Which are the major areas of healthcare influenced by technology? How has it empowered the stakeholders of healthcare to be more empowered?

Areas like biotechnology, pharma, information technology, the development of medical devices and equipment, Medical Nanobots, Genetics and more have all made significant contributions to improving the health of people all around the world. In the healthcare industry, the dependence on medical technology cannot be overstated. It is the result of these development and brilliant innovations that the healthcare practitioners can continue to find ways to improve their practice – from better diagnosis, surgical procedures, and improved patient care. Some of the latest examples are:

-- EMR (Electronic Medical Record) & HER (Electronic Health Records) on mobile devices on the job, physicians can now have access to any type of information they need – from drug information, research and studies, patient history or records, and more – within mere seconds.

-- Medical technologies like minimally-invasive surgeries, better monitoring systems, and more comfortable scanning equipment are allowing patients to spend less time in recovery and more time enjoying a healthy life.

-- The integration of medical equipment technology and telehealth has also created robotic surgeries, where in some cases, physicians do not even need to be in the operating room with a patient when the surgery is performed.

-- Medical scientists and physicians are constantly conducting research and testing new procedures to help prevent, diagnose, and cure diseases as well as developing new drugs and medicines that can lessen symptoms or treat ailments.
