Internet of Things

• Medical IoT devices can facilitate the remote monitoring of vulnerable patients in rural areas and developing countries.
• At the University of Arizona, a research team led by Professor Philipp Gutruf is developing flexible and non-invasive LoRa (from “long range”) devices, which enable data to be transmitted over long distances using low-power technologies.
• With the capacity to precisely record clinical signals while providing patients with greater autonomy, the new devices could revolutionize the remote monitoring of chronic illness.
