IoT healthcare solutions have the potential to dramatically improve patient outcomes and save millions of lives with remote patient monitoring (RPM) – all while meeting the challenge of rising healthcare costs and an ageing population.

However, 82% of healthcare organisations that have so far deployed medical IoT devices have experienced cyberattacks against those products - putting patient data at risk and undermining confidence in the sector. eHealth conveys the promises and excitement of bringing e-commerce to health care or extra services for the wellbeing of employees or remote workers. 

Despite the potential benefits of electronic health records, implementation of this technology facing with barriers and restrictions, which most of are; cost constraints, technical limitations, standardization limits, attitudinal constraints-behaviour of individuals, and organizational constraints. We will discuss what is needed for the wider implementation of sustainable  e-Health with those who are leading the way.
