Next Matters Most is more than just a statement or the name of the Smashing Boxes blog—it is a reality that plays out each day in business and life.

Success demands we look to the future for value and direction. For the U.S. healthcare industry—where a fee-for-service focus has perpetuated a myriad of issues, from patient non-adherence and poor health outcomes to ever-increasing costs—this is especially true. What the healthcare industry has historically done just doesn’t work anymore, and what’s next, really does matter.

So, what is next in technology-enabled healthcare innovation and why does it matter? If you’ve kept up with our blog (and our new eBook), you know that Internet of Things (IoT) technology innovation is not only addressing issues that have long troubled the health economy but it’s also supporting the transition to an outcomes-based model of healthcare. The story is even bigger than that. Think about it. With 24/7 connectivity, personalized healthcare can now happen anytime, anywhere. Moreover, health systems and organizations have tremendous opportunities to drive better business outcomes as well as profitability.

We know you’re busy, so maybe you haven’t kept up with our latest blog posts or downloaded our new eBook. We believe what’s next in healthcare really does matter. That’s why we’ve condensed the healthcare IoT story into an easy-to-read infographic. Take a look below and learn how the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology can connect you to better outcomes for patients, providers, payers, innovators, and manufacturers.
