Summary

The future of telemedicine devices is expected to be driven by cloud-based internet of medical things (IoMT) deployments, with modernizing mobile device management being crucial for real-time mobile experience delivery. The industry is experiencing unprecedented growth in IoMT adoption, with a growing number of non-traditional Android devices used for remote patient care. Telemedicine upgrades are becoming increasingly necessary due to lifted restrictions and expanded insurance reimbursements, as seen in the case of Dermatologist Semal Desai who opted for telemedicine upgrades over temporarily shutting down his practice. The future functionality of mobility management for connected medical devices requires support for a larger volume and variety of connected devices, with core device management features such as configuration, provisioning, and remote debugging being essential. However, healthcare organizations face challenges in terms of interoperability, healthcare data security, mobile trust, mHealth talent, and scale, which need to be addressed through modernizing mobile device management solutions that offer seamless connectivity between devices and cloud infrastructure. As the patient population continues to age, there is a growing need for preventive care and operational improvement, with telemedicine and mHealth innovation playing a critical role in addressing these challenges.
