Answer: There are so many advances in the healthcare system as in the promotion of specific healthcare and making people aware about the diseases and it's treatment through campaigning and making awareness programs.

Ambulatory care has become one of the major source to give patient instant treatment that is also known as first aid. Many of the health improvement or instant relief machines are provided in the ambulance such as oxygen cylinder mask, ventilator, ECG machine etc. For the long term care the healthcare professionals look after the patient's health and recovery rate.

The major cause of these trend is to provide better service to the patient to make better tomorrow.

Answer 4

1. The convergence of health technology, digital media, and mobile devices enables the patient, cares and health care professionals to access data and information more easily and improve the quality and outcomes of both health and social care. Opportunities for using mobile technology have improved in the last few years with the growing population of smartphone and tablet uses, even among in older age groups, supported by a proliferation of health applications, although only a few are currently being used extensively.

Other notable developments are the availability of health care" biosensing wearables, such as digital blood pressure monitors and glucose sensors and patient are provided access to real-time health care data and information.

Additionally, smartphones are incorporating a growing range of sensors which monitor changes in physiology.

Technology has the power to improve access to health care services especially for people with mobility problems.

Mobile technology can empower patients and carers by giving them more control over their health and making them less dependent on HCPs for health information. They can use digital technology to research information online, share experiences and identify treatment options. It uses in providing access to information and education.

The most widely available health applications have been fitness, medical reference, and wellness applications.

Connected health or technology-enabled care is the collective term for telecare, telehealth, telemedicine mHelath, digital health, and eHealth services. It involves the convergence of health technology, digital media, and mobile devices and is increasingly seen as an integral part of the solution to many challenges facing the health, social care, and wellness sectors especially in enabling more effective integration of care.

2. Changes in healthcare practice are welcome if they improve quality and safety, or save money. However, it is important to tailor health care delivery to the needs of the local population and create awareness programmes and clear communication between the public and organization is essential and highly required,

The United States has what is arguably the most complex healthcare system in the world. As a result, changes within the industry are slow..

Many factors are involved in implementing and enforcing change in healthcare. Complex and slow-to-change policies are an obvious factor, but environmental and technological factors also contribute to changes in healthcare. Illness trends, doctor demographics, and technology also contribute to shifts in our overall healthcare system. As our society evolves, our healthcare requirements naturally evolve.

3. Understanding the future of a digital, autonomous, and patient-first healthcare system is, in fact, the first step in realizing that every industry is about to undergo the same transformation.

*The machine learning has already made sense of your medical history and can understand symptoms through a conversational interface, and where cameras can analyze how you walk, talk, and interact for signs of common conditions ahead of your discussion with your doctor.

*Where robots will perform routine operations, freeing up hospital staff and surgeons to perform more complex surgeries, where body parts will be 3D-printed on site, where patient records and registrations will update in real time, and where you will arrive and leave by an autonomous shuttle service.

The surgery is a success. You’re lying in bed enjoying a virtual reality experience designed to reduce the reliance on medication and make you feel calmer. The sensors are doing their part; you switch views on the headset to see a picture of your body in real time with data overlays showing you your biometric signs and the data transmitted from your new hip.

*On-site robot care assistants will augment nurse home visits, where your smart home devices act as your health monitors, where the home AI will relay your progress to your GP surgery in real time, update your medical records, track progress, and adjust accordingly compared to national records, where your subscriptions for utilities and third-party plans are adjusted in real time until you recover.

It’s easy to forget that to make one industry work as we imagine it in the future, we need the others to move at the same pace and connect. The future of healthcare is in fact tied to the future of every industry, and vice versa. The technologies we define and create today are not meant merely for one sector, but to connect all. And as technologists, advisors, futurists, it’s on our shoulders to show how it can be done.
