Internet of Things Humans
Introduction
Big data, analytics, algorithms, the “Internet of Humans” is one of the hottest technology in the field of Data Analytics.
Sensor technology is so advance these days that we can monitor almost everything in real-time. Real-time monitoring enables real time data gathering, real-time data analysis and therefore real-time decision making. Monitoring various vital signs of the patients or even normal people in real time can give us dramatic results and can help us in saving billions of dollars which are being spend today in healthcare industries.
Human sensors can create vast streams of big data
throughout our lives, particularly when we consider matching health related
activity with human DNA. General sensors include those connected to mobile
phones while consumer applications generally focus on health and fitness apps,
as recently launched by Apple and Google. On the other end of
the spectrum, there are very sophisticated sensor devices that capture clinical
data.
In this digital economy, in near future every human
being will get connected with some sensors or gadgets which will keep
collecting their health related data (vital signs) and the next step for us
would be to start analyzing those data and help healthcare professionals in
making better decisions related to their patients and even more. Remote
monitoring with real-time data can spot patterns or areas of concern, allowing
healthcare professionals to intervene much quicker than if there was a
reporting delay. Predictive analytics also allow physicians to compare
real-time patient data from monitoring devices to medical baselines, helping
them predict which patients are likely to develop complications and need
further intervention.
