Are We Mature Enough For The Next Wave Of Internet-of-Things Transformation 

With  Internet-of-Things (IoT) dominating as far as futuristic techlogical invation is concerned and proving that it could le way as far as making an impact on society and solving societal problems are concerned, it only becomes imminent to find out from subject matter experts as to if futuristic invation could serve as catalysts to future Indian growth.  

In this regard, Rahul R of Republic World interacted with Raj Vattikuti who is Founder at Altimetrik Corporation and has been involved in Robotic Surgery Systems intensively. Vattikuti shed lights on aspects like low-cost IoT devices for use in critical healthcare processes.  

India's current level of absorption as far as digital disruption is concerned 

“In India, focus is more on business side more than techlogy when it comes to manufacturing low-cost  IoT devices to connect primary healthcare for rural India. An encouraging aspect here is fact that cost of se IoT devices has slowly been coming down,” states Vattikuti.  

He believes that techlogy-driven tools like Telemedicine would be a boon to healthcare reachability. Also, a consumer-controlled healthcare industry could be right step in case costs of healthcare (through techlogy) has to be brought down in India. This would naturally reduce dependency on pharma and insurance companies which are today in a dominant position as far as healthcare-related decisions are concerned.  

“Diagstic problems could be solved through techlogy penetration,” ds Vattikuti.  

Here, automated actions could be triggered by considering parameters such as behaviour of patients and ir response to certain situations.  This would naturally empower people to resort to smart diagsis at personal level – rar than rely on external nts even for most mir of activities.  se aspects should potentially result in a win-win situation for both patients as well as doctors.  

Robotic surgeries are only robot-assisted surgeries, involving a surgeon 

“Being a person involved deeply in robotics, I can say that robots as assistants is an effective tool resulting in intuitive aspects like better control to surgeons. patient outcome could be much better,” informs Vattikuti.  

This means that even in a futuristic scenario in India, robots would only assist surgeons during surgeries, and would t perform surgeries electronically. Hence, surgeons could also empower mselves, whilst empowering patients. 

Interfacing IoT devices and harnessing data within becomes key to create robust models for Indian healthcare. This is done through triggering automated actions.  

Transforming healthcare through techlogy 

“Primary care in rural areas is still b, low-cost technical devices could serve as a boon,”  

With IoT devices kwn to effectively help in building a patient platform, for monitoring by caregivers, future definitely looks smarter as far as transforming Indian healthcare through techlogy is concerned.
