Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoTs) program has been the most successful program for any organization in order to analyze the data and use those data to build a successful company. The healthcare market has consistently grown over time due to population growth, high economic growth, and the availability of technology. This paper is developed about Kaiser Permanente one of the biggest healthcare organization in the US. This organization is not just a hospital; it’s a giant healthcare and insurance provider at the same time. The objective of this research is therefore to create a technology roadmap for the business to prioritize the characteristics of the product. The Kaiser Permanente’s technology roadmap is created by taking into account four variables, namely product characteristics, market drivers, resources, and technology. Also, these variables are mapped together to create a general roadmap for technology. The roadmap is also split into a time frame of short-term and long-term objectives.
