Over the past decade, there have been increasing expectations and pressures placed on health care providers to deliver more efficient, quality, and safe health care services. As a result, this shifts the balance between supply-and-demand of health care services. It also brings about new challenges for health care professionals' capabilities to deliver safe and quality care in a timely manner. There are significant opportunities to expand digital information and communications technology and transform healthcare services to accommodate these demands based upon their efficiency and efficacy.
Connected Health encompasses terms such as wireless, digital, electronic, mobile, and telehealth and refers to a conceptual model for health management where devices, services, or interventions are designed around the patient's needs, and health-related data is shared in such a way that the patient can receive care most proactively and efficiently possible. Top connected health tools include telehealth, remote patient monitoring tools, wearable technology, secure messaging tools, mobile apps, and other digital tools that help connect patients to their providers.
