implications for this interconnected web are
enormous. Let’s look at ive of the industries that
will be most afected by IoT.

Healthcare
Health workers and patients alike will beneit
signiicantly from the use of IoT devices and
sensors for in-person patient care as well as
remote monitoring. Hospitalized patients
who need their physiological stats constantly
monitored by physicians will now be able to be
supervised by non-invasive sensors. he data will
be continuously fed to the Cloud, where further
analysis can take place before being shared with
physicians for further review. his method not
only improves patient care but also reduces
overall costs. It will also transform remote
monitoring of patients with chronic ailments.

City Infrastructure
Cities stand to reap substantial beneits from IoT.
he interconnectivity will help cities streamline
services, save money and create new experiences
for citizens – all by connecting their existing data
and services. Data such as sensor use for traic
monitoring, video surveillance, physical access
and other systems are already in place in many
urban centers. he building of high-performance
infrastructure will also make our cities responsive
to their environment, such as predicting what
future requirements will be. An example of this Connect your team to the potential of the future with FreePBX, the world’s most
