Is IoT Necessary in Our Future Life

The Internet of Things has developed as a world-leading technology. It has grown in popularity
in a short period of time. Furthermore, advancements in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML
(Machine Learning) have simplified the automation of IoT devices. As a result, the Internet of
Things (IoT) has broadened its range of applications in a variety of industries. According to
Statistics, the global Internet of Things (IoT) market was valued at roughly 389 billion dollars in
2020, and is expected to grow to over one trillion dollars in 2030, more than its revenue will
double in ten years. Not only that, but the number of IoT-connected devices globally is
expected to increase in this time frame. In this article, we will discuss the necessity of IoT
devices in various fields such as healthcare, automotive, and agriculture in the future.

Healthcare

The Internet of Things has proven to be one of the most effective technologies for the
healthcare business. It contributes to the provision of modern healthcare facilities to patients,
clinicians, and researchers. Smart diagnostics, wearable gadgets for tracking health, patient
management, and other services are among those available.

Reasons for IoT being necessary in the healthcare industry

are as follows:
1. Treatment error reduction
 By using IoT devices, there will be reduction in manual errors in patient diagnosis As a result,
patients would receive appropriate treatment on time. Furthermore, when compared to
manual diagnosis, 24/7 diagnosis via devices provides a more accurate picture of patients'
health.

2. Treatment costs are being reduced

Manual diagnosis takes time and needs the use of a variety of expensive equipment, in addition
to additional hospital costs. As a result, the entire cost of treatment rises. We can cut these
expenditures by utilizing IoT devices.

3. Availability of specialists in remote locations

The Internet of Things answers one of the healthcare industry's biggest difficulties, which is the
availability of doctors, particularly experts, in remote places. The patients will just wear the IoT
devices and the device will communicate to the appropriate specialists for analysis about the
patients’ health. As a result, the scope of the Internet of Things is assisting the healthcare
industry in providing effective treatment to the needy and this shows the necessity of IoT in our
future lives.

Agriculture
As the world's population grows, the agricultural business faces numerous obstacles.
Furthermore, changes in climate and weather conditions can have a huge impact on the
agriculture industry. To address the increased demand for food in the future, the industry has
employed technology to boost output. Precision farming, agricultural drones, and smart
farming applications are all part of it.
All of this is built on top of the IoT application. The following discussion demonstrates how
precision farming, smart farming software, and agricultural drones will help in the future to
increase land production.

Farming with pinpoint accuracy

Information and communication technology (ICT) is a tool used in agriculture for smart farming.
Crop fields are monitored using IoT-enabled sensors. Sensors are used in the technology to
calculate soil moisture, humidity, and temperature. It also makes efficient use of water by
employing an automatic irrigation system. Precision farming allows farmers to better monitor
their farms and increase productivity.

Drones for agriculture

One of the best application of Internet of Things (IoT) for agriculture is use of Drones. To plant
crops, irrigate areas, spray pesticides, and monitor crops we use agricultural drones. It's easier
to assess the health of crops with the use of drones. It is becoming easier to assess crop health
with the use of drones. All of this is made feasible by sophisticated IoT-based technologies
utilized to create agricultural drones.

Smart greenhouses
Greenhouse farming is used by farmers to increase crop output. Manual intervention is used to
regulate the environmental conditions that affect crop growth in greenhouse farming. Manually
regulating the mechanism for crop growth, on the other hand, is less productive. The Internet
of Things (IoT) and technical improvements have led to the development of IoT-based
greenhouses that include sensors, climate controllers, and other equipment.

Because all sensors and gadgets communicate with each other over the Internet, they provide
reliable information on the current state of the environment. The gadgets then engage
actuators that control greenhouse heaters, fans, glass, and lighting to match the climate.
