digitalization of medical field
A variety of new medical technologies are designed to aid medical professionals to analyze data and integration. They also provide them with information into a patient’s health condition and help them determine better treatment options. For instance, connected inhalers help patients save lives by reminding them to take their medication. AccuVein, for example aids nurses and doctors identify veins in patients who are injected by displaying the location of blood flow on the skin’s surface. Other advanced devices can help make surgery more secure. One of these is a virtual reality system which allows surgeons practice procedures prior to starting on a patient.
Telemedicine is another innovation for 2022 that can improve the outcomes of patients. Telemedicine lets doctors diagnose and treat patients remotely via a video link. This can reduce the number of hospital visits a patient needs to make. It can also reduce waiting times for treatment, and also improve access to medical care.
Wearables are a different healthcare innovation that monitors the level of blood oxygen in a patient’s blood as well as stress levels and heart rate. This technology alerts doctors that a patient’s health is declining. This means they can take preventative steps and prevent the need for more intensive treatment later. CRISPR and other techniques to alter genes are changing the way in which diseases are diagnosed, allowing scientists to alter or correct DNA. This can potentially lead to cures for some fatal diseases.
