I want to understand the process to import the data from wearables real time, and provide analytics on the data.

Azure IoT Hub
Azure IoT Hub
An Azure service that enables bidirectional communication between internet of things (IoT) devices and applications.

    Hello RAHUL BATRA,

    welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

    I checked the documentation and ingesting data to the MedTech service into Azure seems quite straightforward:

    Diagram of the IoT device message flow through an IoT hub and event hub, and then into the MedTech service.

    Just follow along that sample walk-through and you have a basic (ARM) setup.

    You need to register a device in the IoT Hub and start sending telemetry in this format:

    {
        "PatientId": "patient1",
        "HeartRate": 78,
        "RespiratoryRate": 12,
        "HeartRateVariability": 30,
        "BodyTemperature": 98.6,
        "BloodPressure": {
           "Systolic": 120,
           "Diastolic": 80
        }
    }  
    

    The IoT Hub wraps this message and adds the device id to it automatically:

    I also checked this document, it shows a solution without IoT Hub.

    This is because the ingestion is done via an EventHub and any service can be a producer of data for the EventHub.

    You still need to provide Normalize/ optional grouping / Transform steps before you persist the data for the service. This is because the format of the message seen above could differ from what you need for the service.

    I recommend testing with the tutorial seen above to learn about all the steps.
