In a recent conversation with Dream Merchant, Mr. Sathyanarayanan Raman, Co-founder of IS360 Technologies And Services Private Limited (IS360), shed light on the technologies in healthcare: upcoming healthcare solutions set to transform the industry. Drawing inspiration from the world’s largest heart-health research project, where smart wearables demonstrated a 94% accuracy in screening 10 thousand people for suspected atrial fibrillation, Mr. Raman highlighted the profound impact of high-tech innovations on healthcare.
Smart technology, encompassing AI, the Internet, cloud connectivity, and advanced functionalities, is redefining patient care. Here are the five groundbreaking smart technologies poised to revolutionize healthcare
1.Remote Monitoring and Automated Healthcare Systems:
- Smartwatches and fitness trackers, now ubiquitous, monitor health factors such as heart rate, blood oxygen, and irregular heartbeats.
- Wearables like biosensors, smart thermometers, connected inhalers, and ECG monitors enhance healthcare providers' ability to continuously monitor patients, enabling proactive care decisions based on data trends.
2.Telehealth and Remote Care:
- Telehealth, accelerated by the pandemic, allows healthcare providers to virtually treat patients through video calls, prescribe medications, and conduct follow-up visits.
- Medical portal technology creates secure online healthcare portals, facilitating data collection from wearable devices and clinic visits.
3.Connected Emergency Response Solutions:
- Connectivity improves emergency care efficiency and response times, fostering real-time communication between ambulances, physicians, first responders, and emergency departments.
- Modern technology enables video calls with doctors from ambulances, quick sharing of patient data, and streamlined hospital admissions with pre-established history and conditions.
4.Smart Hospital Management
- Efficient and effective hospital management is achieved through smart technology connecting digital systems.
- Tracking bed occupancy, device usage, equipment status, and supply counts enhances resource management, reduces waste, and ensures accurate data for decision-making.
5.AI in Healthcare:
- AI-driven decision-making enhances patient care with proactive predictions, rapid data analysis, and accelerated diagnosis.
- Trained AI recognizes and diagnoses diseases within test results, significantly increasing processing speeds and reducing wait times.
As smart technologies continue to evolve, Mr. Sathyanarayanan Raman envisions a healthcare landscape where innovation ensures better patient outcomes, streamlined operations, and a more connected and proactive approach to healthcare delivery.
This glimpse into the future underscores the transformative potential of smart technologies in healthcare, making it clear that the marriage of technology and healthcare is already reshaping how patients are treated, monitored, and connected with healthcare providers.
As the industry embraces these advancements, the future of healthcare is poised for unparalleled improvements in accessibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
