How Healthcare Technology will change in 2019? : Sprawling technology has covered all aspects of an individual’s life.  Technology is evolving rapidly leaving no corner untouched by technology. Depending on its usage, it can be viewed either as a boon or a curse. Although, implementation of technology in healthcare department such as CT scan, X-ray, MRI, etc. have been proven to be an advantage for years.

Healthcare Technology

Looking at the present situation, technology-enabled healthcare is in high demand and for all the right reasons. It enables online doctor consultation early, easy diagnosis, resulting in more effective treatment.

Going by the data, in the past year, a lot of startups in the field of health care have emerged in huge number and some of the names include Practo, Lybrate, Docprime, etc. Let’s see, how they are going to bring revolution in the field of health care in the year 2019 and onwards.

Artificial Intelligence; Not so Artificial:

Artificial Intelligence is at its embryo stage; however, the impact that it has brought looks quite promising. Now, a patient does not really need to go to the hospital to check the availability of the doctor or line-up in a queue to fix an appointment with a doctor. All this is easily accessible and can be done with a click of a button.

Other than this, it also helps in the management of staff, monitoring the health of the patients and notify the nurse in case of emergencies.

This all helps in saving time, and energy. Also, the disease and precise changes in the body and causes can be detected easily.

Apart from all the above basic medical facility, invention of specific apps for helping the patients in reminding the medicine dosage and visiting the doctor.

World of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

The innovation of AR and VR is a boon for the healthcare department while enabling the doctor to plan the surgery and patients to visualize the whole phenomena.

The VR technology has also provided advancement in the field of medical studies by enabling them to see a surgery regardless of the distance. This makes the professional training of the medical students, nurses and doctors easy and accessible to any corner of the world.

AR integrates the physical world with the digital world, thus allowing the surgeon to better understand the conditions of the patients. The technology has helped surgeons to separate infant twins who were connected at liver, heart and chest.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA):

RPA is not related to the medical field, however the changes that the RPA has brought in the field of healthcare are influential and visible across the domain. It helps in easy streamlining of the backend procedure. It helps in decreasing the overall cost with increased efficiency and quality patient care.

Some of the benefits seen because of implementation of RPA are:

  • Reduction in operational costs
  • Strict regulatory compliance as the steps are under surveillance and being documented at the same time.
  • Higher rate of customer satisfaction because of fewer mistakes
  • Boost in efficiency as robots do not get tired.
  • Better productivity as robots carry out repetitive tasks at high speed.
  • Reduction in operational costs
  • Better management service
  • No human errors

Other than the above benefits, the technology helps the society in the following ways:

Elimination of wastage of paper- The records are maintained electronically, hence eliminating the wastage of paper and leaving no scope of errors.

Saving in manpower- The situation might sound alarming but with the help of technology we can promote them to a higher role which is more suitable and requires human interference.

Higher Throughput- With the help of technology, a large number of patients can be entertained in a day, which seems to be impossible in case of human interference.

Care Management- RPA helps in managing and coordinating care by promoting wellness, remote monitoring and utilization management. These activities can be easily managed by RPA.

BLOCK CHAIN:

The technology has already made its mark in the financial industry. In the field of health care, it helps in better management, providing a solution for some of the crucial healthcare issues which require collaborative research, foolproof security and smooth backend functioning. Some other benefits are mentioned below:

Organized and Transparent processes- Healthcare industry needs an exclusive well-organized pattern and transparent processes with 100% accuracy.  Blockchains help in keeping healthcare information integrated and eliminated chances of data leakage with the advantage of the private and public key.

Better Collaboration- The technology promotes the participation of different research groups with the help of ledger distributed technology.

Protection of crucial data- Protecting crucial data during a research is nothing less than a challenge and another challenge is to provide access only to the authentic person.

The block chain technology comes with cryptographic advantage and facilitates checking the authenticity of data with the help of a digital signature. It helps in offering foolproof security to the important data.

CHAT BOT:

Hospitals are rapidly implementing chat bot, because of its user-friendly feature. Chat bot is basically an automated communication system. It assists an individual to indulge in a conversation via text messages through the platforms of instant messaging, online chats, etc.

Healthcare professional understands the requirement of an individual for the required medical attention. Chat bot enables a medical practitioner to reach the patients in an easy manner. Patients can share their medical conditions and the necessary medicine or treatment can be prescribed easily. This helps in the prevention of further worsening of the condition.

Chat bot helps in easy access of hospital and different specialists. Emerging healthcare startups such as docprime healthcare, are using such technologies to help the patients without any hassle.

The implementation of technology in the healthcare department will improve the quality of life as well.

In the present era, hospitals need a new physician to meet the growing demand for healthcare services, while also virtual assistants play a vital role and since increasing number of medical organizations are adopting the telemedicine techniques, there is a high probability that patient will use them more frequently.

This will impact the human race for good and eventually the quality of life will also improve.
