InfyTalk: How Connectivity Engages Patients & Healthcare Professionals
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on November 21, 2014 Posted by Ashish Goel The life sciences sector is a tale of two worlds. On the one hand, virulent strains of diseases are taxing governments and healthcare systems worldwide. Experts predict that there will be a significant shortage of doctors over the next two decades. And pharmaceutical R&D pipelines are drying up. On the other hand, mobile technology is revolutionizing the industry. Patients will be able to relay important health information to their caregivers at the flick of a wrist. Epidemiologists will be able to track and predict outbreaks of disease by parsing mountains of data they receive from patients around the world. And the traditional visit to the doctor's office - with all that waiting in the reception room, surrounded by sick patients - might be a thing of the past. Indeed, those two worlds are colliding, and it will depend on the power of connected devices to overcome the growing challenges facing the life sciences sector. In other words, this tale of two worlds is on the fast track to becoming one - one in which problems like runaway viruses and physician shortages are solved in part by Information Technology and connectivity. Another benefit of IT is that it is that researchers can reduce cycle time. Remember the pedometer? I once attended a conference at which every participant received one with his registration materials. We all fastened them to our shoes and at the end of the week, the attendee with the most ground covered won an award. I think she walked a total of 20 miles just in and around the conference center. The pedometer, as crude an instrument as it is by today's standards, was a forerunner to the concept of wearable health technology. Continue Reading: http://www.infosysblogs.com/infytalk/2014/...
