Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g3l8k5/connected_health) has announced the addition of the "Connected Health: Mobilizing the Power of IoT (TechVision)" report to their offering.

Availability of information is one of the major challenges that exists in healthcare system due to lack of technology infrastructure and connectivity. With a distributed network architecture, information is scattered across several repositories, however it fails to integrate these repositories to provide valuable insights in critical situations.

This generates the need for a connected architecture which could seamlessly communicate among distributed data sources and provide real-time information when required. The present applications in healthcare sector are focused towards providing specific solutions.

Interoperability of devices will enable medical professionals to access critical information from any place using any kind of devices such as desktop, mobile or tablet, thereby improving flexibility. In addition, infrastructure cost for deployment of separate information system and devices for communication incurs huge cost for the organizations.

The Internet of things (IoT) is a concept that has emerged from a vision of an always connected world. Seamless connectivity between devices anywhere, anytime, in any condition is the goal behind the concept of IoT. This research service explores the impact of Internet of Things in Healthcare sector. The report also highlights the key enabling technologies and their convergence prospect to envision the future connected healthcare systems and applications.
