Market Driver - Growth of IoT applications in healthcare sector
Healthcare sector globally has witnessed tremendous transformation with advent of digital technologies. Internet of Things or IoT has emerged as one of the most promising technologies that find wide array applications from remote patient monitoring to management of medical equipment and supplies. With growing focus on reducing costs and improving efficiency, healthcare organizations are increasingly leveraging IoT solutions to automate various processes.
RFID enabled smart cabinets is one such IoT application that has caught the fancy of many hospitals and clinics. RFID tags attached to medical items such as drugs, equipment or supplies can be easily tracked when stored in these smart cabinets equipped with RFID readers. This helps manage inventory in much more efficient manner and ensures critical items are always available when needed. The cabinet software integrated with hospital management system provides real-time visibility of stock levels and automates replenishment orders. Furthermore, features like automated check-in/check-out of items helps streamline workflows of nurses and doctors.
There has been rise in adoption of such smart cabinets due to their ability to rationalize storage space, minimize misplacements and optimize inventory cost. Recent studies showed significant return on investments for hospitals that deployed RFID enabled smart cabinets for management of high-value drugs and implants. Major healthcare providers are standardizing on these cabinets across all departments and sites to attain uniformity and centralized monitoring. Suppliers are also aggressively marketing these as part of their overall hospital automation portfolio.
Governments around the world are actively promoting digitalization of healthcare through initiatives and funding. IoT are being deployed for improving operations and clinical outcomes. For instance, in August 2023, Schneider Electric, a company specializing in energy management and digital automation, introduced an IoT-powered solution developed by EcoStruxure for healthcare. This initiative aims to strengthen the resilience of India's healthcare ecosystem.
