Smart Healthcare is changing lives
Over the last few years, not only have we had to deal with a pandemic, but we have also witnessed a steady increase of chronic diseases, which, combined, have pushed health practitioners and hospitals to their limits. The traditional doctor-centred health management model seems to struggle to adequately deal with the growing number of patients and diseases worldwide.
Smart healthcare uses the newest information technologies, like the Internet of Things (loT), cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, in order to disrupt the traditional medical system with more convenient, more personalised and more efficient healthcare. We are not talking about a simple technological advancement. Smart Healthcare is a multi-level, all-round transformation embodied in the following:
- from a disease-centred care to a patient-centred care;
- from a clinical informatization to a regional medical informatization;
- from a general medical management to a more personalised one;
- from practices focused on disease treatment to more preventive healthcare.
A smart healthcare approach, more patient-centred, gives people access to real-time self-monitoring tools, with immediate feedback of health data, and timely intervention of medical professionals in case of emergencies. These changes reflect the future development direction of modern medicine, focused on meeting the different needs of individuals while improving medical care efficiency and service experience.
