Abstract
Brazil is the ninth economy and seventh-largest health market in the world, currently accounting for more than 9% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition, the country ended 2019 with more than 400 startups working in the health area, demonstrating the maturity of the market and the ability to foster innovation. In this scenario, the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a technology with a revolutionary potential to bring significant progress to the health area in Brazil. The Brazilian national IoT plan includes health as one of its strategic areas and is promoting a solid structural base, through a set of centers of excellence and initiatives, supporting research, development, and innovations. However, encouraging and training of qualified professionals and facing challenges related to infrastructure and connectivity are decisive factors for Brazilian success in the IoT area.
