HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

  • The Magic Of Breakthrough Technology: A Case Of Disrupting The Pediatric Space
    7/3/2019

    Children have entirely distinctive needs as compared to adults. Care is delivered to them in a manner entirely different from adults by care teams that hardly ever double-up as providers for the elderly. In fact, we hear numerous stories of organizations that transformed their care delivery by fabricating children-specific strategies and have been really successful in doing so. However, very few experts ever discuss how little thought we put when it comes to developing healthcare technologies tailored to the specific needs of pediatric organizations.

    Sixty-two percent of patients consider online reviews important or very important when making a choice in the healthcare sector.

    12/11/2019

    Smartphones have become so impactful in our day-to-day lives that it’s hard to remember life without them. For instance, imagine driving to a city for the first time and trying to navigate the streets without GPS.

Not only do wheelchairs, imaging equipment and pacemakers qualify as medical devices, but so do health monitoring apps and digital health trackers. Thanks to the advancements of the digital age, “hospital at home” is the trend. The industry is moving towards a connected care environment where devices that capture data, applications that derive insights from that data and apps that deliver personalized suggestions have become the critical driving factors. Nevertheless, the industry is also fueled by globalization, competition and demand for more advanced treatments. Sensors are at the heart of every device, from small bandages to implants.

  • Improving Patient Care Through Streamlined, Digital Collaboration
    4/2/2019

    In the healthcare industry, it often feels as if the sand is shifting under your feet. Economic, political, market and social forces fluctuate constantly, creating deep uncertainty, while the rapid pace of technological change leaves organizations struggling to catch up. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are common and complicated. The system’s structure (or lack thereof) contributes as well. The sheer complexity of the landscape and the number of entities involved – patients, providers, insurers, regulatory bodies, governmental layers, political factions and more – make objectives like continuity of care particularly challenging.
