Healthcare represents a sustantial forward growth for M2M (machine to machine) services. In a recent paper prepared by the University of Glamorgan in Wales, a study was performed for the use of GPRS network for telemedicine in Spain. Key findings indicated improved responsiveness, as well as the benefits of security of patient and doctor records as compared to traditional paper systems. With the complexity of diagnosis increasing, telemedicine services can put an expert on the spot almost anywhere in the world. Increasingly this is also beneficial to use tracking type of systems for managed care facilities and for Alzheimer's patients. – a combination of healthcare and personal security. The Ontario health system estimates that some 30% of dispensed drug programs are not run to completion – costing the province not only tens of millions of dollars in waste, but also due to patients returning with recurrent systems.
