Living your life to the fullest should no longer be limited by a chronic health condition, thanks to the latest advancements in healthcare technology.
Continuous remote monitoring joining forces with the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized digital healthcare, presenting a niche domain called Digital Therapeutics or “DTx”.
Remote monitoring technology collects and transmits the patient’s data to the treating doctor & the healthcare team, bridging geographies of any distance. “IoMT” is the interconnected network of medical devices that uses the internet to communicate data.
DTx enablement has sidelined outdated approaches to healthcare by drastically reducing the need for hospital visits yet enabling the doctor to oversee his/her patients’ progress while making patients participate actively in their care and showcase it to their doctors.
Healthcare data can now be gathered, analysed, and interpreted in real-time, thanks to the seamless ecosystem created by Digital Therapeutics.
This blog explores how the winning combo of continuous monitoring of health vitals and the IoMT,
- Transform patient-doctor relationships
- Enhance healthcare outcomes
- Empower individuals to take charge of their well-being
Let’s delve a little deeper into the world of IoMT…
Wearable fitness trackers, smartwatches, and home health monitors, continuously collect key health vitals data of the patient, including heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, sleep patterns, and more.
This saves the patient the hassles of periodic hospital/clinic visits to update his/her health status to the treating doctor…
…who, in turn, is saved the time and effort spend in the outpatient department, which he/she can spend more productively and efficiently in crucial areas of patient care and clinical outcomes.
With both the physician and the patient onboarded on the DTx platform, the former is presented the advantage to detect potential health issues in the latter early on.
With this, the treating doctor is equipped with the virtual superpower to identify trends and intervene promptly if there are any signs of deterioration or exacerbation of a condition, and deploy immediate treatment adjustments, reducing the risk of complications and re-hospitalizations.
With the physician-patient gap now categorically closed, DTx progress to the next level: Personalized Precision Care.
