There are a multitude of ways health systems can use technology to make patients more comfortable and improve their overall experience, according to Forbes.
Here are five healthcare technologies improving patient experiences:
1. Telemedicine. Telemedicine can allow patients to have more access to care and can make treatment more convenient and less expensive.
2. Wearable technology. Wearable technology allows physicians to track their patients, which can be helpful when movement can help patients recover from a surgery faster.
3. Data. Analytics can help track patient trends, as well as disease progression.
4. Virtual networks. Providers can connect to each other to serve patients, breaking down the silos of patient data.
5. Employee feedback. Feedback systems that allow employees to give feedback on performance can help improve both patient and employee experience.
