Connected Health

An expert discusses the combination of RPM and artificial intelligence, with examples of how tools are being developed and used today to improve patient access and expand virtual care.

A maternal fetal medicine physician at Children's Hospital Colorado shares a virtual care success story, with telemedicine delivering critical care for high-risk pregnancies across a vast region of the state and beyond.

Smart hospital and AI innovations take centre stage at the HIMSS24 Asia-Pacific Health Conference on 1-4 October in Seoul, South Korea.

The convergence of physician shortages, efficient use of hospital beds and hybrid working models contributes to the growth of inpatient telemedicine. The health system's programs address critical constraints and boost patient outcomes.

The company's digital health tools – smart scales, blood pressure monitors and other wearables – allow patients to monitor their health at home, says Antoine Robiliard, VP at Withings.

Overburdened Wi-Fi networks may not be sufficient to meet these needs and cellular signals can vary in strength within a building, impacting patient care and experiences.

Resilient connectivity across your facility is necessary for healthcare organizations (HCOs) to support strategic technology initiatives like telemedicine, IoT devices, EHRs, imaging, and patient entertainment. However, many HCOs rely on WiFi and outdoor cellular towers, a legacy approach that often results in slow data speeds, frustrated patients and staff, and rising maintenance costs.

Artificial intelligence is helping improve remote patient monitoring technology, with especially promising applications focused on diabetes. One CEO discusses the quality and cost-efficiency promise of "the next generation of remote care."
