Information Technology is increasingly changing the way healthcare is provided and opens up new opportunities for clinicians to treat and manage their patients worldwide. Two significant developments that will completely change today's treatment paradigm are the emergence of artificial intelligence and the proliferation of wearable health trackers. Artificial intelligence in the form of m
odern supercomputers has the capability to mine tens of thousands of health records and in the process recognize disease patterns and enable early diagnoses with
the potential to
design treatment plans and create drugs much faster
than any medical professional today.
As health systems digitize across the world, more and more data will become available that can be mined by AI, boosting the opportunities for early diagnostics and shifting the focus from treatment to prevention. A lot of large multinationals from Apple to Amazon and Google are working on systems that are targeting to convert healthcare data into actionable tools that will revolutionize the way people will manage their health in the future.
A part of this trend is the growing number of wearable devices that can monitor, track and transmit health data. Patients can actively monitor their health via smart watches, get reminders of when to take medication or take exercise, and physicians can track compliance via data transmitted to them through patient-worn devices. As the global trend of shifting patient care from the hospital to home environment continues, information technology is a key enabler to make this happen, increasing peoples quality of life and easing the burden on overloaded primary care systems.
Junicon has conducted a large number of studies in the healthcare IT space over the years for its clients. If you are interested in doing research in this area, contact us under
