Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a critical role today in evolving telemedicine as a standard of care. When integrated with medical information like symptoms, treatments, and medications, AI-based healthcare chatbots can substantially improve the accuracy and speed of the diagnosis process.
The FDA has already approved the first AI-based diagnostic tool that eliminates clinicians’ need to interpret results. Leading-edge technologies like the internet of things (IoT) and 5G are also becoming vital in broadening the frontiers of telemedicine. While the IoT allows telemedicine systems to function efficiently by leveraging real-time data, the full-scale mainstream adoption of 5G significantly impacts applications that rely on real-time data analytics. For instance, it allows for better remote patient monitoring systems and the sharing of high-resolution medical images.
As a result of such trends, the telemedicine market is projected to be valued at nearly $460 billion by 2030.
To put the spotlight on such key developments in the domain, Healthcare Tech Outlook highlights the vital technological advancements in the telemedicine space and how healthcare providers leverage them to extend virtual health services for patients. The edition also features thought leadership articles from Dr. Walid Achi, Chief Medical Officer at Emirates Hospitals Group, Dr. Paul Wright, Senior Vice President and System Chair of the Neuroscience Institute at Nuvance Health, and Jeffery Hudson-Covolo, Vice President, Patient Care Services & Chief Nurse Executive/Chief Academic Officer & GME DIO, at Sierra View Medical Center, who throw light on the recent innovations in the telemedicine space and how those advancements are providing healthcare providers with the robust support they need to thrive in today’s healthcare environment.
In this edition of Healthcare Tech Outlook magazine, we also bring you the story of some of the top telemedicine service companies including InterSystems, a leading provider of data technology in the healthcare that extends a suite of health informatics platform and solutions for connected care.
Through the following pages, we aim to shine a light on the innovative trends and latest developments in the telemedicine space. We would like to know your thoughts.
