Technology has had a significant impact on the healthcare field in recent decades and has revolutionized the way healthcare is diagnosed, treated and managed. It has improved the quality and accessibility of healthcare, and is expected to continue to play a critical role in the evolution of medicine and health in the future.
The pandemic generated even more accelerated progress. Beyond the great scientific developments to find vaccines in record time, the acceleration of telemedicine and digital hospital concepts also took a leap.
Improved diagnosis and detection
Advances in medical technology, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound imaging, have enabled more accurate and earlier diagnoses of diseases. Advanced medical devices and automated laboratory testing have also improved detection capabilities.
Here Artificial Intelligence has also played a leading role. AI and machine learning are used to analyze large sets of medical data, which can help in identifying patterns, making clinical decisions, and personalizing treatments.
Apps for healthcare workers
Currently, there are apps focused on health personnel, such as Medplace, which is an app that has a work model where professionals and technicians choose where and when to work, making their experience visible, generating income and developing their career.
The application, which currently has more than 4,500 registered users, and over 3,600 shifts performed, is a new extremely attractive work model for those professionals and technicians who want to generate greater income, work flexibly, who study and must pay for their expenses. expenses, which allows for a large number of adhesions.
“Medplace offers clinics and hospitals access to a community of qualified professionals and technicians, who in turn have the opportunity to develop professionally, train and orient themselves through our platform. Professionals and technicians access through a mobile application available for both iPhone and Android,” explained Francisco Ramírez Díaz, CEO Medplace.
Electronic medical records
And speaking of data. Electronic medical records have largely replaced paper documentation, making patient information easier to access, reducing errors, and improving care coordination.
In several countries, work has been done on improvements to public health portals, where medical history is crossed with ministries, having organized access to data regarding vaccines, operations, treatments and more. This makes it easier to access medical history in case of emergencies, procedures and more.
Wearables and tracking devices
Devices like smartwatches, activity trackers, and blood glucose meters allow people to track their health and get real-time data. This promotes prevention and self-management of health.
Here we have seen considerable progress: smartwatches from different brands such as Apple, Samsung and Huawei are increasingly able to measure more metrics and with greater precision.
Medical robotics and telemonitoring
Surgical robots and other robotic devices are used in surgeries to improve precision and reduce recovery time. They are also used in assistive tasks, such as administering medications.
And along those same lines, technologies to monitor the status of patients have also advanced. Beyond the conventional. For example, patients with chronic diseases can be monitored remotely through connected devices, allowing continuous monitoring of their health status and early detection of problems.
Telemedicine
Finally, perhaps the most visible thing has been the widespread use of telemedicine in recent years. Technology has made it easier to provide healthcare remotely through telemedicine. As we said at the beginning: this accelerated with the pandemic.
Today, patients can consult doctors and specialists via video conferencing, which is especially beneficial in remote areas or for people with reduced mobility. And without a doubt, it has been one of the greatest contributions to health from technology, especially for those communities that did not have access to specialists.
