The health sector, around the world, is not a stranger to innovation and new technologies. Health centers strive to make their medical offer more accessible. In order to achieve this, health centers have to utilize disruptive and innovative solutions. The biggest of the disruptive solutions in healthcare is new technology. So, let's cover some of the most important, innovative, and disruptive solutions centered around technology in the world of healthcare.

Devices and wearables

Visiting a doctor's office to get basic healthcare data such as data about pulse, heart rate, blood oxygen, and blood pressure is now slowly becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays, patients can utilize Fitbits, smartwatches, and mobile phone fitness apps, as well as other apps that are healthcare-related. On the other hand, physicians can use the data gathered from these wearables to make treatment decisions, form a healthcare plan for patients, and schedule appointments accordingly.

Electronic health records

EHRs or Electronic health records are not exactly new. They have been a part of the healthcare system for quite some time now. The incredible amount of data these electronic records contain far surpasses the old patient records. EHR data can be used to conduct research, improve care, build AI applications, and create new business opportunities.

AI, natural language processing, and machine learning

Artificial technology is also not something new. AI has been a part of the global healthcare system for a while but in different forms. However, a new, and innovative AI which is powered by a natural language processing engine and has machine learning capabilities, has immense power to assist the health center with numerous administrative tasks but also engages in active communication with patients that feels completely natural and is instant.

Furthermore, medical diagnosis and treatment tools are becoming more sophisticated and with proper implementation, can be a great boost to each health center. All of this helps healthcare providers make more accurate and timely diagnoses, leading to better health outcomes for patients.

Digital health tools

Much like devices and wearables, many digital health tools help health centers and patients with the management of numerous, daily patient monitoring and activities. Telemedicine, remote monitoring devices, and mobile apps all fall under this category and have proven to be incredibly important for the health sector. In addition to this, these digital health tools can also help healthcare providers manage their patient loads more efficiently.

Disruptive influences in healthcare

The main influences of disruptive solutions in healthcare have been:

  • Changes in the model of care

  • Patients as active participants in the overall healthcare journey

  • Freed-up health centers with better patient management and lower waiting times

All in all, personalized care, benefits of the AI usage, and many digital tools and new technologies have a powerful influence on the healthcare system in the world. It is safe to say that the current disruptive technologies, with the main focus on AI, have done much to boost the relationships between patients and health centers as well as improve the outreach of health centers' medical offers*.
