A Review of Hybrid Mode of Inpatient Care and Homecare Design Based on IoMT Technology

Abstract

IoMT has been developing fast since 2014 to support the healthcare industry around the world. This revolution will not only improve healthcare quality tremendously for both patients and givers but also advance the interrelationship between human behavior and the built environment. The United States owns the most advanced healthcare system worldwide; however, it has been facing many tough issues, such as facility limitation, healthcare insurance, and healthcare accessibility, etc. With the help of IoMT, the healthcare system is transferring from inpatient hospital-centered mode to hybrid mode (homecare and inpatient care). With this process, the healthcare system can be greatly improved, where healthcare givers and patients are supported by their health assistant devices to facilitate a healthier Ilife, sustainable environment, and good behaviors.
