Digital Transformation of Healthcare and Medical Education, Within, and Beyond Pandemic COVID-19

Abstract

Digital transformation during the pandemic COVID-19 has been impressive. Some organizations have accelerated the adoption of new technology and digitalization as their response to the pandemic COVID-19. The healthcare and medical education systems are also not left behind in adapting to new digital solutions. Examples include e-health and virtual consultations, management of big data and application of artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. The response in education includes remote learning and using educational technologies to empower medical graduate teaching. New ways of work using technologies and digital solutions not only beneficial within the unprecedented crisis but shine a light towards greater digital adoption beyond the pandemic COVID-19.

An Intelligent Collection System of Big Data in Medical and Health Education Based on the Internet of Things

“…Analysis, processing, and processing of useful data from the massive information received by sensors, taking into account the different needs of different users [ 7 ]. Pauzi and Juhari believe that the Internet of Things is being fully applied in various industries through the application of new technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, sensor technology, nanotechnology, fully connecting various objects, and through the wireless network, etc., various real-time dynamic information collected will be sent to the computing processing center, aggregate, analyze and process, Can realize centralized management, control of machine, equipment, personnel through the central computer, and optimize production and life in a more subtle and dynamic way, achieve the organic integration and harmonious coexistence of human society and the material world [ 8 ]. Ji, H. et al stated that the initial design idea of applying the Internet of Things technology in the medical field is mobile medical care, and the realization of mobile medical care requires mobile computing and intelligent identification.…”

Electronic maternal and child health application usability, feasibility and acceptability among healthcare providers in Amhara region, Ethiopia

“…Digital health, which comprises emerging technologies and eHealth (such as mHealth, telemonitoring, video-consultations, electronic health records), play a crucial role to advance the core principle of primary health care (PHC)-a people-centered and integrated health service delivery model [1][2][3]. Many low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are leveraging advances in digital health technologies to improve and maintain the continuity of service delivery post-COVID-19, by innovating, testing, evaluating, and, in some instances, integrating digital health solutions into PHC settings [4,5].…”

“…Digital health may improve healthcare quality in different areas of interventions such as patient safety, access to healthcare, effective treatment, efficient use of resources, equity of care across subgroups of populations, and patient-centered care [6][7][8]. The rise and use of digital health adoption may also have created a challenge to establish the extent of the impact of digital health on quality healthcare [5,8]. The challenges associated with digital health include ethical concerns about information security, the acceptability of new digital tools and practices, and whether the technology really is practical and feasible to be implemented in real practice [9].…”
