The world becomes increasingly digital, the health care industry also is at full speed to keep up with the pace, the result is due to improved health care for patients with new digital technology to explosive growth.
The most obvious change for patients is the emergence of the Mobile Electronic Medical Record (HER), a technology that simplifies the recording process of medical records and meets the requirements of relevant policy regulations through the joint efforts of doctors and hospitals. However, the current market share of new technologies aimed at improving the lives of patients, the elderly and the disabled is still small, with a figure of only a few tenths.
From telemedicine practices to 3D printing trials, hundreds of entrepreneurs and innovators are reshaping the overall ecology of the healthcare industry. Carla Smith, executive vice president of the American Association for Healthcare Information Management, said that the attendees of the association's annual health IT conference have almost doubled in the past decade. She believes that a large number of new technologies are “continuously emerging and mature enough to meet the patient's need for care optimization, safety and cost-effectiveness.â€
Here are some recent innovations:
"Smart" helmet: This technique of embedding a sensor into a helmet can send an alert in time when the athlete's head unfortunately hits and causes a concussion.
Asthma Respiration Application: Signs of asthma patients can be automatically sent to the doctor via the mobile terminal.
Ingestible Sensors: Edible sensors have no batteries or antennas and are powered by gastric fluid. This sensor transmits data to its built-in patch, while also detecting heartbeat rate, activity and stillness; this information can be sent to Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices.
Pregnant women's mobile phone text messages: pregnant women with weak economic conditions or medical inconvenience can use this technology to contact doctors. It can also be used to remind patients when to vaccinate and conduct laboratory tests.
Healthcare strategist Marc Olsen compares the current state of health care technology with the boom in Internet outbreaks in the early 2000s to judge the truth behind this current boom. He believes that there are still many obstacles accompanying this boom. Healthcare has been lagging behind other industries for about 20 years. "This area is extremely complex," Olson said.
Olson is expected to have a large number of emerging companies facing a failed outcome. "But this is not necessarily a bad thing," he said. “Success requires more than just a good idea because there are so many variables in the healthcare industry and there are so many regulations to follow.â€
The industry is moving in a positive direction, but there are still more areas for improvement. Stoakes of the Entrepreneur Alliance has established a joint venture, StartUp Health, a long-term program that focuses on young digital healthcare companies in the market to help them find their way in the start-up market.
Some start-up health companies currently work with companies including AdhereTech, CarePredict and Cerora. These companies are developing innovative products, ranging from smart pill bottles (who doctors advise patients when to take medicine) to smart bracelets (telling doctors whether to wash their hands in the right way).
It is no exaggeration to say that from home applications to "smart" clothing, technology has "invaded" all aspects of people's lives in an accelerated way. Bill Custer, a professor at the School of Health Management at Georgia State University, said the new technology offers prospects for healthcare consumers as well as doctors and hospitals.
But this prospect will only be recognized when these technologies can really improve the quality of service and reduce the cost of consumption. So whether or not consumers really value the future of the industry, it actually depends on how the new technology is effectively applied, Custer said.
"Now, whether it is a startup or an ordinary individual, the invention of any new technology faces numerous challenges. For example, they must first prove that their products can truly fulfill their commitment to patients," Custer said. "This industry does not look at it as a face of a new technology and blindly accept it."
