Digital healthcare: What is it?

The broad definition of digital health encompasses fields like wearable technology, telehealth and telemedicine, personalised medicine, and mobile health (mHealth).

Digital technology has been driving a revolution in healthcare, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to mobile medical apps and software that assist the clinical decisions clinicians make every day. The use of digital health tools has the potential to significantly improve individual patient care by enhancing the accurate diagnosis and treatment of disease.

A wide, multidisciplinary notion called "digital health" or "digital healthcare" comprises ideas from the point where technology and healthcare converge. The 13th World Nursing, Healthcare Management, and Patient Safety Conference is seeking speakers to discuss their research and represent it to a global audience. The conference is CME/CPD recognized. If you're interested in learning more about nursing, patient safety, and digital healthcare, join us in Los Angeles, USA on November 15-18, 2023.

For healthcare and associated purposes, digital health technologies use computing platforms, networking, software, and sensors. These technologies have a wide range of applications, including those for medical devices and applications for general wellbeing. They consist of innovations created to be used as medical products, in medical products, as auxiliary diagnostics, or as companions to other medical products (devices, drugs, and biologics). They could also be used to research or develop medicinal items.

What Advantages Do Digital Health Technology Offer?

Through data access, digital tools are giving healthcare professionals a more comprehensive picture of patient health while also allowing patients greater control over their own health. Real opportunities to increase productivity and improve medical outcomes are presented by digital health.

These technologies offer new opportunities for assisting prevention, early identification of life-threatening diseases, and management of chronic ailments outside of traditional healthcare settings. They can also enable consumers to make better-informed decisions about their own health. Digital health technologies are being used by providers and other stakeholders to:

·????????Enhance access

·????????Lower prices

·????????Raise quality

·????????Personalise medicine for patients by reducing inefficiencies.

Digital health technology can help patients and customers better manage and keep track of their actions linked to their health and wellness.

Smart phones, social networks, and internet applications are changing the way we communicate, but they are also enabling us to monitor our health and wellbeing in novel ways and expanding our access to information. In order to improve health care and health outcomes, these developments are bringing together people, information, technology, and connection.

Basic Healthcare Services

In the field of digital health, the first set of these services is referred to as primary care services. These services include mobile applications that stimulate an individual's health improvement as well as applications that promote overall general wellbeing, as well as wireless medical equipment that make use of technology like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. For instance, researchers created a computerised tool to assist seniors who have balance issues and are at risk of falling.

Services for Acute Care

In the world of digital health, the second set of these services is referred to as acute care. These services include telemedicine, which is described as treating patients via a streaming device and geared at regions with a more dispersed population, and SaMD, or software-assisted medical devices, which include pacemakers as examples of such devices. Interoperability between "Health IT," "Cybersecurity," and "Medical Devices" is the last example of acute care services. Health IT refers to how an electronic database stores, processes, and analyses patient health information and how this information can be used by healthcare professionals and organisations globally for easier access to information. Cybersecurity then plays a role in the storing of patient health information in how this information is secured and protected.

Additional Components of Digital Health

The remaining aspects of digital health are described as the sharing of medical knowledge and information between practitioners and researchers through the use of digital technologies and applications that can be used by doctors to assess patient risk. These aspects do not directly relate to acute or primary care services. Gadgets with the potential to be used for physical improvement and management, as well as to promote public education about digital health. Also, there are patient-based applications that can be used to share information between specific patients and promote the use of medication trials. Digital Health has also contributed to the social media trend of tracking disease outbreaks through the use of mass media. Lastly, the environment around sensor devices that are being used for community improvement is being recorded.

Technologies

There are many distinct types of digital health technologies, and they are used in many different areas of healthcare. As new technologies advance, the field of digital health also changes. Wearable technology, augmented and virtual reality, and telemedicine are the top three applications of digital health technologies. Telemedicine is the practise of treating patients by physicians from a distance using a variety of technology. Data collecting and how to give patients access to medical information on demand are the other major aspects of digital health that gave rise to wearables. All users will be able to track their health and receive personalised data thanks to wearable technology. In terms of digital medicine, customised regimens for patients that may be repeated and customised to address a variety of illnesses can be created using augmented and virtual reality.

Telemedicine

One of the most inclusive subfields of digital health is telemedicine. It includes remote treatment, scheduling appointments, self-symptom checking, reporting patient outcomes, and the digitization of medical records, among many other things. Quick, non-urgent consultations are frequently provided through digital and remote clinics, saving both patients and doctors time. This method of treatment, which has replaced in-person consultations as the primary way doctors visit their patients, has become increasingly popular, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Physicians want to utilise this form of digital treatment for routine checkups even after the pandemic is over because it is a trustworthy procedure that keeps all parties secure.

Wearable gadgetry

Smartwatches and on-body sensors are only two examples of the various types of wearable electronics. One of the earliest wearables to encourage self-monitoring and frequently used for fitness tracking was the smartwatch. Many keep track of information about their health, including "body mass index, calories burned, heart rate, and physical activity patterns." In addition to smartwatches, researchers are creating smart-related clothing, accessories, and patches to deliver "on-demand medicine delivery." For both severe and less severe medical conditions, this technology can be developed into smart implants that allow clinicians to design more effective, dynamic treatment plans than they otherwise could.

Virtual and augmented reality

Augmented reality technology is utilised to create smart devices for healthcare practitioners and enriches real-world encounters with computerised sensory data.

Smart glasses offer a novel, hands-free enhanced approach for a doctor to evaluate their patient's medical history because most patient-related information now comes through hand-held devices. By using a pair of smart glasses while treating a patient, the uses of this technology can include data-driven diagnostics, increased patient documentation, or even improved treatment regimens.

Criticisms

Digital healthcare poses a variety of intricate and occasionally innovative regulatory difficulties, such as how to strike a balance between public interest considerations and an individual's right to privacy and the dangers of "pseudo-experts" giving medical advice. In the meantime, the COVID-19 pandemic's explosion in the number of uses and applications has also highlighted the shortcomings of current law and other regulatory tools to address these issues (or, in some cases, been made possible by changes in law that, according to organisations like the Varieties of Democracy, have led to a "pandemic backslide" in human rights protections).
