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

  • Wearables Have To Evolve To Remain Relevant
    12/2/2015

    When wearables arrived on the stage a few years ago, they were mainly seen as devices peripheral to healthcare. Since then, their popularity has surged, primarily due to the increase in sales of fitness trackers and smart watches. Now, many believe the power of wearable technology could be the key to solving some of healthcare’s biggest challenges. Others, however, predict wearables are merely a passing fad that will soon fade. What’s clear is that in order to make the potential for wearables a reality, the application of the technology will need to change. So the time has come for the wearables’ manufacturers to fully grasp the importance of Darwin’s famous postulate — Evolve to Survive — and act accordingly. By Murtuza Mukadam, Virtusa Corporation

  • The Future Of Patient Safety Points To Technology
    6/11/2018

    Patient safety is one of the leading concerns within the healthcare industry worldwide.
