Healthcare 4.0 - A Patient Experience

Machine-to-machine communication revolutionizes the healthcare sector by proactively addressing issues such as long queues, enhancing accuracy, and improving the overall patient experience. While hospitals have incorporated some IoT technology, there is untapped potential to elevate healthcare to version 4.0. Now, let's compare your regular hospital visit with a glimpse into what it could be:

Traditional Hospital Visit:

I'm feeling awful, so I trudge to the doctor's office. You know the drill – paperwork, copay, and the infamous waiting game. The doctor, seeing my high fever, recommends a trip to the hospital.

Hospital time means standing in line with both sick and healthy folks – not the most comforting scenario. I notice someone nearby coughing, and suddenly, the shared pens and crowded seating don't sound too appealing. An hour and a half later, and I'm still waiting.

Modernized Hospital Visit:

Feeling unwell, I swung by the doctor's office for the first time, greeted with the usual paperwork. But here's the twist – they want my license plate number. A bit odd, right?

The doctor advised a hospital visit for my high fever, so I go but as I pull into the parking lot, bam! A text arrives, confirming my check-in and directing me to wait in my car. Soon enough, I got the alert to enter. Inside, an empty waiting room with futuristic kiosks awaits. A security question later, a nurse whisks me away to a room with a wall-mounted kiosk. More security questions, but this time with perks – personalized content on immunizations and diet options while I wait for the doctor.

And here's the kicker – no coughing neighbors to stress about!

Added Benefits:

The integration of License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems, smart kiosks, and digital signage minimizes the risk of spreading infection to others. This approach offers a more comfortable experience compared to the traditional crowded waiting room. In addition to these innovations, omniQ provides solutions such as doctor and nurse-style cards, medical computers, and more.
