10 IoT Innovations In Health Care

IBM

IBM's Watson IoT platform in Bluemix can securely transmit data from heart-monitoring devices to an on-premise health-care system.

Through this solution, patients can track heart-monitoring data, which is then transmitted to the Bluemix Secure Gateway service to connect to the IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack. Finally, the bus transforms these messages and stores them in an enterprise data repository.

Over the years, IBM has also inked various partnerships to bolster its IoT health segment, including a partnership with Medtronic to create IoT-enabled medical devices; as well as a partnership with Apple to integrate Watson into ResearchKit and HealthKit, enabling the collection of personal data for use in clinical trials.
