can be used for
optimization or prediction

8. Healthcare Opportunity Size

Healthcare: $170B-$1.6T estimate

9. Healthcare Use Case
• Improve wellness, monitoring and managing illness
• Remote diagnosis/assistance/continuous monitoring
• Hospital/Memory care patient monitoring
• Visiting hours management
• Early detection of critical signs, emergency 911 calling
• Geriatric patient support - medicine dosage/timing,
Monitoring patient fall

10. Healthcare Use Case
Manage inpatient Care
1. Monitor and track patient’s health and status
2. Identify patient’s health condition
3. Get updates on patient’s real time heath
4. Do that in the hospital, at home, or anywhere else

11. Healthcare Use Case
Manage visitors/physicians/nurses flow into the
patient’s room
1. Track patient’s health through patient’s monitor
2. Recognize physician’s and nurse’s faces
3. Understand who is going in and out and when
4. Call help when needed

12. Healthcare Use Case
Manage inpatient Care
1. Health Monitor that tracks patient’s health
2. Rapid identification of patient’s health condition
3. Provides patient real time heath update

13. Healthcare Use Case
Manage Wellness
1. Determine food nutrition value
2. Monitor level of activity, level of cardio, number of
steps, level of movement
3. Monitors length/quality of sleep
4. Direct A/V communication with the nurse/doctor

Pre-Configured/Validated/Certified
platform, OS, sensors, drivers,
audio/video/sensor edge processing,
Integrated LED Driver Logic + Comms
+ Analytics + E2E security +
Device/Asset management + Mesh
Network + Apps

19. Application of Smart LED Lighting
1. Lighting array to maintain constant lumen on
a tissue during the surgery
2. Video capture/streaming for training
3. Ability to talk to the light: voice control
4. Maintain constant/prescribed temperature,
pressure, humidity, ambient light in the OT
5. Detecting fatigue, stress

20. Opportunities for the future
1. Establish common data format
2. Ubiquitous connectivity to the Internet
3. Common HW/SW platform
4. Interoperability can capture 40% of the value
5. <1% data is used, more can be used for
optimization or prediction

21. Applications of use cases for next-
gen medical devices
1. Artificial Intelligence, Deep/Machine Learning
(AI/DL/ML) capabilities which allow the cloud to
define policies to drive the end nodes based on the
collective learning of a range of end nodes
2. The End Nodes themselves learn over time
3. Supercomputing and data analytics to understand
large datasets to understand epidemics
