The paper considers the problems consider the problems of enterprises digitalization. Based on the research of the scientific literature, it is established that enterprises in the modern world need the active introduction of information and digital technologies to ensure the competitiveness of production and active development in the future. The analysis and assessment of the use and development of communication and information technologies by domestic enterprises is carried out. According to its results, it is established that the main areas of information and communication technologies implementation in domestic enterprises are cloud computing services, sources of "big data" for the analysis of "big data", 3D printing, external links to the Internet, own websites and electronic trade via the Internet, etc. It is determined that due to the rather intensive growth of the number of enterprises in the information and communication industry, the use of their developments in production is rather insignificant. Only 5% of enterprises during the study period used all the above information technologies in their activities. Based on the analysis, the problem areas of the process of implementation and development of communication and information technologies at domestic enterprises are identified and recommendations for improving the efficiency of information and communication technologies are provided. The MatLab Statistic Toolbox built into MatLab is used to determine the trends of the impact of digital innovations and the number of information and communication enterprises on GDP.

As the life expectancy of individuals increases with recent advancements in medicine and quality of living, it is important to monitor the health of patients and healthy individuals on a daily basis. This is not possible with the current health care system in North America, and thus there is a need for wireless devices that can be used from home. These devices are called biomedical wearables, and they have become popular in the last decade. There are several reasons for that, but the main ones are: expensive health care, longer wait times, and an increase in public awareness about improving quality of life. With this, it is vital for anyone working on wearables to have an overall understanding of how they function, how they were designed, their significance, and what factors were considered when the hardware was designed. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the hardware components that are required to design wearable devices that are used in the emerging context of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This means that they can be used, to an extent, for disease monitoring through biosignal capture. In particular, this review study covers the basic components that are required for the front-end of any biomedical wearable, and the limitations that these wearable devices have. Furthermore, there is a discussion of the opportunities that they create, and the direction that the wearable industry is heading in.

The health sector is currently experiencing a significant paradigm shift. The growing number of elderly people in several countries along with the need to reduce the healthcare cost result in a big need for intelligent devices that can monitor and diagnose the well-being of individuals in their daily life and provide necessary alarms. In this context, wearable computing technologies are gaining importance as edge devices for the Internet of Medical Things. Their enabling technologies are mainly related to biological sensors, computation in low-power processors, and communication technologies. Recently, energy harvesting techniques and circuits have been proposed to extend the operating time of wearable devices and to improve usability aspects. This survey paper aims at providing an overview of technologies, techniques, and algorithms for wearable devices in the context of the Internet of Medical Things. It also surveys the various transformation techniques used to implement those algorithms using fog computing and IoT devices.


From Bluetooth enabled hearing aids to robotic caretakers, wearable and smart devices industries are immensely contributing to the development of the healthcare industry with the help of Internet of Things (IoT). Latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Big data, Machine Learning, Advanced Sensors, Mobile Applications and other technologies will continue to generate lot of opportunities for Medtech organizations. Some of the latest healthcare innovations practiced at present might have been seen or read by some of us only in science fiction movies or science fiction stories a long ago. Presently, IoT and Artificial Intelligence is creating a revolution in healthcare industry when it comes to diagnosis and treatment of varied diseases. From smartphones to robots, artificial intelligence is already making its presence felt in healthcare industry and as such it is progressively recognizing the transformative nature of IoT technologies which drives innovation in the development of connected medical devices. Gradual increase in the number of connected medical devices with the advent of technology advancements helps to capture and transmit medical related data wherever and whenever required to the concerned people and thus, it gave birth to the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), where the Internet of Things (IoT) and healthcare meet. The IoMT helps to constantly monitor and alter (if required) the behvaiour of the patient and his/her health status in real time and also supports healthcare organizations to effectively streamline clinical processes, patient information and related work flows to enhance its operational productivity. The IoMT has made and continues to make the delivery of P4 Medicine (Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory) even for remote locations with the help of connected sensors and devices helping in real-time patient care. IoMT helps doctors and caregivers to provide patient care and support by constantly monitoring data related to patients through mobile apps and connected medical devices even when patient(s) or doctor(s) are located at remote locations. This research paper discusses about six use cases explaining how IoMT is applied in healthcare industry.
