The Rise of Virtual Care Technology in the Healthcare Sector

Telehealth and intelligent remote monitoring devices allow patients to stay at home and manage their care conditions, avoid hospital visits, and interact with their caregivers regularly in real-time.

Fremont, CA: The increased upscaling of virtual care ability and the popularity of telehealth have allowed the opportunity to new digital health tools. Healthcare companies that have built up virtual care through ready-to-deploy consumer technologies are looking at the platforms' suitability for enterprise-level scaling.

Telehealth has become the primary method of accessing healthcare for routine care requirements. Many related technology trends are also emerging, along with telehealth. Here are two popular trends redefining the healthcare industry:

Contactless Experiences

The COVID-19 pandemic has made many changes in societal practices. It has made us fear touching any surfaces exposed to the public. The fear is more significant in hospitals or clinics. Technology-enabled workflows allow patients to complete most of the registration procedures before the visit (virtual consult or clinic visit). Registration kiosks in hospital lobbies will soon enable facial recognition software to remove the need to touch any surface.

Routine examinations are being implemented virtually, with diagnostic procedures becoming possible through remotely controlled devices, and caregivers are doing their patient rounds through virtual visits.

Remote Monitoring and Automated Communication

Telehealth and intelligent remote monitoring devices allow patients to stay at home and manage their care conditions, avoid hospital visits, and interact with their caregivers regularly in real-time.

Digital health and automated communication tools have enhanced healthcare results by minimizing missed appointments, improved adherence to medication regimens, and focused intervention during serious situations.
