This concept is an umbrella term for mHealth apps, wearable devices, electronic health records, electronic medical records, telemedicine, telehealth, etc.
According to the Data Protection Report, 2021, there was a 73% increase in healthcare cybercrime and data breaches in 2020, exposing 12 billion units of healthcare information.
Smartphones or mobile phones have evolved from communication and entertainment devices to health and wellness monitoring devices. According to the Pew Research Center, by 2021, 97.0% of U.S. residents will own smartphones.
Companies are developing innovative mobile applications to track daily activities such as well-being, exercise, nutrition, and development, thereby providing excellent medical services and comfort to customers.
Besides, users can acquire data from mobile applications about clinical requests, plan arrangements, track interviews, store their medical care data, and track and request their clinical solutions.
Additionally, For the past 5 to 6 years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most prominent digital platforms in healthcare. IoT has evolved to the point where it is significantly transforming the healthcare sector by facilitating various activities such as efficient tracking of staff, patients, and inventories; optimizing drug prescription; ensuring availability of critical medical equipment; and addressing chronic diseases.
The evolution and deployment of big data play a significant part in enabling an uninterrupted tailored digital experience by assisting a service provider in optimizing resources and time to provide superior healthcare services.
