1) Electronic Health Records
EHRs provide a complete picture of a patient's medical history. Storing these records online lowers the need for paper documents but also makes access faster and more efficient for health professionals.
2) Internet of Things
The popularity of mobile medical applications and wearable devices offers visibility into a patient's health and activity. The ability to monitor medical conditions and in some cases prevent life-threatening health events in real time is revolutionising preventative medicine.
3) Cloud/Mobile Access
With the rise of smartphones and tablets, delivering healthcare services through mobile devices has become the norm. Doctors can work remotely and patient's data is being stored in the cloud allowing it to be accessed from anywhere on any device with real time reporting.
4) Security, privacy and regulation
Accessing medical records on any device in a digital environment opens the door to security issues. The downside of an online environment in healthcare means certain steps need to be taken to ensure access is restricted to those who are specifically authorised to view that data to avoid breaches and breaking regulations.
5) Big data
These masses of data sets are being analysed to reveal patterns, trends and associations. The use of Big Data in healthcare is helping to predict epidemics, cure diseases and improve quality of life for patients as well as improving profits and cutting down on unnecessary expenses.
