IoT technologies drive innovation and efficiency in healthcare. According to a recent IoT Signals report, 89% of healthcare organizations have at least one IoT project that has reached the “use” stage. By leveraging the power of Windows IoT, health systems can seamlessly connect medical devices to the cloud, as well as quickly create, scale and deploy IoT solutions on a trusted operating system. Plus, advanced security controls protect those devices – and sensitive patient data – from the edge to the cloud. Join experts from Advantech and Microsoft to learn more about how Advantech supports healthcare organizations in using Windows IoT to improve both business and patient outcomes.

Many health systems of all types and sizes are expanding their use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and harnessing the data from those devices to increase efficiency and improve patient outcomes. However, these new devices are vulnerable to cyberattack, creating a much greater attack surface for the organizations that use them. That’s why it’s vital for providers to work with vendor partners like Advantech who can help provide a secure framework to support IoT use. As a Microsoft Windows IoT Distributor and Cloud Services Provider (CSP), Advantech can help healthcare organizations implement the best combination of custom and off-the-shelf hardware with Windows software to protect their individual IoT ecosystem from the edge to the cloud.
Fueled by demographic and reimbursement shifts, healthcare organizations need to have a clear vision of the goals of their telehealth infrastructure as they look to grow. A successful telehealth system must be available where care happens and must have flexible components that easily integrate with existing technology, all while maintaining proper patient data security. Security and HIPAA compliance can be difficult with the rise of healthcare apps and providers utilizing their own devices. In order to prepare themselves for this projected growth, telehealth systems need to be scalable to accommodate an increasing amount of data and technologic components.
