At home, Apple products help patients stay involved in their care. Care at home apps empower patients to manage their medical conditions and share information with care providers.
Care at Home
How Apple devices are helping patients monitor their own care while staying connected to healthcare professionals.
90% of all jobs in the NHS will require some element of digital skills in the next twenty years.1 Technology is becoming essential in the world of healthcare, especially as more and more appointments are being received virtually or over the phone.
The benefits of digital transformation in the healthcare industry are becoming more noticeable than ever with Apple technology being deployed in hospitals across the UK, but what does it mean for patients?
Empowering Healthcare Professionals with Apple Technology
Technology like iPad provides doctors and patients the tools to make healthcare more accessible at home. Patients can attend appointments
virtually or over the phone and even monitor their own symptoms from the comfort of their own home. Using devices such as iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch,
healthcare workers can free up time and resources for when they need it most.
Extending the Reach of Healthcare
HealthKit-enabled apps and medical devices give patients an easy way to track and share health data with care teams through the Health app. Apple Watch offers options for monitoring heart health and detecting falls, and it encourages users to sit less, move more, and get some exercise.
Digital Transformation and Care at Home
The Covid pandemic saw healthcare shift towards digital transformation. Since then, telephone and virtual appointments have remained the norm. As well as saving time and resources for healthcare professionals, technology is essential in the lives of many, and they increasingly expect their healthcare to be supported by it as a result.2
The use of Apple technology in healthcare at home has already seen incredible results in Neonatal care, monitoring arterial hypertension and more.
Care at Home
The increasing digitisation of the NHS is necessary for a number of reasons. In relation to caring for patients at home, the rising use of technology in healthcare could potentially mean a reduction in unplanned hospital admissions and even non-attendance rates. These will come as a result of patients having access to tools to monitor their own health and the ability to contact healthcare professionals remotely if need be.
Apple Watch can monitor patients’ heart rate without them needing to see a doctor in person, and iPad is the perfect device to connect with healthcare professionals. A variety of apps mean that information can be sent quickly and securely to your doctor without leaving the house.
