• Evaluating the Use of IoT technology With Health Care

Health care information systems have advanced greatly over the last decade. Just recently, the term, "Internet of things" (IoT) has been introduced and defined as "a user-friendly technology that allows everything to be connected and also allows effective communication between the connected 'things."' (Rajput et. al., 2016). In the health care industry, IoT is being deployed to advance health care security applications that will allow data to be accessed via mobile devices and the cloud.

Part I:

·         Discuss some of the:

·         IoT Strategies;

·         Technologies; and

·         Methods-

you would recommend that the organization implement in improve overall patience care, lower overall health care costs, and provide a higher level of security of PII data.

Part 2:

Explain how you would approach a recommendation that attempts to discourage or reject the use of some of these strategies, as having an imbalance between the benefits of the tool and the risks to the information assets of the patient and organization by their use.

According to IDC, the installed base of the IoT will grow to about 212

billion globally by the end of 2020.

The Biggest Lie Ever-IoT is An Improvement-Everything Computer Controlled-Who Has the Remote?

Smart buildings around the country are now much more efficient and secure, thanks to sensors that monitor temperature, electricity, video surveillance and more. Manufacturers can ensure better quality control as a result of thousands of sensors measuring machine operating data and part quality. Retailers can provide better customer service, thanks to smart shelves that can detect low inventory and smart shopping carts that can direct customers to the right aisles based on their digital shopping lists. Hospitals and doctors’ offices can improve patient care by using remote monitoring for everything from heart rate to blood sugar levels.

(Schwartz, 2016, p. 1)

I live in an apartment, that was renovated. The entire building is high-tech. The room temperature, and the hot-water heater, even the elevator, and the hallway, and lobby lighting-not just the electric, are on a computer grid. The apartment, is a remote-control nightmare.

              The NSA in the apartment above me-illegally STALKING me, and, who are threatening-my-life, use a remote control, and alter everything in my living space, all day, and all night, to make me, as uncomfortable, as the possibly can. The rooms, are always to hot. I turn the air down, the remote is used, to turn the air, back up. The sink water, is never hot enough. I need to wash my dishes, and the was water is Luke-warm. I fall asleep at night, the thermostat, set, at a comfortable 45 degrees, Fahrenheit, and I wake up, and it is a hot, sticky 71 degrees. I hate the computerized building.

IoT Strategies: How the World Could Be Too Connected:

        The general premise, behind: IoT, is to connect-everything (Mitchell, 2014, p. 13). The more connections, the more access to information there is, and the more opportunities, for data information loss, and security breaches. Healthcare Information, should not be handled, online, on processed through computer systems. There are endemic risks, pertaining to IoT connectivity. One, can not reasonably expect, privacy rights, to be maintained. There are too many, security, and privacy violations, associated, with maintaining: private, personal, confidential information-in the form, of data, and computerized information. A computer, is designed as a matrix interface-information, comes on, and off the computer with ease. A computer, was never designed, to maintain the privacy, of any information.

IoT Convergence of New Technologies: Internet Connective Devices:

         Healthcare information-in my personal-opinion, is of a more personal nature, than a visa credit card, or an order from Amazon.com. When making decisions, about what needs to be maintained, as a private, and personal conversation, people need to be realistic, about what can be kept private, and, what was never designed, to secure data. The conversations, online, and in stores, about: improved security for computers, new encryption devices, software that will automatically preview data, and inspect communications-are all a dishonest distraction, from the truth-your data, will never be safe enough. The more devices you connect, the more WiFi bandwidth, and the longer the distance, of the bandwidth-the more room, for: “hackers,” and other IT professionals.

IoT Methods: How the Uncontrolled Spread of Filth-Will Infect the Planet:

         IoT, is in some ways, and interesting idea, for applications, that require: high data speeds, and larger bandwidths, to transmit, dense graphics, and images. The Methods, and the marketing plan, for IoT Intl-is to: “push products,” that people may not normally be interested in, to gain exponential financial rewards (Mitchell, 2014, p. 12-16). Most of the time, high-return investments, are high-risk investments, like: cigarette industry, or child porn- on the: “black market.”

            There will always be concern, for violations, and for abuses. Peodiphilles-post, the most disgusting, offensive, scary, crazy videos to YouTube, imaginable. The FBI-hardly ever prosecute a case-although, they do complain, once-in-a-blue-moon. The Internet, is widely uncontrolled. US, and Intl laws, hardly touch, what is uploaded, and shared online. In the end, when the risks, of sharing healthcare information online, are weighed against, a simple file cabinet, in the corner, of a small, “private” obscure medical office-I think it better, to avoid computers.
