Digitally engaged physicians about the digital health transition

Digitally engaged physicians, the digital transformation of the medical industry has the potential to radically improve the ability of physicians, hospitals and organizations to treat patients and enable them to lead longer and healthier lives. 

Let’s take a look at some of the key trends in this digital transformation and the challenges facing the industry  today. 

Healthcare Technology Trends  

Wearables and the Internet of  Things 

Wearables and the Internet of  Things (IoMT) continues to be a major trend in the digital transformation of the healthcare industry and is one of the digitally engaged physicians.

According to Juniper Research. The healthcare wearable market is worth $ 60 billion by 2023. Similarly, according to Allied Market Research, the global IoMT market will reach $ 136.8 billion by 2021. 

These connected devices provide healthcare professionals with a better way to capture critical medical data in real time and assess patient health more comprehensively and accurately. 

In addition, wearables and IoMT enable the medical industry and patients themselves to collect data and improve preventive care efforts at both the micro and macro levels. 

Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis 

In the medical industry, civil servants often have to make  difficult choices between  affordability, accessibility, and effectiveness of  services. In the perfect world, medical care is fully accessible, affordable and effective. But that’s not the case in the real world. 

Fortunately, AI has the potential to help the industry become more accessible, affordable and effective. The AI system reduces costs by performing time-consuming tasks previously performed by humans, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on more complex and patient-centric tasks. AI can also be used to enable patients to use self-service terminals as needed. This allows clinics and hospitals to allocate resources in ways that have the greatest impact on patient health.  

According to an Accenture study, AI systems can meet 20% of unmet clinical needs. In addition, Accenture predicts that  top AI applications will save $ 150 billion annually in the healthcare industry by 2026. 

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality 

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality is an innovative solution that is revolutionizing the medical industry. From 2018 to 2023, the value of the health-based AR and VR industry is projected to grow from $ 933 million to $ 3.2 billion. The AR and VR have a number of healthcare applications  that assist both patients and professionals. For example, VR helps healthcare professionals  perform dangerous procedures without endangering patients. For complex procedures, AR technology can also be used by surgeons to reduce the chance of error. 

The AR and VR also have patient treatment applications. For patients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, AR and VR are  used to recreate an experience that allows them to relive certain memories of life and general periods of well-being. The VR is also  used  as a therapeutic tool to help patients overcome both pain and trauma experiences that are very difficult to deal with. Studies show that when digitally engaged physicians get a VR experience, burn patients suffer 35-50% less pain.
