Technology can be used to shift focus from healthcare to health promotion. Health Information Technology supports secure exchange and management of medical information. It improves health care quality, effectiveness, prevents medical errors and reduces costs. Cybersecurity protects hospitals and service providers from attacks and keeps patient data confidential. Diagnosis and treatment can be tailored to patients using big data analysis of electronic records. Telehealth allows patients in rural areas to meet doctors virtually and reduces the overall time and cost of medical attention. Wearable medical devices and remote monitoring tools help assess patient health and reduce unnecessary visits to the doctor’s office.
