DIGITAL HEALTH

                                                         DIGITAL HEALTH
Digital health is the convergence of digital technologies with health, healthcare, living, and society to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make medicines more personalized and precise.Digital health is concerned about the development of interconnected health systems to improve the use of computational technologies, smart devices, computational analysis techniques and communication media to aid healthcare professionals and patients manage illnesses and health risks, as well as promote health and wellbeing.
Digital Heaith technologies include both hardware and software solutions and services, including telemedicine, web-based analysis, email, mobile phones and applications, text messages, wearable devices, and clinic or remote monitoring sensors.

 Impacts Of Digital Transformation On Healthcare

1. Increasing Patient Engagement Through Technology

In general, patients that already wish to be engaged in their treatment decision-making process, and those who are engaged as decision-makers in their care tend to be healthier and have better outcomes as a result. New health technologies such as Telemedicine are now playing a huge role in the relationship between providers and patients, But Digital Transformation is also encouraging patient engagement via:
  • Open Access Electronic Health Records for Patients
  • Engaging with clients over Social Media
  • Online Chat forums for patients to use for instant advice
  • Email communications and e-check ups from doctors

2.Artificial Intelligence in Health

Artificial Intelligence is the process whereby machines & ‘robots’ can exhibit logic or make decisions in line with that of a Human being. In healthcare, a key area of this can be in the form of diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and process automation.
A great example of the value of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare is in the decision making process for prescription. In this case, there are more than 800 medicines and vaccines currently available as an option for cancer treatment. This holds a negative impact on the doctors, as there are too many options to choose from. This choice ends up making it more difficult to choose the right drugs for the patients. Using Artificial Intelligence, Microsoft is currently working on a project to develop a machine called "Hanover”, with the goal to memorize all the papers necessary to cancer diagnoses and help predict which combinations of drugs will be most effective for each patient.  
3.Wearables and IoT
Wearables, or Wearable Devices, refer to electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated into items of clothing and accessories which can comfortably be worn on the body. Naturally, the rise of Wearable technology has major implications for Healthcare, with the ability to monitor heartrates, fitness levels, and even check blood pressure.
Health organizations, including doctors, hospitals and health insurance companies, are the most trusted when referring wearables to their customers. The ability to share information in real-time with providers makes health-focused wearables some of the most popular in the field, and have numerous applications:

  • Sleep Apps for getting a good night's rest
  • Tracking steps, sleep & heart rates for exercise
  • Monitoring your Blood Pressure
  • Measuring your Body Temperature
  • Alerting care providers to emergencies at home

4. Health Apps

Health apps are a part of the movement towards mobile health (mHealth) programs in health care. Made for smart devices such as mobiles and tablets, Health apps can be used to monitor health, track activity, or notify care providers, should a certain measure be exceeded/emergency health issue come into play. 
Apps like 'Push Doctor' allow patients to immediately receive an e-consultation for a small fee. These apps massively increase accessibility, particularly for patients who may be house-bound,  bed-ridden, or physically unable to get to a GP. 
Health apps can also be used for:
  • Tracking fitness targets & activity
  • Medication Adherence
  • Digital Mental Health Apps
  • Instant Consultations
  • Emergency Assistance Notifications

6. 3D Printing in Healthcare

3D printing, part of additive manufacturing, involves the production of three dimensional solid objects which have been designed from a digital file and produced through a printer which uses a layering technique to create the final object. This development is one of the more incredible innovations in the HealthTech world.
Examples of 3D printing in Healthcare include:
  • 3D Prosthetics
  • 3D Printed Skin for Burn Victims
  • 3D Splints for Children
  • 3D Organs, though this is still in a very early stage.

Here, King Solomon’s                                                 palace with his golden throne. Source: jw.org. Having ruled on or around 970BCE, the legendary King Solomon is arguably one of the most recognizable characters within the pages of the Old Testament. The third King of Israel, Solomon was a renowned ruler that oversaw a growth from a single state into a venerable superpower of the Middle East in biblical times. During his near four decade regency, the King had a reputation not too dissimilar to that of a certain James Bond. King Solomon had another aspect to his legend. That was his immense wealth from gold that historians say came from the lost mine of Ophir somewhere in the Middle East. By today’s standards, Solomon was reputed to have a personal fortune in excess o
