The IoT is a system of wireless, interrelated, and connected digital devices that can collect, send and store data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. For example, in the healthcare industry, IoT allows a range of medical devices to be connected to a server, allowing patients to monitor their health and connect to their healthcare providers remotely. IoT can also be used in R&D, clinical trials, supply chains, and manufacturing.
