The Internet of Things (IoT) is the topic of this episode with Alfred and Sina Berger. The Internet of Things (IoT) has become an integral part of many industrial sectors, but does it also have the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry?
The Internet of Things (IoT) has already become indispensable in many areas of industry, but does it also have the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry? To get a little closer to the answer to this question, Sina Berger is a guest on the current edition of "Marktplatz Gesundheitswesen". Sina is a research associate at the Winterthur Institute of Health Economics in the Healthcare Management team and works on topics such as digital health, process optimization and patient satisfaction. As part of her master's thesis, she explored the question of the extent to which patients' treatment pathways can be optimized through the targeted use of IoT. But what is actually behind the much-vaunted "buzzword" and to what extent is IoT already being used in healthcare today? This much can already be revealed: Just because a device has a sensor doesn't mean it's IoT. Listen in to this podcast episode to learn more about what IoT applications should be used in the future to optimize the patient pathway and create value for patients and staff.
