The year 2021 has seen quite a number of innovations. The demand for better handling, and more efficient systems have made technical improvement a necessity. Sectors such as education and healthcare have seen significant changes in the past couple of years.

There has been a global rise in focus on healthcare technology as the nations have increased investment in the sector. To meet the needs of patients better and manage the workload of healthcare workers, a number of trends lay ahead for the future.  Read more to know these trends.

1.    AI based automation

One sector that needs automation at the earliest is the healthcare industry. The past years have repeatedly shown the shortage of staff and time hospitals face, especially during some crisis. The routine functions such as transporting the critical patients from entrance to the OT could be easily done by automating the manual work. Same goes with the administrative work of filling in symptoms and appointment details. Apps and digital attendants that take routine check-ups, take follow-ups after discharge are some of the most anticipated trends of the coming times.

2.    Digital therapeutics

It is possible for software programs to detect, manage, and treat diseases using the digital therepeutics. They are products with evidence based therapy interventions that are driven by softwares. Well programmed software programs that help manage diseases or a particular set of diseases are could help doctors treat more number of patients. It benefits both the patient and the clincians by providing outcomes more efficiently.

3.    Remote Monitoring and Symptom Tracking

The medical technologies are continuously in upgradation. One of the most important upgradation in which there’s always scope for improvement is communication. Not just any but an efficient medicine based communication. Some complex illnesses require constant monitoring and contact with the nursing staff. This could be done by wearable devices that continuously monitor health data and also remind them about their medications. These devioces could be connected to the health care provider systems for monitoring and symptom tracking. This system could be of great help especially for mental health treatments.

4.    Nanorobotics

Medicinal technology has made considerable progress for more efficient drug transfer mechanisms. An anticipated change that could improvise treatments for the better is the nanorobotic technology for drug transfer. These drug delivery systems rely on blood flow to reach the target using the automated nanorobots. This mechanism has excellent prospects for the coming times, specially usable for the complex diseases. These nanorobots are driven by magnetic, electric or acoustic forces. Chemical reaction energy is another kind of energy that could be of help here.

Conclusion

The trends in medical science are continuously advancing. As 2021 ends, we have many problems that need some looking into. AI based automation, nanorobotics, digital tracking, telemedicine are just some of the trends that should be expected in future.

To have an expertise in these advanced mechanics, it is important to have a good knowledge. For this, the IIHMR Delhi offers courses such as Health Informatics. Another full time PGDM course is the Hospital and Health Management. These courses could act as a base for a good medical career.
