What Types of IoMT Devices are Used in Cancer Care?
Several IoMT devices are particularly useful in the management and treatment of cancer, including:
1. Wearable Devices: These include smartwatches, fitness trackers, and biosensors that monitor vital signs, physical activity, and other health metrics.
2. Implantable Devices: Devices such as implantable sensors and drug delivery systems can provide continuous monitoring and targeted treatment.
3. Remote Monitoring Systems: These systems enable healthcare providers to monitor patients remotely, capturing data such as blood pressure, glucose levels, and other critical health indicators.
4. Smart Infusion Pumps: These devices can deliver chemotherapy drugs at precise dosages and times, reducing the risk of medication errors.
5. Telemedicine Platforms: While not a device per se, telemedicine platforms integrate with IoMT devices to provide virtual consultations, making cancer care more accessible.
