Med tech to spark Internet-of-Things revolution

The Internet of Things--the physical devices that are connected to the internet--is catching on not only in the tech world but also in the healthcare industry. With so many wearable medical devices able to transmit data wirelessly, from glucometers to heart rate monitors, med tech may be leading the IoT revolution. Software developers are now looking to make more applications for these devices, as well as amp up capabilities in making them "talk": a way to remind a patient to check her blood pressure, or take his medication on time. And some medical devices are even leading the way with connecting the IoT to cloud technology, as some companies now offer a cloud-based platform for the transfer, storage and display of clinical data. Story
