Abstract

Using Internet of Things (IoT) devices in clinical labs has become a ground-breaking strategy to transform conventional laboratory management. The main factors and procedures for deploying IoT technology for real-time monitoring in healthcare settings are described in this research. Labs may get more efficiency, accuracy, and data-driven decision-making by defining crucial integration areas, choosing appropriate equipment, and guaranteeing connectivity and security procedures. In order to protect patient data, the article stresses the significance of seamless integration with current Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and adherence to healthcare legislation. For measuring the research used SPSS software and generate result included correlation, regression analysis, the chi square analysis between them. Laboratory workers are empowered to react quickly to abnormalities by means of an intuitive real-time monitoring dashboard, remote access features, and proactive alerts, which save downtime and enhance overall operational procedures. The topic of power management systems, scalability, and the requirement for feedback loops to facilitate ongoing development are also covered. Laboratory staff adoption of IoT technology is facilitated by the implementation of training programmes and change management techniques. Overall result founded that, integrating IoT devices into clinical laboratories offers a revolutionary approach that improves patient care outcomes while offering real-time insights into crucial parameters. A dedication to continuous development guarantees the continual optimisation of IoT systems as laboratories adopt this technological transformation, promoting a more responsive and networked healthcare environment.
