Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things and the integration of wearables and sensors to support optimization of health through self-management and remote monitoring have dramatically accelerated over the past decade. With this gaining momentum, wearable devices to measure individuals’ physiology such as heart rate and activity levels have become highly popular, increasingly pervasive, and creating a cultural shift to help people to collect, quantify, and observe their own data relating to their behaviours in day-to-day life. With the potential to change health behaviour through these platforms, the general public has the ability to be more engaged and participatory in their own health. For healthcare providers, these devices are improving patient care through continuous objective reporting, remote monitoring and precision medicine.
