6. Telemedicine
Telemedicine is improving diagnosing and
treatment by making it easier for patients to
get access to specialists, too. The availability of
electronic records has also made it simpler to
forward documents to specialists. In rural
areas, this can mean the difference between
having or not having expert input into a case.

7. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)
By combining IoT development with
telemedicine and telehealth technologies, a
new Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has
emerged. This approach includes the use of a
number of wearables, including ECG and EKG
monitors. Many other common medical
measurements can also be taken, such as skin
temperature, glucose level, and blood pressure
readings.

8. Cloud computing in healthcare
Patients and healthcare providers both tend to get
better access to records through cloud-based
solutions, and they make the consultation process
more convenient. These telemedicine applications,
though, place greater demand on synchronous and
asynchronous messaging systems. The desire to
integrate video for live consultations also creates
pressure to deploy WAN connections that are speedy,
secure and stable.

9. AR/VR/MR in healthcare
The arrival of virtual and augmented reality
solutions has led to significant advances in
healthcare technologies. Advances that could
only be imagined a decade ago are now being
implemented. From educating new students to
planning procedures, the field of AR and VR in
healthcare offers serious promise.

10. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare
This is one of the nascent healthcare
technology trends. Developing Artificial
Intelligence (AI) machines—that can process
information and provide decision-making data
in a manner similar to what a human does—
has given rise to an entirely new sector of
innovative health technologies. AI applications
can improve the speed and accuracy of the
diagnosis process.

11. Chatbots
Dealing with routine queries using AI-
backed messaging and voice systems can
help organizations realize cost savings. In
healthcare, the capacity to address easily
diagnosed problems allows professionals
to focus on matters that might require
the full attention of a physician. Patients
also benefit from feeling that simply
questions have been fielded.

12. Data Science and predictive analytics
Working with a patient who has a chronic
disease can generate a great deal of
information, but discovering and compressing
all the available data into something actionable
can be a challenge. Improvements in data
science and predictive analytics, however, have
made it possible for practitioners to look for
deeper insights.

13. Blockchain
Distributing transaction records through a
peer-to-peer system with a shared digital
ledger is a way to improve the availability and
integrity of information. Blockchain
technologies allow large numbers of users to
faithfully and securely have access to a
common ledger, all without requiring a basis
for trust between parties.
