> How your healthcare facility can improve by incorporating this technology
The healthcare sector today faces a number of global challenges: services are becoming increasingly expensive, chronic diseases are on the rise, and the general population is aging in the face of a falling birth rate.
In this context, essential medical care is entering a process of demand and it is in this aspect that the development of Internet of things applications enters the scene at the right time. The internet of things, also known as IoT (Internet of things), is a technology applied to equipment that allows the expansion of healthcare services and generates an effective integration that promises to take healthcare to the next level.
The following are what we believe to be the most immediate benefits of being able to integrate this technology into the processes and equipment of your health center or institution. At SkyMed we are always looking for innovations through our SkyLab unit that allow us to offer constant technological improvements and development:
Reporting and tracking: all at the same time
Being able to count on constant and remote monitoring broadens the scope of the health service and provides quality of life for patients. There are different devices that can be used to monitor heart failure, glucose levels in people with diabetes, pulmonary status in cases of asthma, etc.
Real-time monitoring through a smart medical device can collect data and elemental information to have a more complete diagnosis and all this connected directly to the health professional attending the patient.
This simultaneous monitoring also serves to establish alerts that enable medical emergencies to be foreseen, a fundamental condition for chronic patients and which enables immediate attention regardless of the time and place where the patient is located.
Two-way communication and connectivity
Working with connected devices enables seamless, real-time communication between patient and physician. IoT can automate the patient care workflow by simplifying mobility through consultations, positively impacting the flow of patients and cases within the facility or medical institution.
This also has an impact on the cost of medical care for the patient and a better allocation of resources can be made with a more efficient outcome for the patient's health.
Additionally, the projection thanks to IoT is to be able to have drug distribution systems based on the patient's prescription and disease-related data available through linked devices.
Data assortment and analysis
One of the great advantages of the application of this technology in general is the data obtained in each process, no matter how simple it may be. The data are not only basic information but are large amounts of specific data that allow the establishment of analysis patterns through different variables.
For this, it is necessary to have the necessary equipment for data processing and visualization, as well as personnel who can establish guidelines for data analysis.
At SkyMed we focus on applying the latest technologies to the processes of your health center in order to enhance it. Leave us your details here to arrange a virtual meeting with one of our representatives.
