Networked healthcare technologies that connect patients, doctors and care services via digital platforms or apps to enable better care.
Connected health refers to the use of digital technologies and connected devices to improve healthcare and enable patients to take a more active role in their own health monitoring. This includes the use of wearables, mobile apps and other connected devices that collect 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, enables early detection of health problems and improves communication between patients and medical staff, leading to more efficient and personalized care.
