Answer:
These include electronic health record (EHR), self-service kiosks, telemedicine or telehealth, mobile health (mHealth), remote monitoring, pharmacogenomics or genome sequencing, sensors and wearable technology, and among others.
Explanation:
1. Electronic health record (EHR): This refers digital chart of a patient. It is a digital version of paper chart of a patient.
2. Self-service kiosks: this an interactive device that gives patient the opportunity to do health registration without a need to meet to meet any health officer. It helps in saving staff cost.
3. Telemedicine or telehealth: this allows health services and information like education, care, advice, monitoring, etc. to be provided remotely through electronic information and telecommunication technologies by the clinician to the patient.
4. Mobile health (mHealth): this gives the doctor and the patients the opportunity to monitor healthcare processes on-the-go using mobile devices.
5. Remote monitoring: this is the use of home monitoring system to monitor the health of the patients remotely which allow the patient to avid unnecessary visit to the office of the physician.
6. Pharmacogenomics or genome sequencing: This study the genetics make-up of individual and allows the physician to easily determine how a patient could possibly respond to therapeutic drugs.
7. Sensors and wearable technology: this is a technology that sends alert to a doctor when a patient falls down. It also include bondage that indicates how far a cut is healing or if it has been infected.
