Avnet promotes innovation in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to transform and develop diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare models

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a system of medical devices interconnected via a network, enabling the exchange of health data without human interaction. This enables remote patient monitoring and diagnosis, enabling sensitive monitoring of patient health and providing value-based care. As a leading global solutions provider, Avnet plays a key role in the IoMT. With its innovative products and extensive resources, Avnet provides strong support for the digital transformation of the healthcare industry, helping to further improve medical processes, optimize diagnosis and treatment models, and create a new personalized health management experience for patients.

01

The IoMT market maintains rapid growth

The global Internet of Medical Things ( IoMT) market is projected to grow from $175.61 billion in 2024 to $822.54 billion in 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3% between 2024 and 2032 (Source: Fortune Business Insights Medical Internet of Things Market Research Report) . Multiple factors and trends are driving IoMT growth in the current medical IoT market, including the growing adoption of wearable medical devices; the effective integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and IoMT; IoMT's ability to continuously enhance physician services and patient experience; and the further segmentation of the IoMT software market. Furthermore, strengthening partnerships between key players and end users, as well as the continued introduction of new technologies and products, are also key drivers of market growth.

02

IoMT architecture is more complete

At the relevant guiding policy level, the National Health Commission of China has been actively promoting the application of medical Internet of Things in smart hospitals. In its previously released "National Hospital Informatization Construction Standards and Specifications (Trial)", it clearly pointed out that in order to improve the level of hospital informatization construction, it is necessary to actively adopt the Internet of Things application architecture in data collection, patient safety, asset and material management, etc.

From an architectural design perspective, the IoMT should achieve layered decoupling of the application layer, platform layer, network layer, and terminal layer through a unified top-level design, unified network planning, and a hierarchical architecture. The platform layer is the "nerve center" of the IoMT, capable of managing, controlling, and analyzing the entire IoMT network. It also supports a variety of application scenarios in the application layer, such as infant care, vital sign monitoring, infusion monitoring, asset management, smart ICUs, and research wards.

By providing advanced sensor technology, data analysis and processing platforms, embedded technology, and system integration services, Avnet helps medical institutions and device manufacturers rapidly deploy and optimize IoMT solutions within a comprehensive application architecture. Driven by this innovation, we believe that future healthcare services will enable collaborative medical IoT operations across multiple hospitals, extending clinical medical IoT applications and services beyond hospitals, effectively establishing a complete, patient-centric closed loop of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.

03

IoMT drives medical devices

Technological innovation and improvement of diagnosis and treatment service levels

Studies have shown that with the aging population, providing in-hospital medical services will face greater challenges and pressures, and the medical industry has begun to look beyond operating rooms and hospital environments. Many patients can now receive treatment in other environments, whether in a doctor's office, health center, or even in their own home. This is especially true for patients requiring long-term care. The medical technology (MedTech) they need must be able to provide excellent reliability away from the hospital. This has promoted the further development of application models and demands such as home medical care and wearable medical devices. Designers are increasingly taking these potential needs into account when building the latest products of corresponding equipment, and the medical industry's ability to remotely monitor and treat patients will be substantially improved.

In the application areas of personal healthcare, diagnostic analysis, and rehabilitation practice, the technological development and application of IoMT are progressing rapidly. This has greatly improved the ability of medical services to detect health problems early and provide personalized and effective treatment options. As a result, the way people receive healthcare in their lives will undergo tremendous changes.

Avnet is committed to meeting the diverse needs of healthcare customers with innovative IoMT solutions, encompassing diagnostic and treatment equipment, medical imaging systems, medical devices, and health and healthcare wearables. These solutions enable healthcare institutions to use cutting-edge medical devices incorporating IoMT technology to enhance their ability to sense, analyze, and treat patients' health conditions.

In short, the development of IoMT technology is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. By combining wearable devices, big data, and intelligent medical systems, we can deliver more efficient and precise medical services, leading to healthier lives for patients. As a leader in technological innovation, Avnet will continue to explore the infinite possibilities of IoMT and contribute to building a smarter, more connected healthcare future.
