Accenture 2017 Internet of Health Things Survey | 2
The Internet of Health Things (IoHT) is
already delivering tangible cost savings,
but continuous investment is essential.
To succeed in the digital economy,
healthcare providers and payers must
take full advantage of IoHT now to
grow their businesses in the long-term.
Connected devices using the Internet
of Health Things are beginning to
transform healthcare delivery.
By introducing more connectivity, remote monitoring
and information gathering, IoHT can encourage
better use of healthcare resources, more informed
decisions, a reduction in ineficiencies or waste and the
empowerment of health consumers.
According to estimates, the value of IoHT will top US$163
billion by 2020, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of 38.1 percent between 2015 and 20201.
Within the next five years the healthcare sector is
projected to be #1 in the top 10 industries for Internet of
Things app development2.

What is The Internet of Health Things
Internet of Health Things (IoHT) is the integration
of the physical and digital worlds through objects
with network connectivity in the healthcare industry.
IoHT transforms raw data into simple, actionable
information and communicates with other objects,
machines or people. IoHT can be leveraged to
improve access to health, quality of care, consumer
experience, and operational eficiency.
Accenture research shows healthcare executives are
all too aware of the changes IoHT is bringing to their
industry. Yet they also acknowledge that their leaders
do not yet fully understand IoHT’s potential (Figure 1).

executives say IoHT will be
disruptive within three years.

FigureInternet of Health Things
(IoHT) is a significant
budget line item.
As IT budgets grow, so do IoHT investments.IoHT: Who is investing and how much
It is not just technology departments that are investing
in IoHT. While 57 percent of healthcare organizations
surveyed say that their IT departments lead the IoHT
charge, 26 percent say their research and development
(R&D) divisions are leading their IoHT eforts and one
in ten organizations even have dedicated IoHT
subsidiaries or business units.
Today, healthcare organizations allocate on average
around 10 percent of their annual IT budgets to
investments for IoHT solutions; this amount grows
incrementally as the size of IT budgets as a whole
grow larger (Figure 2).
