Medicine of the Future: Digital Technologies in Healthcare

Abstract

This article discusses the role of innovative digital technologies in medicine to improve its competitiveness and efficiency of organization and management in health care, as well as improving the quality of treatment. Health care shows the diversity of achievements and the flow of innovations based on technology. Most of the innovations that the author will describe here are still at the initial stage of development. Everyone is impressive in their own way. But the good news is that these innovations have been opened up from the traditional healthcare system to “unified medicine”. The goal is to identify and prevent the disease, along with treatment. In an outdated model of medicine, the necessary data is scattered between paper files, or classified into an electronic medical record system. Today, its improved model is being implemented. This is an individual technology for continuous monitoring of vital functions and comprehensive presentation of information about the patient’s health status. The development of information technologies and home self-monitoring devices leads to the creation of convenient services for remote consultation of citizens who care about their health.

“…Seguindo esta lógica, a telemedicina auxilia na assistência à saúde e funcionam como estratégias para aprimorar a adesão a tratamentos farmacológicos e não farmacológicos, assim como o ensino a distância pôr instrumentos da telecomunicação (Saltanat, et al, 2020). Essa tecnologia móvel pode ser realizada por meio de contato telefônico ou dispositivos eletrônicos, tais como, telefone móvel, caixa eletrônica com alarme, tablets, aparelho de pulso, entre outros (Evans, et al, 2016;Goldstein, et al, 2014).…”

Improving access to care for underserved communities through telemedicine

“…More telemedicine platforms have been introduced since the start of the pandemic, with some being more user-friendly than others. The rate of adopting technology is mostly uneven in poorer communities with lack of access to care 27. Patients need to be educated on how to access their patient portal and encouraged to use it to increase communication with their healthcare providers.…”

Patients need to activate their patient portal online.…”

Digital Technologies in Healthcare: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis

“…Medical advances such as genetics, sensors and wearable health products are proving to be increasingly successful in medicine. Medical 3D printing, nanomedicine, and robotics research are all offering to provide targeted, accurate, and rapid medical services [5]. The use of real-time data in digital health can help to improve epidemic prevention and control due to the frequently changing nature of epidemics.…”

“…Digital health is the implementation of data analytics and digital technologies to understand health-related behaviour of individuals and provide personalized health care resources [3] [4]. Digital healthcare can provide important information about disease trends and risk factors, outcomes of treatment or public health interventions, functional abilities, patterns of care, and health care costs and use [5]. The use of real-time data in digital health can help to enhance epidemic prevention and control the dynamic and turbulent nature of epidemics.…”
