Explore the Wider Healthcare Practice

An IoT platform connects to the devices, records, and systems around it, so these related healthcare services cover the wider healthcare software your solution depends on.

“99% of hospitals manage IoMT devices with known exploited vulnerabilities, and 96% are tied to ransomware.” — The HIPAA Journal

Every connected device is an entry point, so secure IoT engineering puts device identity, segmentation, and encryption first, not bolted on after a breach.
The Basics

The Internet of Things, Used in Healthcare

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is the network of connected medical devices, sensors, and software that collect and act on health data. The internet of things in healthcare links these devices to applications and the cloud.

Smart Hospital

Location, Assets, and Environment

Inside the hospital, connected devices do more than monitor patients, so we build the IoT infrastructure that keeps healthcare operations running.

Location systems

Real-time location systems help healthcare providers to track equipment, staff, and patients, so teams find what they need instead of searching for it.

Asset tracking

RFID and BLE beacon tags track assets across healthcare facilities, cutting loss and improving the efficiency of healthcare operations.

Environment and rooms

Environmental monitoring and smart rooms watch temperature, air quality, and equipment status, automating alerts when something drifts out of range.
Edge and Cloud

IoT Data Pipelines, Edge, and Cloud

Thousands of devices produce a flood of IoT data, so we build the pipelines that move it reliably from device to cloud.
Ingestion at scale
Edge computing
Normalization
Managed cloud

Handle the flood

IoT platforms ingest data from many devices at once, built as streaming pipelines that scale with device count.
  • Streaming: event-driven ingestion with tools like Kafka handles real-time, batch, and full-state device data.
  • Reliability: pipelines are designed for low latency and growth, so adding devices does not break the platform.
  • Buffering: message queues absorb traffic spikes and connectivity drops, so no device reading is lost in transit.
Image slot

Process close to the device

Edge computing handles time-sensitive processing near the device, so decisions do not wait on a round trip to the cloud.
  • Edge AI: run inference at the edge for alerts that must fire immediately, independent of connectivity.
  • Filtering: process and filter data at the edge to cut noise and cost before it reaches the cloud.
  • Offline resilience: gateways keep collecting when connectivity drops, then sync to the cloud once the network returns.
Image slot

One common format

Device data arrives in many formats, so we normalize it to FHIR before it reaches clinical or analytics systems.
  • FHIR and HL7: map device telemetry to standards so IoT data and EHR data line up.
  • Device to EHR: route normalized device data into the EHR and electronic health records.
  • Terminology: readings map to LOINC and SNOMED codes, so clinical systems interpret every value consistently.
Image slot

Run it in the cloud

Managed cloud services carry the IoT data platform, so you scale without running the plumbing yourself.
  • AWS: AWS IoT Core and HealthLake connect devices and store health data in the cloud.
  • Azure: Azure IoT and Health Data Services provide a managed device-to-FHIR path.
  • Cost control: managed services scale with usage, so cloud spend tracks device count rather than idle capacity.
Image slot

“The average hospital now runs 10 to 15 connected medical devices per bed, reaching hundreds of thousands of IoMT devices per facility.” — HIT Consultants

Data at that scale only works on a platform built for it, so we engineer ingestion, edge, and cloud that grow with your device count rather than stalling.
AI on Device Data

AI and ML on IoT Data

Device telemetry is only useful when something acts on it, so we build AI that turns streams of IoT data into early, reliable signals.
Predictive alerts

Predictive alerts

Models watch device data for early signs of a problem, so teams act before a situation becomes critical.
Anomaly detection

Anomaly detection

Anomaly detection flags device behavior that departs from the norm, surfacing failures and safety risks quickly.
Edge AI

Edge AI

Run models at the edge so time-sensitive alerts fire on the device, without waiting on the cloud.
Operational analytics

Operational analytics

Aggregate telemetry across devices for population and operational analytics that inform how a facility runs.
Governed by design

Governed by design

Models are documented, monitored, and governed, so AI on health data stays accountable and safe.

Compliance and Security

Protecting Every Connected Device

A large device fleet is a large attack surface, so we engineer secure IoT from device identity to cloud access.
Device security
Data protection
FDA cybersecurity
Zero-trust

Trust every device

Every connected device gets a unique identity and is authenticated, so no rogue device joins the network unseen.
  • Device identity: each device is provisioned with credentials and authenticated on every connection.
  • Segmentation: network segmentation keeps a compromised device from reaching clinical systems.

Protect the data

Health data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access controlled and logged across the platform.
  • Encryption: data is encrypted end to end, from device to cloud, protecting sensitive health information both in transit and at rest.
  • Access: role-based access and audit logging govern authentication and permissions for healthcare data.

When it is a device

For device software regulated by the FDA, premarket cybersecurity requirements and an SBOM apply.
  • Section 524B: premarket cybersecurity plans meet FDA requirements for regulated device software.
  • SBOM: a software bill of materials tracks components across the device lifecycle, cross-linked to our medical device practice.

Assume nothing

A zero-trust approach verifies every device and request, so trust is never assumed by location on the network.
  • HITRUST: security controls align with HITRUST and support compliance with healthcare regulations.
  • Monitoring: vulnerabilities are monitored and patched across the device lifecycle.

