| | October 201819FutureCybersecurity ­ With tons of data available at fingertips, aren't we sitting on a mine if we do not protect it with recent example of the ransomware attack on many organizations across the world which also included a few healthcare companies? Investing in security to protect confidential patient data is the need of the hour. Data Analytics ­ Another area that's being talked about immensely is the data analytics. The full potential of the amount of data that healthcare companies accumulate is yet to be ascertained. Data from healthcare can give deep insights into predicting disease trends and will also give a solution to the growing pressure to differentiate disease treatment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) ­ Although AI has time to gain momentum in sphere of healthcare, there is an increased requirement for specialized AI across verticals and key business processes. The use of AI can immensely be used in the field of radiology and telehealth. Such use of AI can actually help doctor/surgeon identify diseases what could be missed otherwise. Internet of Things (IoT) ­ With IoT, healthcare industry has the potential to give rise to medical applications such as remote health monitoring, fitness programs, chronic diseases that can connect, exchange patient information which can be accessible across devices. The IoT revolution will bring in technological revolution to healthcare that can ring in economic prospects too as IoT-based healthcare services will help better the quality of life and reduce cost at the same time.Genomics - Every individual has a unique genetic makeup and the use of genomics in decoding this can help in assessing the risk of a disease, characterize health condition and help in better management of disease. Genomic information with the help of technology can help in predicting disease outcomes in individuals; improve the quality of treatment result in cost savings by cut shorting the process of diagnosis. The healthcare information technology is currently passing through an exciting phase of innovation and action. Effective use of technology can change the method we currently approach the field of medicine. A lot is happening in the healthcare information technology space and we can only see things picking up in the future. So the next time when you see your doctor flipping out an electronic pen and writing on to what may look like a prescription book (it's a pad), don't be surprised...it's your data being stored digitally. With IoT, healthcare industry has the potential to give rise to medical applications such as remote health monitoring, fitness programs, chronic diseases that can connect, exchange patient information which can be accessible across devices
