UNDERSTANDING THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION2
Introduction
The main aim of the report is to develop a digital revolution report that will be able to
address all the challenges that are faced by the current industry. In this assessment the main
focus will be on determining the possible impacts that will be created on dentistry industry with
the integration of IoT. IoT is a sensor device that is mainly connected with the help of cloud. IoT
service offers a multi-layer technology that has the potential to provide upfront provisioning,
management, and effective automation towards the connected devices within the use of Internet
of Things. The main reason behind integrating IoT with the dentistry industry is that it offers
remote access towards the patient monitoring and ensures that proper services are provided
towards the patients. In addition to this the healthcare information systems is being designed in
such a way that it will be able to protect all the data stored within the system. The report will
describe all the necessary aspects related to the impacts of IoT in dentistry industry.
Part 1: Research
IoT is referred to the concepts that is mainly concerned with the ever growing network
that helps in communicating effectively through the help of internet enabled devices and system.
The basic components of internet of things includes sensors, connectivity and people along with
processes. The main reason behind integrating IoT in dentistry is to provide a better treatment
towards the people facing challenges with teeth and gums. With the help of Iot in healthcare it
becomes easy to provide better dental health towards the patients. IoT is often used in the tech
industry for the purpose of enhancing the features offered towards the patients. It is expected that
the integration of IoT with dentistry will drive healthcare industry to a next level as it will be
able to provide better support. The technology will perform its activity by connecting sensors
