New technologies redefining the traditional healthcare

 

The new technologies are working hand in hand with the British healthcare system to help improve their remote care services. At the dawn of this initiative that has made itself indispensable is the Internet of Things (IoT) as this enterprise has come through introducing the wearable IoT devices and sensors. Those gadgets will allow a steady connection between the patient and their carer from a distance. In fact, the premise of this digital advancement has undoubtedly been brought forward as a result to the failing or inability to carry out health interventions during the covid-19 pandemic for causes of lockdown and other related reasons.

Furthermore, the IoT has thought of a convenient and trending way of implementing progress and efficiency when developing the wearables into watches. For instance, the very smartwatch itself, ensures an instant transmission of the patients’ heart rate and other vital details directly to their doctor or whichever is in care of the patient.

Besides, the functions developed and addressed through the Internet of Things sensor smartwatch are the closest digitalized version of a health workers and doctor’s check list when treating a patient. Indeed, we are here talking about one traditional “remembering medication” often delivered by doctors, except that in this advancement’s case the carer will be able to ring the alarm if a patient had truly forgotten to take his pills. There is a sense of security and trust emerging from both parties; carers and patients alike.
