Technology is becoming harder and harder to resist, and while some technological developments have their critics, others have been very much revolutionary for the better. The latter description is likely to be applied to the technological changes being projected for the healthcare industry.
One such development is the ability for doctors to ‘visit’ patients in their homes through virtual means in hologram form, meaning that neither doctor nor patient has to alter their location. To give you an idea of the potential impact of this technology, an average reduction in such visits by just five minutes can liberate almost $58 million in physician capacity, equivalent to 320 new doctors being made available.
This certainly appears to be the way that healthcare is going, and the entire industry is likely to be much the better for it. For more on the future of healthcare, take a look at this infographic from Home Healthcare Adaptations
