Internet of Things
(IoT)-enabled devices have made remote monitoring in the healthcare sector
possible, unleashing the potential to keep patients safe and healthy, and
empowering physicians to deliver superlative care. It has also increased
patient engagement and satisfaction as interactions with doctors have become
easier and more efficient. Furthermore, remote monitoring of patient’s health
helps in reducing the
length of hospital
stay and prevents re-admissions. IoT
also has a
major impact on
reducing healthcare costs
significantly and improving treatment outcomes. IoT is undoubtedly transforming
the healthcare industry by redefining the space of devices
and people interaction in delivering
healthcare solutions. IoT has applications in healthcare that benefit patients,
families, physicians, hospitals and insurance
companies. The healthcare industry is rapidly
adopting new-age technologies such as
Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence to improve access and outcomes, especially in rural areas. In this
scenario, it is the responsibility of businesses to ensure
that the technology acts with
responsibility and transparency. In recent years, India has seen increased IoT
adoption in education, governance and financial services. IoT Technology has
made it possible for doctors to see and interact with patients who are located
far, with smart login devices. The patients’ medical data and case history are

Digital India is
working to transform the rural economy and create skilled jobs. It has touched
upon all aspects of our lives, from work, travel and communication to
healthcare, education and shopping. The push for e-governance and Digital India
comes from the
telecom sector, increasing internet penetration and proliferating mobile
devices. As citizens become more tech-savvy, their aspirations are expected to
surge in terms of quality of services and the way cities are governed. A shift towards
citizen-oriented governance is imminent. E-governance is changing the
relationship between citizens and authorities. Every citizen will be able to
monitor activities of government, be aware of their plans to work directly and
interact with them without queues and unnecessary bureaucracy. E-governance is
the automation of work with documents, statements of citizens, certificates,
licenses, and formal acts that legalise certain activities of citizens. The
average citizen is now familiar with digital payments, e-governance,
digitization of land records, etc. People are hoping for better utilization of
taxpayers' money. E-governance, or the use of ICT to deliver government
services, nurtures a transparent, productive and efficient form of governance.
E-government can also reduce corruption. If diligently designed and
implemented, it can improve efficiency in delivery of government services,
simplify regulations, strengthen citizen participation, and lead to
cost-savings for citizens, businesses and the government itself.
The benefits of all this will be
transparency of public authorities and local governments, savings in time and
material resources, and improvement in the quality of administrative services.
While barriers to efficient e-governance are many, social media, mobility,
analytics and cloud technologies can make all the difference. Notably, since we
live in a connected economy, the benefits of e-governance will not remain
restricted to the 100 Smart Cities, but will percolate to other urban areas and
even rural India.
That said, it's also time to take into cognizance threats
such as data security. Data is the new oil and organizations are looking to
exploit the information they hold. The
importance of
addressing cyber-security at the highest levels of corporate leadership cannot
be understated. Cyber-security is integral with national security. Here, IT
companies have a major role to play. They must set up a compliance framework
that not only protects consumer data, but also deletes it when the work is
done. It's important for them to rework their technologies and record-keeping
systems. All sectors have to train and retrain their IT teams. It's also time
the government brings in a new arsenal of talented individuals who are adept at
innovating.
