The Internet of (Medical) Things and the Healthcare Revolution (Room CC, 203AB)

The Internet of Things healthcare market is estimated to reach $136.8 billion worldwide by 2021. Today, there are 3.7 million medical devices that are connected to and monitor various parts of the body to inform healthcare decisions. These devices help to track patient behavior and activity away from healthcare facilities, a need that will only grow as the delivery of healthcare increasingly moves outside hospital walls. During this session, we will provide advice on how to successfully build clinical and biomedical engineering competencies while developing and managing medical devices and related systems in Japan and the United States.
