Retail medicine in an era of IoT and medical errors in the age of ubiquitous connectivity

Abstract

Digital diffusion in healthcare is poised to usher delivery of care in integration with software as a service to the edge. Time compression due to the latter may catalyze the convergence between "sense and response" in a manner which may enhance quality of service (QoS) or quality of care at the point of contact (PoC). Digital transformation is likely to influence the broad spectrum of instances ranging from high acuity patients to preventive care scenarios. Access to healthcare for individuals before they become patients may eventually lead to improved health and reduced healthcare cost.
