3 Ideal ways to improve healthcare using digital health tech
Digital health tech pours the magic into the lives of the patients, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders.
#1. Integration of telemedicine with EMR/EHR
Telemedicine is a game changer for the entire healthcare industry.
People worldwide, especially the USA, Canada, and UK citizens have witnessed its ability during the pandemic.
It lets patients connect with healthcare experts over chat, voice call & video call.
But its integration with the EMR (Electronic Medical Records) & (Electronic Health Records) opens a vast number of gates for healthcare professionals to enhance care delivery and reduce time, error, and costs.
For instance, without integration, medical experts must operate both EMR/EHR systems and telemedicine app during virtual care.
This approach is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone at the same time.
With integration, there is no need to operate two complex systems simultaneously as healthcare professionals directly extract the data from the EMR/EHR into the telemedicine app.
However, the integration of the EMR/EHR slightly influences the cost of telemedicine.
#2. IoT-enabled care
IoT (Internet of Things) is transforming the way healthcare delivers.
The robust tech analyzes, gathers, and shares vital body signs such as pulse rate, blood pressure, sugar level, oxygen level, sleep quality, and the list goes on and on.
