The Internet of Things  (IoT)  has opened up a world of possibilities for the medical field: when connected to the Internet, ordinary medical devices can collect valuable additional data, provide more insight into symptoms and trends, care for enable remote access and generally give them more control over the life and treatment of patients. Some other advantages of using the Internet of Things in the field of medicine and patient care are :

• Better medication management

Countries spend a lot of money to produce and manage medicines. With the use of Internet of Things, it becomes possible to follow all the safety standards of the pharmaceutical market, and in this way, costs are significantly reduced. In addition, doctors can monitor the dosage and effectiveness of the treatment. IoT also makes it possible to send reminders to patients when taking medications. In some cases, when the patient has not taken the medicines on time, he can inform his family members about this .

• Better performance of hospitals

There are many ways to use  IoT  to optimize daily operations and reduce costs for hospitals. For example, the integration of sensors into hospital equipment enables their control and tracking, as well as temperature and humidity control in operating rooms at any time. IoT  in hospitals also  improves the healthcare system and provides patients with an easier way to communicate with doctors. This leads to the improvement of the patient's experience and his greater trust in the doctors .

• Lowering patient costs

Many devices have been developed to track your health status. These devices allow the medical staff to monitor the health of patients in a real state and in different conditions. Therefore, people do not have to visit doctors regularly. This leads to the reduction of patients' costs .

• Better disease control

By using new technologies, doctors can receive new data from their patients every day. This feature allows them to diagnose the disease earlier and start treatment faster.  IoT  healthcare software can collect data from patients and process it automatically. It also detects the precursors of the disease and prevents its progress in the early stages. In addition, in such automatic processes, fewer mistakes are made in the calculation of data, which will lead to the reduction of medical errors .

• Control of patients with chronic diseases

Many people die every year around the world due to chronic diseases such as heart diseases, diabetes, etc. Fortunately, by using the analytical capabilities  of IoT  , it is possible to provide treatment forms and personalized care for these patients. Therefore, deaths caused by these diseases can be prevented to a large extent .
