Healthcare Tech That We Can Expect to See in Hospitals in 2019 - Medicalopedia

The health system is prone to cyber-attacks and other forms of cyber mischief just like any other industry so, naturally, leaders in the health industry are doing whatever they can to adequately respond to all the challenges put before them.With that in mind, we can safely say that they are looking for a new opportunity with each coming year as modern technology advances rapidly. With Google, Amazon, and Apple finding their way into healthcare, these leaders are expressing some optimism about future healthcare tech such as telehealth services but still have to invest to defend against cyber-attacks. According to a recent survey, telehealth and cybersecurity are among three top areas of health IT for 2019 as these IT technologies, along with artificial intelligence,machine learning, and the rise of chatbots will have the most impact on healthcare in the years to come. Digital health solutions will continue to go far beyond the traditional healthcare system, especially in 2019, and these solutions will significantly empower individuals to better care and manage their own health. It's expected that digital health spendings will cross $25 billion globally by the end of the next year.
