How hospitals can leverage data-driven video technology

With the rapid changes across industries, companies are increasingly competing to stay at the forefront of helping businesses and society create safer and more efficient surroundings with
the latest technology.

Innovations in the industry have increased opportunities and possibilities of videos and how people and the government can use them.

As technology progresses, data-driven video technology will substantially alter the healthcare industry. Data-driven video technology has the ability to precisely identify when a patient requires immediate attention.

When it comes to building a better hospital environment and providing suitable patient care facilities, data-driven video technology can alert the hospital staff as per the patient’s requirements, providing
immediate medical attention without the need for constant manual monitoring.

How hospitals and patients can benefit from data-driven video technology

01.
Remote patient monitoring
Data-driven video technology can keep an eye on patients from their homes or in non-hospital environments, allowing medical professionals to gather real-time updates on their recovery
progression.

02.
Surgical Procedures
Data-driven video technology can help record and analyse surgical procedures (with the patient’s consent), providing valuable data for training and research purposes.

03.
Medical imaging
Data-driven video technology can help enhance medical imaging by providing real-time data and analysis.

Data-driven video is, therefore, emerging as a technology that is set to transform the global healthcare landscape, potentially helping to save thousands of lives.

However, although this technology has countless benefits, the sector must prioritise the legislation of patients’ data and privacy protection. It is also equally important to ensure all the key stakeholders are educated about this all-important innovation and the operational gaps it’s intended to fill.

This will be crucial in getting everyone to buy into this exciting concept and, most importantly, to avoid any regulatory pitfalls that may arise following its deployment.

Healthcare professionals must, therefore, formulate uncompromising rules and regulations on how data-driven video technology can and cannot be operated, adhering to the requirements and privacy concerns.

The future will witness infinite opportunities as technological advancements persist to mature.
