Telemedicine promotes cost savings for both
healthcare providers and patients in terms of
visits, staff & facilities management, utilities, etc.

10. FDA has recently approved ‘EaseVRx’ on
November 16, 2021. An immersive VR system, it
uses cognitive behavioral therapy and other
behavioral methods to help with pain reduction.
Virtual & Augmented Reality
VR/AR headsets can help
patients suffering from
PTSD, dementia or cognitive
impairments (stroke).
It can also help medical students
in training at affordable costs, as
well as practice for experienced
surgeons to prepare for surgery,
depending on the patient’s
known conditions.

11. Wearable Technology
Smartwatches were one of the 1st
wearable devices that promoted
self-monitoring and are often
associated with fitness tracking
and health-related data.
Researchers are developing smart-
bodywear like patches, clothes and
accessories to administer drugs “on-
demand”. This technology can expand
into smart implants for various
medical cases.

Wearable technologies can continuously gather
patient’s data during the day. Since doctors no
longer require their patient’s visits, the data can
lead to better treatment plans and patient
monitoring.

12. The internet of Medical Things
The union of IoT (internet of
things) with telemedicine
and telehealth technologies
gave rise to IoMT, which
now accounts for 30% of the
IoT market.
The use of several wearables
(such as ECG and EKG monitors,
BP instruments) allow doctors to
monitor patients remotely.

‘Abilify MyCite’ was the first ‘smart pill’
approved by the FDA in November 2017. It helps
to monitor medication adherence, sending data
to doctors who monitor remotely.

13. • Digital health is a broad, multi-disciplinary concept that links
