Connected health refers to the use of digital technologies and networked devices to improve healthcare. This also enables patients to play a more active role in their own health monitoring.
The technologies used include, for example, the use of wearables, mobile apps and other networked devices. They record and transmit health data such as heart rate, blood sugar, blood pressure or activity levels in real time.
This data can then be used by doctors or healthcare providers to make informed decisions and create individual treatment plans. Connected health promotes prevention and enables early detection of health problems. It improves communication between patients and medical staff, leading to more efficient and personalized care. Digital transmission also makes it possible to provide medical care in regions with few medical structures.
