clipped from mobihealthnews.comYesterday, Sprint announced a multi-year agreement with M2M company DataSmart to help embedded device makers to bring their products to market sooner. As part of the announcement the carrier quoted Yankee Group’s Vice President of Research Steve Hilton: ”The demand for sophisticated M2M applications that provide data transmission is growing. Specifically, the rapid growth in M2M healthcare, energy and fleet services is fueling the need for faster and easier deployment models.”
A recent report from Harbor Research predicted that M2M device shipments might top 430 million units by 2013, thanks to demand from wireless personal area networks and wireless sensor networks technologies. You can bet wireless healthcare will be one of the key use cases driving that trend.
