One type of technology that has advanced significantly since Covid-19 appeared in the United States is Telehealth. With this upgraded and advanced system, physicians can now have eyes on their patient while speaking with them and discuss any symptoms or issues without physically being in the room with the patient. This benefits the patients who are unable to leave their homes due to various reasons, such as transportation issues or being bedbound. Patients are more likely to be compliant with MD follow-ups and the plan of care when the Telehealth System is available. Another source of integrated technological advancement in health care is the wearable devices for patients that record various parameters and vitals (Thacharodi, Singh, Meenatchi, Ahmed, Kumar, Kavish, Maqbool, Hassan, 2024). These devices are commonly used for diabetic patients and cardiac (heart) patients. The device monitors the patients' vitals and symptoms, then records any unusual activity. Some devices send the information directly to the physician, notifying them and the patient of any unusual activity that needs to be addressed immediately, especially signs of blood glucose levels too high or low, or heart related issues for cardiac monitors. The benefits of these type of units are that patients can.
