Medical software can detect errors such as contraindications and allergies, provide reports, and identify patterns and trends, allowing diagnoses and treatments to be completed faster.
FREMONT, CA: Senior care is a growing industry with plenty of new technological prospects, especially since the stereotype that the elderly don't use technology is false. The senior-caregiving community is embracing digital innovation, and seniors themselves are increasingly using technology. Here are three popular trends in senior care:
Telemedicine
Telemedicine, one of the fastest-growing sectors in senior-care technology, allowing medical professionals and loved ones to get a more in-depth and comprehensive picture of the health and well-being of the elderly in their care. Remote monitoring and videoconferencing are possible with this technology, allowing a doctor to stay on top of patient care with fewer office visits. Doctors, caregivers, and patients can obtain information such as blood pressure, blood glucose levels, heart rate, activity, and sleep habits via medical alert systems and wearable monitors.
Software And Web-Based Programs
EMRs and EHRs have taken over the paper charts used in doctor's offices with digital records to keep track of patient data, diagnoses, and treatments.
