The use of artificial intelligence in the health sector has come to simplify the lives of patients, doctors and health center administrators. She allows tasks normally performed by humans to be performed in less time and with great accuracy.
The consideration was made by Dr. Rolando Varona, generalist/gastroenterologist and Dr. Mayelin Wilson, generalist/intensive and emergency medical, who are directing the introduction of the system in the Dominican Republic.
This remote monitoring system, which means (Internet of Medical Things), from Aquanova Medsat the patient, through an IoMT-enabled device, can measure their vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and glucose level, from home and transmit the data to health care providers in real time, the specialists explain.
Likewise, IoMT remote monitoring has been shown to be effective in reducing readmission rates of patients with chronic diseases. Studies have found that, on average, patients using remote monitoring services have a readmission rate of only 2%, they indicate.
The gastroenterologist highlights that this remote patient monitoring system is designed to help doctors receive results in real time, which is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart and kidney diseases, as well as those who require continuous dialysis treatment.
He adds that “they are specialized 2-in-1 devices that are easy to use and provide patients with a convenient and efficient way to monitor their health from the comfort of wherever the patient is.”
Dr Wilson says this allows doctors to remotely monitor the health of their patients and intervene quickly when necessary, ensuring timely and effective medical intrusion.
He added that the objective of this new monitoring system, which uses the latest IoMT technology, is that patients can have a better lifestyle, with quality, while continuing to care for their well-being, by being able to get involved in family activities and even travel with peace of mind, while allowing you to take control of your health through the use of advanced monitoring devices.
“The IoMT monitoring system can keep patients out of the hospital by enabling more efficient care at home and helping to avoid costly ER visits or extended inpatient stays. Utilizing remote monitoring can help reduce overall health care costs by up to 12%,” said the intensivist.
With its cutting-edge IoMT technology, Aquanova Medsat, the company that has introduced this remote monitoring system to the country, is poised to revolutionize the healthcare industry and improve patient outcomes in the Dominican Republic and beyond.
