Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.9K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Assistive Technology
  • Emerging Technologies
  • Innovation Management

Background:

  • Limited global access to assistive technology (AT) is a significant challenge.
  • Emerging technologies present opportunities to develop novel AT solutions and improve accessibility.
  • Existing analyses of emerging technologies' potential in the AT field are scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of emerging technological developments relevant to the AT field.
  • To identify emerging enabling technologies and their potential applications in AT.
  • To analyze the patent landscape for emerging technologies in AT.

Main Methods:

  • Gray literature review to identify emerging enabling technologies.
  • Patent analysis to assess the intersection of emerging technologies and AT.
  • Categorization of identified technologies and their AT applications.

Main Results:

  • Seven key enabling technologies were identified: artificial intelligence, advanced human-computer interfaces, sensor technology, robotics, enhanced connectivity and computing, additive manufacturing, and new materials.
  • Over 3.7 million patents exist for these enabling technologies.
  • Only 11,000 patents (0.3%) were specifically identified as related to AT, indicating a gap and opportunity.

Conclusions:

  • Emerging technologies hold immense potential for developing innovative AT solutions.
  • The low percentage of AT-related patents suggests a nascent but promising field for technological integration.
  • Further research and development are warranted to capitalize on these advancements for improved AT access.
