To keep up with the IoT trend, doctors and healthcare systems must allow patients to take a more active role in collecting their own health data; to that end, electronic health data must become more accessible for patients and their devices. Patients fill out a survey about their current state of their health, select the health records they want to share and send the snapshot to their doctor from the comfort of their home. The arrival of the IoT wearables gives patients the ability to collect their own health data more than ever before, and a system must be developed that allows this information to be available to both the patient and the clinician. In order to make these devices work well, we need to ensure they are secure, reliable, affordable, easy to use, and reliable. This solution could save doctors time, as it will reduce the number of unnecessary appointments, and the doctor will know the problem before the patient has entered the room.
