3. Integrated diagnosis that supports interdisciplinary collaboration.
Advances in integrated diagnostics will make it easier for health professionals across disciplines to exchange patient information. To help them work together more efficiently and effectively. It is like creating a ‘cockpit’ that is used to work together. It brings together relevant information from different domains. in the digital environment of Vendor-agnostic To support rapid and accurate diagnosis for patients
For example, In the case of cancer patients, receiving an accurate and early diagnosis It will help the treatment to see more good results. In this regard, experts in various fields They also gained further insight into how consistent their findings were. This creates a continuous feedback loop. This can help improve the efficiency of the diagnostic process.
4. Enhance collaboration for better tracking and coordination of care
Interoperability has been a longstanding challenge in public health. This is due to the complexity and fragmentation of health information technology and much of the health care data infrastructure. Public health executives on the Philips Future Health Index (FHI) 2023 report identified it as one of the top four success factors. To provide new approaches to care that combine in-person and virtual care in every setting.
New interoperability can bring together disparate medical devices and systems into a single interface to create a comprehensive, holistic view of a patient’s condition. This allows caregivers to confidently provide treatment recommendations from anywhere in the hospital. Helps reduce fluctuations caused by information overload. By the latest innovation such as virtual images of patients in the form of avatars. Can provide additional insights. By translating important but complex patient information into an easy-to-understand display.
5. Early risk detection and interventions based on predictive analytics.
Predictive analytics has been one of the trends in healthcare technology in recent years. By deriving operational and clinical insights from real-time and historical data. Predictive analytics can help healthcare providers improve efficiency and take proactive steps. The 2023 Philips Future Health Index (FHI) report shows how 39% of healthcare executives plan to: Will invest in AI to predict outcomes, increasing from 30% in 2021
Today, predictive analytics helps healthcare providers predict and manage patient flow at each point within their facility. This allows them to manage personnel resources where they are needed most. These capabilities have proven especially important during crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and are now becoming an essential part of hospital operations.
data-driven By continuously monitoring medical devices such as MR scanners, predictive analytics can also help identify Some hardware devices are due for maintenance or replacement, which accounts for 30% of service cases. Can be fixed and also helps prevent unexpected events in the event that the equipment stops working during the inspection.
The same is true in the clinical field. Predictive analytics can support early detection of patient health risks. By considering vital signs and other patient information together. These capabilities are especially useful in acute care. This may cause complications during this period. Predictive analytics can also help with remote care for patients at home.
For example, one study showed that This system can be used to help predict potentially fatal arrhythmias. By detecting risks early on Predictive analytics can shift from reactive care to preventive care. which ultimately results in the patient’s condition improving.
6. Using technology to address health disparities
There are still billions of people around the world without access to the public health services they need. Even in countries that have good funding for medical equipment Health disparities continue to increase. Requirements regarding An equitable and sustainable public health system Never has this become more urgent. In collaboration with Heart of Australia, the Hospital on Wheels project has brought diagnostic radiology such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT) to more remote areas.
7. Smart technology that helps create a healthy daily routine
For more than 15 years, technology like smartwatches has made exercise an increasingly popular and healthy lifestyle. It has also created a wider variety of smart health devices. Moreover, these devices can also detect vital signs.[1,2]- which shows that people have a need for public health technology that can fit seamlessly into their daily lives and can be customized to the user’s preferences and needs.
In 2024, it is expected that healthcare technology trends will continue to expand and drive healthier behaviors, such as encouraging people to take care of their oral health regularly. It is well known that [3] Oral health is important to overall health.
As people want to take better care of their own health and well-being, But there is still a lack of understanding and determination in taking care of oral hygiene on a daily basis. Therefore, there must be advice in this matter by The electric toothbrush is operated through AI connected to the application. It can collect toothbrushing data and provide personalized recommendations for users to adapt.
8. Address the environmental impact of healthcare IT.
From all the health technology trends mentioned above, it shows that Digital transformation has created a huge space for delivering more efficient and effective care through the use of algorithmic clinical decision-making and predictive analytics. For example, we can use data to deliver Actionable, personalized insights, such as alerting emergency care teams to potential problems or teaching them to promote healthy behaviors through an app
Digital solutions are clearly scalable. Therefore, it helps support wider protection. Including helping to reduce the cost of screening and care. It also helps to adapt the care model of a large hospital to being able to provide care in the home, which can help reduce some costs. Because currently there are still 3.5 billion people around the world who still do not have access to a public health system.
Digital healthcare technologies can thus help expand access to much-needed sustainable healthcare models. It is very encouraging to see the growth trend of health technology companies. medical equipment Suppliers and other stakeholders are working together to ensure the right decisions are made to reduce the ongoing environmental impact of healthcare IT in 2024 and beyond.
9. Green transformation of the healthcare supply landscape
To meet the urgency of reducing carbon emissions in public health We see more potential trends in health tech companies. Public health systems and other stakeholders who work together to drive sustainable performance in all sectors of the public health system. Including management, innovation, service and delivery.
One of the most impactful sustainability changes is taking place in procurement, in part due to the significant expansion of ESG disclosure requirements globally. Green procurement will transform the procurement landscape. Health care will continue to increase in the coming years.
Criteria for prioritizing procurement of medical equipment and healthcare technology solutions, such as those developed by Philips
1. Ensure that suppliers report their environmental impacts and plan to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Focus on circulating public health technology equipment and solutions.
3. Require suppliers to be transparent about product performance and EcoDesign for products and equipment.
4. Require suppliers to demonstrate how their digital offerings support carbon and material reductions by optimizing resources and workflow efficiency.
5. Require suppliers to publicly report their social impacts.
From now on Adopting sustainable procurement standards like these will be an essential strategy for medical device companies and governments looking to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss. along with protecting human health and promoting health care equity.
10. Work together to reduce public health impacts on the world.
Health systems are part of a broader value chain – starting from the upstream industry through operations, logistics, use phases and finishing downstream. which has a huge impact on biodiversity through land use, pollution, consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
This is because there is widespread awareness of the health effects of the environment on people’s health. We will see a continued trend of health systems adopting more aggressive strategies to reduce their environmental impact, such as shifting to resource-efficient public health technologies and smart digital solutions, or deploying targeted Science-based greenhouse gas emissions reductions – Mandatory targets for all California companies worth more than $1 billion by 2025.
However, amplified natural risks may be overlooked as organizations believe that the financial impact of climate risks outweighs risks such as Deforestation or water pumping The latter has a serious impact on the health of the population. Therefore, it is expected to see an increasing trend in adopting ‘Natural Cost Assessment’ is used to support better decision-making about resource use management and companies dedicated to achieving the science-based goals for nature that Philips has developed programs to. Increase the ecological value of traces of production impacts.
In February 2022, Morgan Stanley reported that ‘There is no doubt that the growing water crisis is forcing every industry to rethink its water use.’ Philips is not a water-intensive company. However, as many of our production facilities are located in regions with water problems, we have initiated a project to reduce total water consumption by 5% from 2019 water levels.
Views from around the world The biodiversity footprint of a single organization may not be very large. But unlike greenhouse gas emissions, when reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone will have a direct effect, and ecosystem restoration will be more effective if the fragmentation begins together. Especially in this area Working together throughout the value chain is important.
