Fremont, CA: Elder care is one of the many areas that can benefit from the new technological advancements. Learning about the latest scientific advancements in elder care empowers you to do your job more efficiently, whether you're a physician searching for better ways to care for your patients or an innovator looking for ideas. Of course, health technology is useless unless it improves performance and reduces costs.
Here are four technologies improving elder care:
Fall and Wander Prevention
There are central monitoring devices that can be used to alert caregivers of activity and wireless devices that can be worn by caregivers while making rounds. This means that updates are received as soon as possible, allowing quick action to be taken to resolve the issue.
The Internet of (Medical) Things
The internet of medical things (IoMT) is based on the same principle as the internet of things (IoT), but it only applies to medical devices. These devices build a more integrated environment, making it easier for patients, caregivers, family members, payers, and providers to interact and exchange data. Of course, this suite of resources includes everything from conventional medical devices connected to the internet to smart speakers powered by artificial intelligence. Internet-connected devices may provide useful real-time data about vital signs, eating patterns, workout regimens, and other details that would otherwise be unavailable.
