Health
The healthcare sector faces complex challenges, such as an aging population, rising costs, managing large volumes of patient data, and the need for personalized care. Technology is a powerful ally, offering solutions such as:
Telemedicine
It expands access to specialists, which is valuable for patients in rural areas or with reduced mobility, in addition to facilitating the continuous monitoring of chronic diseases.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
It aids in faster and more accurate diagnoses.
AI algorithms can identify early signs of cancer in mammograms or diabetic retinopathy in fundus exams with high accuracy, surpassing human speed.
Surgical robots
Like the da Vinci system, they allow surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision, resulting in smaller incisions,
less pain, and faster recovery.
Electronic medical records (EHR)
They centralize patient information (medical history, allergies, test results), improving care coordination, reducing errors, and speeding up care.
Wearables
Smartwatches monitor vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns, proactively alerting you to potential health problems.
