  • Integrated medical records Electronic medical records allow all patient histories, test results, diagnoses and relevant information to be stored centrally in an online location.
  1. Increased mobility Mobile software applications (aka mobile apps) are key to improving accessibility for patients and healthcare professionals.
  • Digital transformation in healthcareis the positive impact of technology in healthcare. Telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled medical devices, and blockchain electronic health records are just a few concrete examples of digital transformation in healthcare
  • Wonders of artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is more than just a digital transformation trend in healthcare. AI represents the epitome of medical innovation and industry players are eager to invest millions in it.

 

  • Treating patients with virtual reality Virtual Reality (VR) is the pièce de résistance of digital transformation in healthcare. Its myriad of applications are profoundly changing the way patients are being treated.

 

  • Patient electronic portals A patient portal is a secure online application that provides patients access to their personal health information and 2-way electronic communication with their care provider using a computer or a mobile device.Studies have shown that patient portals improve outcomes of preventive care and disease awareness and self-management.

 

 

  1. Telemedicine Telemedicine is defined as the use of telecommunication technologies to facilitate patient to provider or provider to provider communication. Communication maybe synchronous with real-time 2-way video communication or asynchronous transmission of patient clinical information. In addition to communication, telemedicine may provide health information that is collected remotely from medical devices or personal mobile devices. This information may be used to monitor patients, track or change their behaviour

 

  • Remote patient monitoring Studies evaluating community based Remote patient monitoring (telemonitoring) have shown that it improves patient outcomes for certain chronic conditions including; heart failure, stroke, COPD, asthma and hypertension. Patient data management systems (PDMS) are systems that automatically retrieve data from bedside medical equipment (namely patient monitor, ventilator, intravenous pump, and so forth).

 

 

  • Electronic incident reporting Electronic incident reporting systems are web-based systems that allow healthcare providers who are involved in safety events to voluntarily report such incidents. Such systems can be integrated with the electronic health record (EHR) to enable abstraction of data and automated detection of adverse events through trigger tools.

 

  • Improved Access to Medical Information and Data: One of the biggest benefits of the digital revolution has been the ability to store and access data. Healthcare professionals can now retrieve patient data from anywhere. Also, the intranet and internet have allowed healthcare professionals to share medical information rapidly with each other, resulting in more efficient patient care.

 

  • Big Data and Cloud in healthcare Another great benefit of digital technology is that it allows clinicians to gather big data in minimal time. For those conducting epidemiological studies, research, or clinical trials, digital technology allows for the instant collection of data from a much more diverse and larger population than ever before. The generation and collection of huge amounts of data from a number of different sources in the healthcare field are now possible. This data is then used for analytics, making predictions about possible epidemics and ultimately preventing deaths.

 

 

 

  • Health Apps: The digital revolution has also resulted in the development of hundreds of health apps. These apps enable patients to monitor their health and disease, provide them medical information, allow them access to test results and prompt them when it is time to get their check-up. Also, healthcare apps enable healthcare workers to quickly check on test results, drug dosing recommendations and other information they need urgently.

 

 

 

  • Mobile health (applications used in detecting or preventing health issues) Mobile health (i.e. mHealth) is the use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, to deliver healthcare and preventive health services. With wearable devices such as Fitbit or Apple Watch, people are able to monitor their heart rate and be informed of anything out of the ordinary. Healthcare providers also utilise mobile technology to access patients’ records and to communicate with patients and among providers.

 

 

  • Telehealth and telemedicine (remote access and use of healthcare services) Telehealth is the use of information and communications technology (ICT) to access healthcare services remotely. Access to healthcare, especially for people who live in rural areas or have limited mobility, would improve with telehealth and telemedicine. For instance, people can use their mobile phones or other devices to log food that they ate , medication, and blood sugar levels that can be reviewed by nurses remotely.

 

  • Consumer tech used to monitor and manage health data (wearables) The consumer’s use of wearable technology to monitor their own health has become mainstream over the last few years. Fitbitnot only counts the number of steps taken per day, monitors heart rate and sleep, but also predicts approaching menstrual cycles and fertile windows for women. A wearable device might even save a life in an emergency.
  • The growth of wearable medical devices wearable medical device marketis expected to reach more than $27 million by 2023, a spectacular jump from almost $8 million in 2017. Some of the most common of these devices include:
  1. Heart rate sensors
  2. Exercise trackers
  3. Sweat meters – used for diabetics to monitor blood sugar levels.
  4. Oximeters – monitors the amount of oxygen carried in the blood, and is often used by patients with respiratory illnesses such as COPD or asthma.

 

 

  • Importance of Online Health Education/Awareness Another key benefit of digital technologies is the availability of online education, specifically in regard to healthcare, health awareness. Today, there is a plethora of information available on the internet, yet you are not sure about its veracity or authentication

 

  • Health Apps keep healthcare on your fingertips The digital revolution has also resulted in the development of health apps. They enable health monitoring; provide medical information, access to healthcare service providers and much more.

 

  • Wearable Telemedicine Technology for the Healthcare Industry

 

  • LG Electronics partnership with Amwell in developing new digital health solutions. What has this to say to Apple‘s digital health solutions?

 

 

  • Benefits of digital health and Digital health can make healthcare more accurate Digital health has the potential to prevent disease and lower healthcare costs, while helping patients monitor and manage chronic conditions. It can also tailor medicine for individual patients. Electronic health records are one way to reduce medical errors, particularly by reducing mistakes made in administering medication.

 

  • Digital Health Technologies Lead to More Empowered Patients Managing chronic illness is leading practitioners away from traditional paternalistic healthcare systems, in which healthcare providers make decisions with little to no input from patients, toward patient-centered models, in which patients are empowered to manage their own care.

 

  • Digitalization can help make health systems responsive and sustainable Digital health technologies can improve access to health services, reduce costs, improve quality of care and enhance the efficiency of health systems. They can also provide opportunities for self-care. For example, remote monitoring devices and wearables help people better manage their own health, thereby reducing the burden on health systems and helping to make them more sustainable. Technologies that help people live healthier lives can also reduce costs for health systems.

 

  • Digital health enables the transition from treatment to prevention Digital health technologies offer ways to self-manage health, with a focus on preventing disease and illness rather than simply treating them. Digital devices are already helping to track heart rate and blood sugar.

 

  • Digital health systems call for modified roles of health-care professionals Digital health technologies can enable patients to receive care without physically going to a hospital or clinic. This means that health-care professionals will need to have the skills to use digital health tools, and to guide patients in understanding and using digital solutions to improve their health.

 

  • Digital health systems can help reduce inequalities in health Telemedicine already offers remote medical services using information and communication technologies. It can serve people in isolated areas by providing access to medical services that may not otherwise be available or affordable.

 

  1. Digitization of Health Records Storing, management, and transmission of data becomes easy and quick. Support for clinical decisions is made available to professionals and patients; making it possible to take better, more informed medical decisions.

 

  • Improved Patient Care Technology has placed at the disposal of the healthcare community various potent tools to improve patient care. Since Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are easily available to physicians, they can access complete medical histories of patients and make the most well-considered medical decisions. Doctors can quickly identify possible medication errors.
