The term “digital twin” refers to the digital version of a physical device or process. By bridging the physical and the virtual worlds, data is transmitted seamlessly allowing the virtual entity to exist simultaneously with the physical device or process. Digital twins are emerging as virtual test beds for
possible solutions before they implement physical devices. These computer-based models are fed individual and population data and mimic the electrical and physical properties of an object.
Medical device companies are using this technology to simulate how their devices are being used in the

The technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare have greatly changed the way people view and interact with the healthcare system. They have also led to the reduction of costs and the increasing efficiency of the system. We expect that the future of healthcare will continue to be influenced by information technology.
Due to the technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare, physicians are now able to spend less time with their patients. This has allowed them to provide more effective and efficient care to their patients. In the future, we can expect that the increasing number of specialists who can delegate their work to other doctors will have a significant impact on the healthcare system. The increasing efficiency of doctors is expected to have a significant impact on the shortage of specialist physicians in the future. This issue could be solved using technology. Hopefully, the use of information technology can help boost the number of specialist physicians (Patric, 2022).
Electronic health records have revolutionized the way healthcare is done. Despite the progress that has been made in terms of keeping and tracking these records, they are still not widely used yet. This means that the kind of growth that was expected from the adoption of these records has not materialized. Although the adoption of electronic health records has been made in various parts of the world, it’s still not widely used in all areas. This means that the ability to keep track of one’s medical history is still very important (Patric, 2022).
The increasing importance of information technology in healthcare has led to the prediction that the cost of healthcare will eventually come down. Various factors such as better accessibility and efficiency will help make healthcare more affordable and more effective.
It’s widely believed that keeping one's health is much cheaper and easier than treating a.
IDC White Paper - Integrated Patient Record - Empowering Patient Centric Care...buntib
Despite the growing use of electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchange (HIE) technologies, providers and payers still face challenges with regard to accessing all the information known about a given patient or member. Patient health information can be trapped in siloed healthcare information systems, paper-based documents and processes, or non-machine-readable documents. An integrated view of patient information improves the experience of clinicians by enabling them to better serve their patients, which in turn leads to better outcomes. The ability to create comprehensive patient-centric records is crucial for improving not only quality of care but also patient safety.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT US HEALTH CARE IN THE FUTURE 9
The factors that may affect US health care in the future
Jack Alcineus

Dr. Simone Martin
Introduction
The global health care industry has been growing fast in recent years, and the trend seems to go on perpetually. In the United States, expenditure on health care is in excess of 15% of the national gross domestic product (GDP). This, according to Deloitte, is the highest amount of expenditure on health care the world over. Further, the United States has a large population of people under insurance where only 15% do not have insurance. To be sure, an American either has private insurance or is covered by government-funded programs like the one fronted by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This is quite necessary for a country where a single major medical bill is enough to send one into personal bankruptcy.
Interestingly, most of the American population is entering the geriatric phase of life fueled by the aging baby boomers. Further, Ikegami (2015) wrote that the US health care system is in the process of shifting from the situation where only the volume of patients treated mattered. This system relied on fees for service and which gave healthcare providers the revenue incentive to reach more patients. To be sure, the healthcare sector is shifting a value-based system where the value delivered to the patient will take center stage (Burwell, 2015).
Therefore, it is apparent that the healthcare sector will experience fundamental changes in terms of quality of service, a volume of people accessing healthcare services and the general healthcare situation across all the 50 states. In this light, this paper intends to highlight factors that will affect healthcare in the future and in what direction will these factors move the sector in general.
Demographic and social factors
The US might be among the developed economy countries that are aging the slowest but the population is still graying. In 2010, Pew Research Center said that 13% of Americans were 65 years of age or older. At the same time, the firm projected that this cohort would grow up to take up 18% of the American population by 2030 (Cohn & Taylor, 2014, April 10). Once people get older, their productivity drops significantly and they begin to experience a lot more medical complications than before.
To be sure, the aging population will add a huge strain to the healthcare sector in terms of geriatric care as well as complications tied to old age. Once a nation has a huge population of old people, there will be a high demand of healthcare services which, basically, imply that healthcare providers will be on high demand (Keehan, Stone, Poisal, Cuckler, Sisko, Smith... & Lizonitz, 2017). Interestingly, the increased demand will also lead to a higher demand for labor force in the sector to carry out duties like geriatric care, to provide physical therapy and other tasks like providing aid for ol.

Healthcare spending is not growing at all. Healthcare systems can only be sustained with significant structural and transformative changes. According to the World Health Organization, healthcare systems need a greater workforce. Although 40 million jobs could be created by the global economy in the health sector by 2030, the World Health Organization projects that there will still be a 9.9 million shortfall in physicians, nurses, and midwives worldwide over the same time period.

