The Impact

The conventional model of the healthcare system has become obsolete now. With the evolution of the digital era, new advanced technologies and service platforms are highly in demand now. One such technology is the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) which is a sub division of Internet of Things. It allows rapid proliferation of the information from the various interconnected devices through the help of wifi or cloud. This technology is both patient centric and organisation driven. It has become a mandatory for the organisation to implement this technology as without this, the organisations would be facing great challenges to meet the demand of the industry. This technology allows optimal service production with minimal cost investment. In this paper we will try to find out the scope and opportunities of IoMT in Indian health care sector and the impact of IoMT on increasing efficiencies of healthcare management. As statistical tools, Multiple Regression and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) have been used in this study.

The digital era has arrived in healthcare. Health-care consumers, including neurosurgery patients, are increasingly using social media and other digital technologies to meet their health-care needs. In this work, we describe an illustrative case from Mayo Clinic where interlacing social media strategies are leveraged to educate and engage patients. These strategies not only provide a valuable service to patients but they also reinforce the brand and serve as a marketing tool. Other digital technologies such as health-care apps and telemedicine are also adaptations that help meet the needs of the current neurosurgical patient. Similar to consumer trends in other service industries, these technologies provide patients with greater autonomy, convenience, and personalization. The digital era in health care presents an exciting opportunity for health-care organizations and providers to innovate, evolve, and improve the health of our patients.
