A crucial factor for an efficient delivery of the health care system is the medical database of the patient on a real time basis. The mortality rate has deep rooted constrains in medical errors due to lack of medical information of the patient and unavailability of real time data. IoT enabled technology can bring about a drastic change in reducing the mortality rate. The value added is much beyond the money it can save people’s life, with the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic the benefits derived from IoT enabled technology has been remarkable. A striking feature of IoT enabled tools in the field of health care sector is thait can cater to a large population simultaneously and remotely. If IoT platform is implemented in healthcare services it can reduce the expenditure of health care services to the national GDP and can reduce the mortality rate. With digital transformation E-health apps are cost effective and less time consuming for individuals to monitor vitals at will. An emerging economy like India can be benefitted immensely from using IoT enabled tools in the field of health care services.