How We Work

From Devices to a Live Platform

Each step builds on the one before it: integration makes data possible, data makes security testable, and security makes analytics trustworthy.
Step 1

Discovery

We map your devices, protocols, connectivity, and goals, and define whether any software qualifies as a medical device. This is where scope, architecture, and security requirements become clear, so IoT for healthcare development fits the devices it will carry.
Step 2

Device integration

We connect devices through the protocols they support, build gateways and edge where needed, and give every device an identity. Getting the integration of IoT devices right early is what keeps the rest of the platform stable as device count grows.
Step 3

Data pipeline

We build the ingestion, edge processing, and normalization that move device data to the cloud, mapping it to FHIR. This is the layer that turns raw telemetry into IoT data clinical and analytics systems can actually use.
Step 4

Security hardening

We apply device identity, segmentation, encryption, and access control, and address FDA cybersecurity where device software is regulated. Security is engineered into the architecture here, not added after the platform is live.
Step 5

Analytics and AI

With trusted data flowing, we add dashboards, reporting, and AI models for predictive alerts and anomaly detection. Insight now rests on connected, normalized device data rather than isolated feeds.
Step 6

Scale and support

We extend the platform to new devices and sites and support it over time, so IoT implementation in the healthcare setting keeps pace as your device fleet and use cases grow. The work continues past launch, because an IoT platform has to stay reliable and secure.

Cost Factors

What Drives Cost and Timeline

The cost of IoT healthcare software development depends on the devices and the depth of the platform, so it helps to know what moves the number.

Devices and connectivity

The number and type of devices, their protocols, and any hardware or sensors all shape the work. Many multi-vendor devices cost more than a single connected device.

Integration depth

Connecting devices through gateways and edge, and normalizing data to FHIR, adds engineering beyond a simple point integration.

Edge, cloud, and AI

Edge processing, a cloud data pipeline, and AI on device data each add scope. A single integration costs far less than a full IoT platform.

Security and compliance

The depth of security and any FDA cybersecurity work shape cost. A precise estimate follows a discovery phase that maps your devices and infrastructure.

Questions You May Have

What is the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)?

It is the network of connected medical devices, sensors, and software that collect, exchange, and act on health data, from wearables to connected hospital equipment. Because it carries health data and touches a medical device, IoT used in healthcare must be secure and, where applicable, meet FDA requirements.

How is IoT adoption changing healthcare?

By connecting devices to one platform, IoMT is changing healthcare delivery, so healthcare IoT devices automate routine tasks and give teams live data. Growing IoT adoption is one of the technology solutions changing how care is delivered.

What is the difference between IoMT and remote patient monitoring?

Remote patient monitoring is one use case of IoT in the healthcare setting, focused on tracking a patient’s health from home. IoT in healthcare is broader, also covering in-hospital devices, asset tracking, and the platforms that move device data to the cloud.

How do you integrate connected medical devices?

Devices are connected through the protocols they support, such as Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, or cellular, often via a gateway. The integration of IoT devices handles device identity, ingests telemetry, and normalizes formats to FHIR before forwarding data to clinical systems.

What is a smart hospital, and how does IoT in healthcare enable it?

A smart hospital uses connected devices and IoT infrastructure to automate operations alongside care, including real-time location systems, asset tracking, and environmental monitoring. Healthcare IoT devices automate tasks like finding equipment and flagging problems, improving safety and efficiency.

How is IoT data processed at scale?

IoT platforms are built as streaming pipelines that ingest data from many devices at once, process time-sensitive work at the edge, and store and analyze IoT data in managed cloud services like AWS IoT or Azure IoT. The architecture is designed for reliability and growth in device count.

How do you secure IoT and connected medical devices?

Secure IoT starts in the architecture: devices get unique identities and authentication, networks are segmented, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. For FDA-regulated device software, a software bill of materials and Section 524B premarket cybersecurity requirements apply.

How do you handle authentication and permissions for healthcare data?

Access is role-based and audit-logged, so authentication and permissions for healthcare data access are enforced per user and device. This keeps healthcare data access controlled and supports compliance with healthcare regulations like HIPAA.

What kinds of devices and wearables does IoMT cover?

IoMT covers IoT devices and wearables such as heart and glucose monitoring sensors, connected hospital equipment, infusion pumps, imaging systems, and asset tags. Iot healthcare devices are integrated so their data flows securely into the platform and, where relevant, the electronic health records.

Do you handle custom healthcare IoT solutions development end to end?

Yes. We build custom healthcare iot solutions and custom iot healthcare software development shaped around your devices, so healthcare iot solutions development and healthcare iot app development fit your systems rather than a fixed product.

How is IoT in the healthcare industry supporting providers?

IoT for healthcare applications helps healthcare organizations and helps healthcare providers to track equipment, patients, and data in real time. By providing healthcare teams with connected data, IoT implementation in the healthcare industry improves the efficiency of healthcare and supports better healthcare delivery.

How much does IoT healthcare software development cost?

Cost depends on how many and what kind of devices are involved, the connectivity, integration depth, edge and cloud needs, and how much AI and security the solution requires. A single connected-device integration costs far less than a full IoT platform, and a precise estimate follows discovery.

Is IoT software a medical device?

Sometimes. If software only collects or displays device data for general operations, it usually is not regulated, but if it interprets data or controls an iot medical device, it may qualify as Software as a Medical Device and need an FDA pathway.