Chronic diseases – a shift from predominantly infectious disease threats to predominantly chronic
diseases, often exacerbated by lifestyle. Population aging increases the number of patients with
heart disease, cancer, diabetes, lung and kidney disorders, Alzheimer’s, and overweightness. These
issues hinder productivity and are expensive and difficult to treat, requiring behavior changes.
Today, 63 percent of the world’s deaths are from non-communicable diseases (non-infectious; not
transmitted by humans).4
Low- to middle-income countries now carry roughly 80 percent of the
burden of diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases.5
Global shortage of healthcare workers. The U.S. alone is projected to face a shortage of 124,000
physicians by the year 2025, yet this pales in comparison with the needs in Asia and Africa.6
On top of demographic and workforce problems, the healthcare sector is dramatically
inefficient. Even if healthcare services were delivered efficiently, it would be extraordinarily
difficult for a shortage of medical professionals to care for greater numbers of sicker people over
the next several decades. Yet by all accounts, there are hundreds of billions of dollars in wasteful
spending that need to be squeezed out of healthcare systems worldwide.
With the rise of the internet culture, there is a shift from passive to active patients. Patients and
families are more engaged and digitally monitored by a growing array of apps and devices. The
Intel Healthcare Innovation Barometer, an eight-nation, 12,000-adult survey last year,7
revealed:
80 percent are optimistic about healthcare through innovation and technology.
70 percent are willing to see a doctor via video conference for non-urgent appointments.
70 percent are receptive to using toilet sensors, prescription bottle sensors, or swallowed
health monitors.
50 percent believe the traditional hospital will be obsolete in the future, and would trust a
test they personally administered as much or more than if performed by a doctor.
Health apps, social networks, and collaboration tools are growing rapidly. Enterprise and
consumer health apps will continue to proliferate, shake out. Parks Associates indicates that 28
percent of U.S. broadband households have used some type of virtual care communication tool, and
estimates the figure will grow to 65 percent by 2018.8

Three categories are emerging for IoT healthcare: Person to Person, Person to Computer, and
Person as a Computer.
Person to Person: Dulcie Madden of Mimo developed an infant monitor that sends parents
real-time information on their baby’s breathing, skin temperature, sleeping position, and
activity level. Mimo sends the baby’s sleep data straight to her parents’ smartphones.
Person to Computer: Vigilant, a Swiss company, has developed a smart insulin injection tracker
to help diabetic patients manage their health. The injection tracker, called Bee+, is an
electronic cap that fits most insulin pens on the market. It wirelessly transmits a diabetic’s
insulin injection data to a smartphone app.
Person as Computer: Myo (pictured right) uses the electrical
activity in your muscles to wirelessly control your computer, phone,
and other favorite digital technologies. With a wave of your hand,
Myo will transform how you interact with your digital world. The
technology is by Thalmiclabs, an Intel Capital investment.
Policy Principles
The potential for IoT and consumer engagement to dramatically improve health status/outcomes
is limited by policies defined by face to face transactions. The shift is beginning and we urge
Congress and the Administration to embrace new healthcare models by tackling difficult policy
decisions.
Require Data Standards for Connectivity and Interoperability
IoT in healthcare has the potential to aggregate data from patient records, wearable
sensors, labs, diet, the environment, and social networking in real time, but only if thes
data can be analyzed. This takes standardized data formats. Policymakers should
strengthen current requirements for data exchange among EHR’s and the emerging IoT
devices/solutions.
Regulate Smartly/Don’t De-Innovate
The regulation of software as a medical device has created confusion and missteps for
health IT entrepreneurs. Today, Congress, regulators, and industry are collaborating to find
the best regulatory framework through initiatives like the Food and Drug Administration
Safety Innovation Act (FDASIA) to better define what attributes of technology are subject
to FDA device regulation.
4. 4
Regulatory pathways should be refined to reflect health technologies that are not medical
devices. This will require alternative frameworks to ensure functionality and safety.
Re-Think Reimbursement
IoT provides a new platform for capturing daily biometric data
that shows trends and changes in health status in real time.
However, this rich and actionable data is not being used today
because our health systems are unprepared to incorporate the
data into the fee for service payments, or shared savings
models. Even the Accountable Care Organizations which have
incentives to offer innovative services, are restricted by
outdated Medicare regulations which dictate that payment for
virtual services is only for patients living in rural areas (20
percent of U.S.), and will not pay for services at home and
certainly not “on the go.”
Healthcare IoT solutions poised to change access and outcomes
for chronically ill patients are now delayed not by technology,
but by the lack of payment where virtual care is substituted
and enhanced over face to face visits.
Capture Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) as a Vital Part of the Patient Record
The $27B investment made by the U.S. Government in electronic medical records has
spurred unparalleled adoption rates – 78 percent of physicians and 66 percent of our
nation’s qualifying hospitals have been certified. Yet, the real time data from sensors,
tablets, smartphones, and peripherals are not captured in the EHR. Physicians can now
diagnose a patient’s medical condition from daily feeds provided by IoT devices noting
changes in environment, diet, exercise, and medications, giving more accurate and
longitudinal data rather than through readings from occasional office visits. HHS should
address the issues of liability and data overload associated with PGHD and then
recommend best practices for all future EHR regulations, to include PGHD.
Privacy and Security Required for IoT solutions
According to the Office of Civil Rights in HHS, 199 PHI breaches were reported in 2013
affecting 7 million patient records. The need for security today in HIPAA covered entities is
pervasive and as health information transfers between consumer and enterprise devices,
message-level data encryption, API management, and data tokenization will become
essential. HHS should continue to work with the healthcare industry to achieve agreement
on a universally accepted health IT security standard or principals that can be enforceable
and agree on criteria that deems organizations “HIPAA Security Rule Compliant.”
Virtual Care Improves Quality
& Reduces Costs
With funding from a federal Beacon
Community grant, St. Vincent Health
worked with Intel-GE Care
Innovations™ to test a remote care
management program designed to
reduce readmissions. Findings of the
study, which concluded in 2012,
show a 64% reduction in hospital
readmissions compared to the study
control group. Through daily
telemonitoring of patients’
biometrics (blood pressure, body
weight, and oxygen saturation) and
periodic videoconferencing, patients
and their nurses were able to
recognize any “red flags” and help
address health problems before they
became serious enough to require
re-hospitalization.
