Healthcare is undergoing a revolution due to the impact of technology in this sector. Evolution is not limited to the improvement of existing practices but is driving the whole healthcare system to a newer high, with increased efficiency of care providers and patients' power to manage their health. Advanced devices and the networks increasingly being used for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of patients are opening impressive prospects and great opportunities to ameliorate the results of health. 

Thus, these technologies can perform continual health tracking, at the same time help to diagnose the health issues accurately and reduce the administrative burdens of health care services while at the same time personalizing care. They play an indispensable role in tackling the health challenges posed by pandemics as well as the population aging trends. Let us look at ten major ways how smart technology is being applied in the healthcare industry.

 1. Wearable Health Monitors

 Smartwatches and fitness trackers are the applications of wearable devices; they are not the exclusive benefits of the fitness freaks. They are able to monitor some core parameters like heartbeat, blood pressure, and oxygen in the bloodstream. They can give a warning to both user and healthcare provider about any health issue which may aggravate if not controlled in the initial stages and this will make the preventive checking easy.

 2. Telehealth Services

 Tele monitoring is the breakthrough factor in the healthcare field as it provides virtual access to healthcare. This is more significant during coronavirus pandemic. This helps the patients to consult video conferencing with their doctors instead of going for personal visits thus, reducing the number of healthcare visits. It can play a pivotal role in facilitating care in areas such as rural health facilities or for people that have mobility issues.

 3. Smart Inhalers

 This is not far-fetched for people having asthma or any other respiratory disease with the help of smart inhaler. These devices monitor the use of such inhalers and they could remind the patient to take it right on the time, consequently aiding the patient to strictly follow his/her treatment plan.

 4. Remote Patient Monitoring Systems

Remote monitoring systems by means of various sensors can be among the factors that accumulate data on patients' health indicators in regular basis. This tech is very important in managing people with chronic diseases, acting as a bridge between doctors and patients. They can constantly monitor and intervene medically on time.

 5. Connected Emergency Delivery Systems

 This kind of urgent situation in case of an emergency requires immediate deployment of ambulance and paramedic resources. In synch with connected emergency response systems real-time exchange of information between ambulances, the health system, and emergency responders is taking place. Utilization of this architecture enables the prompt transfer of patient data, which facilitates the process speed and delivery of critical care.

 6. Smart Hospital Beds

 Smarter hospital beds, with wires, can pick up on patients' movements, heartbeat beat and other physical measurements. These beds will then be able to be adjusted as to improve patient comfort, reduce the risk of developing bed sores, and alert nurses within the medical staff when a patient attempts to get up, thus cutting the chances of falls.

 7. AI-Powered Diagnostic Tools

 AI in healthcare is vital currently, as it is frequently used for diagnostics. AI algorithms are more expeditious and accurate for image interpretation than a human radiologists. AI promotes the slowing down or even avoiding of the progress of diseases at an early stage, which puts patients in a good position for successful treatment.

 8. Virtual Reality (VR) in Patient Therapy

 Virtual reality (VR) technology is among the realistic tools that are now being tested for therapy and medical training. In therapy, VR provides patients with safe environments in which they become familiar with and able to cope with their fears. VR experiences include virtual scenarios that are customized to individual needs and help conquer the problems.

 9. Smart Surgical Tools

 Surgical machines with sensors and smart instruments are available in the operating room allowing surgeons to have augmented precision for the procedures. These tools may pull, push and/or apply the required pressure, and they can guide surgeons' move through delicate procedures, ultimately improving the target outcomes and reducing the recovery times.

 10. Blockchain for Health Data Safety

 Blockchain is clearly an efficient method for encapsulating and sharing medical history. With the help of blockchain that decentralizes storage, data about health becomes immune to forgery and can be accessed by authorized employees only making it more transparent and inherently trusted by patients.

 Conclusion

 Smart technology in healthcare is opening a new door to the much-improved and high-tech healthcare system where healthcare is delivered more efficiently, accessible to everybody and more and more personalized. From wearable devices to AI and blockchain, these technologies are positioning themselves to pave the way for a big change in healthcare that will uplift individual patient treatments and efficiency. While the healthcare sector matures, intelligent technologies will carry the day and shape the destiny of the future of healthcare.
