Mobile Technology in Healthcare Industry

There are numerous benefits of mobile devices in healthcare for both patients and healthcare providers. Read on:

Acts as a better care point

Traditionally, after discharge from the hospital, the patient has to take certain prescribed medicines. The nurse explains how and when it should be taken and the follow-up process. But there is no assurance if the patient understood what was communicated, or they remember the dosage.  As per the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), prescription errors are responsible for 70% of medication errors. But mobile apps are changing the way care was provided. Doctors and nurses can now coordinate better with the patient about the diagnosis, medication and the follow-up process. They can even monitor their health progress. This has made patient recovery faster and definitely better.

Real-time communication

Improved communication is one of the many important benefits of mobile apps in the healthcare industry. Today, healthcare providers can examine the patient’s condition using HD cameras. Moreover, using the mobile technology doctors can share knowledge across the globe and promote collaboration which will benefit the patients. In a survey of medical school HCPs and students, more than 80% of respondents described using mobile devices to communicate with colleagues about patient care via email, telephone, and text messages. It also helps to strengthen the relationship between healthcare providers and patients.

Personalized service

Doctors deal with a large number of patients each day. Many-a-times, it gets really difficult for them to give individual attention to every patient always. With the help of mobile devices, physicians are customizing remedies/treatments/care without spending more time. By using patient’s data doctors will be able to create their profile and categorize them. These profiles can help them suggest/create a custom solution for each patient.

Undoubtedly, mobile is definitely changing the way doctors/physicians treat their patients. With a robust mobile strategy, healthcare providers can take benefit of the real-time and accurate details which will further improve the care offerings.
