Healthcare in today’s day and age has grown multifold, offering the best medical facilities to patients. As an organization providing healthcare solutions – be it a clinic, a hospital or a pharmacy, keeping all your services linked can get hard.
Wearable technology is changing the way people monitor and manage their health. Devices like smartwatches, medical bracelets, and downloadable medical apps are now used for a myriad of reasons – from clinical trials to managing a patients’ chronic condition.
Hospital readmissions have placed a substantial financial strain on the United States’ healthcare system. The average cost of readmissions in 2016 was $14,400, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients were fearful of going to the doctor. However, it became even more crucial to monitor their health during this time. This is where remote patient monitoring (RPM) became vitally important to the virtual health strategy of every payer and provider.
Technology has evolved over the years and now, many aspects of our lives have been digitised. The healthcare industry especially is one that adopted this trend once the pandemic hit. As most people are unable to see their doctors, as usual, they have since relied on digital technology to obtain medical attention and advice.
