The birth of remote health has been a goal for a long time. The elimination of geographic barriers to care can result in more timely, more efficient and optimal results, as well as significant cost savings. Remote health technologies can allow the care of both the physically disabled and the most vulnerable to infections.
Due to increased connectivity through mobile technology and consumer demand, hospitals are preparing for widespread adoption in 2018.
These technologies are also spreading beyond the bidirectional video platform. Now there are more patients equipped with devices that connect, record and report medical information to doctors to monitor their condition. It is estimated that more than 19 million patients will use these remote control devices for this year. Thanks to this impulse, experts believe that the emergency and acceleration of remote health technologies and services will be assured in 2018.
