How Can a Healthcare Mobile App Help in Growing Business?

The invariably burgeoning medical necessities have been the foremost reason for the expansion of mobility solutions in the healthcare sector. In the earlier days, the focus of the healthcare and life science industries was on developing customised medical devices and equipment for hospitals and professionals. But with time, the industries have chosen customised mobile apps which are easy to use, rich in functionality and progressively smarter. The aim of these solutions is to reduce the cost of medical treatments and provide best facilities for the patients.

The infiltration of mobile devices in the healthcare sector is increasing due to the necessity of gaining fast access to information since time here is directly equivalent to the life of a patient. Mobile devices are transforming the way the hospitals operate by creating an influence on the healthcare industry. Healthcare industry giants have heavily invested in the modern technology - specifically with the help of applications using the Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Blockchain and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) techniques.

Here is how these technologies will drastically change the landscape of the healthcare industry :

• Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in the Healthcare Industry :
  

  Apart from technologies like machine learning, AI and IoT, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), have had a tremendous impact on the healthcare industry.

  Recently, AR is being used in the form of telemedicine, a concept of receiving consultation from a doctor without the patient being physically present in the hospital. Telehealth is also proving to be a great way to monitor a patient's health from a remote location. Features like video-monitoring, electronic health record integration, geo-based pharmacy recommendations and simplified billing are easing up the process of medical treatments and processes.

  The existence of AR and VR in the medical field have eased many medical processes like that of performing complex surgeries. Specific AR training simulators allow the doctors map all the motions required for a surgery directly to the patient's body.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) :

  AI and ML based technologies are surging a great chance in the healthcare industry. Improving customer experience, determining and finding values from piles of data, efficiency in analysis of medical records and improved treatments are just some of the benefits that this technology has presented.

  During medical decisions, the weak processing power of the current technology may cloud the decisions of even the best medical professionals. AI and Machine Learning can save time and resources by helping reach clear decisions so that a larger number of patients can be treated in a shorter span. Machine Learning apps can subsequently diminish human errors. The modern data processing analytics can bring out large number of data points from new sources, sorting out dissimilarities and asymmetries of data which will help making data processing efficient and effective.

• Blockchain Innovations :

  Blockchain is based on the concept of the cryptocurrency called Bitcoin. It is the concept based on distributed database where the computer can share and verify information with peer computers on a basis of consensus. Communication of different computers confirms the validity of the information they contain.

  Blockchain is considered a safe and secure method for data storage, data exchange and maintaining the privacy of medical records, since there is no way found to hack the blockchain data. The advantageous transparent data flow makes it unique to maintain the privacy and security of the patients' data. In order to secure the large amount of data and records in the network, many healthcare organizations are implementing the blockchain method in to their systems.

Conclusion

As the healthcare organizations and patients are able to make the most of it, the demand for mobility solutions in the healthcare industry is rapidly growing. Mobility solutions for health experts mean ease of accessibility and growth in healthcare. The rising number of patients, supportive government policies and the high healthcare expenses have resulted in the expansion of mobility solutions in this sector.

All the above mentioned factors with the convenience of having the mobile device working for you makes mobility solutions an irresistible opportunity for the healthcare industry to expand their market niche and provide better service to the patients which in turn increase revenue.
