Emerging technologies that can transform the future of healthcare

Answer by Nitin Suri:

Future healthcare solutions "exciting potential" would depend on where in the world you are- for instance , being able to provide timely , cheap and effective healthcare would be a plus in developing countries or being able to address ailments which affect many people. End to end patient healthcare with remote delivery of medical advise, diagnosis for rural/areas of poor infrastructure may be done  as a result of this.

In developed parts of the world, being able to self monitor and  react appropriately via medicines may be key.

This remote/self monitoring is a common thread and would be customised for both developing and developed worlds. Let's explore this further .

Self monitoring  might be done via probes, filling out data on phones, Or medical devises which can monitor patients' vital signs and raise alarms to patients,doctors and carers . If you are in the developed world- depending on the severity of the situation – medical despatch units may be sent , prescriptions may be ordered or medicine dosage may be modified. In the developing world, information to manage this may be sent.

Thanks for reading! Welcome to my blog.
About myself– I’m someone who is a dreamer and believes in the goodness of people.

Whenever someone asks me what they should blog about, I say it’s simple. Write about something you are passionate about- food , travel, work , family (not necessarily in that order). If you’re still stumped about what to blog about , a simple way would be to list out things you find interesting and fleshing that out. I’m not a paid blogger but these are things which would make sense to start off with.

My Top 5 lists about Lists:
5- My top 5 favourite Books of the year
4-My top 5 favourite Films of the year
3-My top 5 Food/Restaurants of the year
2-My top 5 Technology Trends of the year
1- My top 5 ways each one of us can make a difference
0-My top 5 Lists of Lists (So this is the 6th one, I clearly can’t count! ):)

Ok, so number 0 may or may not exist 🙂

I have deliberately started with the easiest ones to think about. I would love to hear what your thoughts would be as well?
