The number of digital technology uses in the health sector is multiplying. We seek to modernise operating theatres, facilitate medication, and shorten hospitalisation periods to relieve the burden on healthcare centres without harming the patients. Patients are monitored remotely and assisted during recovery, as digital technology allows health professionals to collect data on the patients’ medical condition.
This wireless connected patch was developed for hospitals in order to monitor patients from their homes. The patient wears it directly on his or her skin. Vital signs such as heart-rate, respiration, and temperature are measured every two minutes and sent to the hospital by internet, allowing patient monitoring after clinical or chirurgical interventions.
My Hospi Friends This app allows patients to meet other people in the same healthcare centre. It complements the entertainment offered by the centre in order to improve the well-being of the patients, who can talk to each other, create ties and take a break from discussing their pathological condition, which is too often the prevailing theme during patient recovery.
Today, the rise of 3D printing, particularly of the new materials that can be used, allows us to create copies of a patient’s organs in order to identify anomalies more easily when scanners are not enough. In the United States, thanks to this technology, a new-born baby with a heart condition was diagnosed and treated.
