Cristina Masella, Scientific Director of the Digital Innovation in Healthcare Observatory, explained during the 2020 awards presentation that “digital technology must help make the healthcare system more connected. Systems that leverage Artificial Intelligence – she continues – collect, integrate, and enhance data from patients and facilities so that it becomes a concrete advantage for the entire national healthcare system.”
This transition should help everyone understand the importance of data being reliable, consistent, immediately available, and certain; unfortunately, this is not always evident in healthcare management processes unless they are managed with careful technological systematization of rules and data collection systems.
TapmyLife (which has been recognized multiple times by Digital Health Observatories in previous editions) actively works, thanks to ongoing research, to increasingly implement technological innovation in healthcare facilities through a lean approach aimed at genuinely simplifying complex problems that impact the efficiency of structures and the services provided.
Patients are often monitored in hospitals through complex clinical data systems but experience insufficient logistical data integration, resulting in an almost complete absence of reliable performance data.
Therefore, it becomes essential to have tools for capturing clinical data, as well as measuring business performance supported by technologies capable of accurately capturing these data at a sustainable cost.
IoT technology applied to healthcare is certainly one of the paths to ensure that all processes are effectively monitored and standardized, making it possible to achieve better connectivity, more agile usage, and comprehensive, easily interpretable performance analysis.
Artificial Intelligence, as well as IoT more broadly, are tools that contribute to making the management of the complex and delicate world of healthcare more effective, safe, and economical, with indisputable (and monitorable) benefits in terms of improved quality of patient services and cost savings through the elimination of redundancies and overall system efficiency.
