“Digital health tools were demonstrated to aid cardiac rehabilitation patients in losing more weight, as well as alleviate stress for those without access to such technological solutions.”
Digital health innovations such as remote monitoring, smart applications and patient portals enable industry professionals to treat cardiovascular disorders far more effectively than through traditional technological means.
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death globally, with health authorities estimating that nearly 4/5ths of cardiovascular-related demises and red-alert health concerns occurring among Middle Eastern residents requiring expert UAE medical services.
Prevalence rates among males tend to outnumber females, often caused by sudden diet shifts, genetic anomalies and vulnerabilities, lifestyle factors like prosperity and royal lifestyle, marriage rates and certain medical experts have identified correlations with increased marriage rates; prompting medical experts and healthcare industries worldwide to explore possible causes and solutions. Unfortunately, lack of healthcare specialists and high costs of devices like pacemakers, defibrillators and stents makes matters even more challenging, adding another level of stress when trying to overcome them.
Cardiovascular diseases are chronic issues that demand immediate and sustainable solutions. Digital health technology offers one solution by complementing and supplementing existing medical technology in treating cardiovascular issues. Here is how digital health technology can assist:
Mobile-based medical and doctor’s apps can offer instantaneous updates of relevant statistics and healthcare-related data for their patients 24/7. Irrespective of geography, these smart health applications allow two-way communication between medical professionals and patients so as to better address a particular disease or medical anomaly while offering appropriate solutions in real time.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring takes into account specific health details about patients from their home through sensors and transmission relays that share them with healthcare professionals to assist them in effectively managing disease remotely while remaining out of sight of danger.
One of the most notable remote patient monitoring projects utilizes interactive voice response and tele-monitoring technology, relieving in-house medical personnel of 44% in regards to cardiovascular patient readmissions while simultaneously improving healthcare outcomes significantly.
Many tools and solutions offer comprehensive remote monitoring and healthcare solutions, gathering details from over 20 sensors that monitor health, cardiovascular activity and safety conditions of their patients.
Patient Portals
Online healthcare applications that facilitate interactions between patients and providers as well as developers of doctor’s apps, such as those provided by primary healthcare service providers or developers of doctor apps are known as patient portals. Some are connected directly with provider’s core IT system while other serve as stand-in websites for the ultimate convenience and availability for patients, doctors, healthcare workers or anyone involved with medicine.
These portals enable the wireless, continuous sharing of health data collected from wearable and implanted devices between physicians, patients, and healthcare providers, enabling them to review it quickly and make timely decisions, leading to effective treatment with reduced costs.
Electronic and digital health records and patient portals do pose privacy concerns; however, more developing nations are keen on adopting them and revising their existing privacy laws so they can experience wide spread adoption in near future.
Digital health and online medical services help governments and organisations by making it easier for healthcare providers to make critical decisions, providing relevant details of patients in real time without geographical barriers preventing unnecessary hospital admissions, while simultaneously helping staff provide more personalised solutions and services to patients.
Research by Mayo Clinic showed that cardiac patients supplementing their cardiac therapy with digital health tools tend to lose more weight during supplementation with digital health tools, with patients readily accepting both mobile and web-based platforms for these technologies proving their efficacy over time.
