Pharmaceutical & medical
healthcare apps has increased by 37 per cent since the start of the pandemic. Perhaps one of the most widely used types of
app is online prescription management platforms, where patients can request and organise the delivery of their medicines. Other digital healthcare services include
education on mindfulness, online counselling, personalised diet plans, sleeping aids and health trackers. For example, the app mySugr allows users to input and track their diet and blood sugar levels, as well as having access to a personal coach for help and advice. Adjacent to mobile health is telemedicine,
which is the delivery of healthcare services and information electronically from a remote location. This can involve virtual consultations, medicine adherence appointments and outpatient monitoring meetings using video- conferencing tools.
Roll out the Robots Robotics have the potential to take telemedicine to the next stage. For example, InTouch Health’s RP-Vita telepresence robot has a screen mounted at the top that can be used for video calls from an offsite doctor. The robot can move to transport the doctor around the room, enabling a closer simulation of the real experience of meeting with a doctor. The telepresence robot uses high precision
FAULHABER DC micromotors to power the pan and tilt functions of the high definition camera used for remotely examining patients. All
FAULHABER motors are made in a high precision manufacturing process, which makes them reliable with consistently high quality. EMS is the sole UK supplier of FAULHABER
motors, which have a high power density that makes them ideal for use in robotics. In particular, the new FAULHABER BXT series has a flat construction, therefore suiting small space requirements to minimise bulk of the robot. Innovative winding technology allows the motors to deliver torque up to 134 millinewton metres (mNm), demonstrating high power in a small package.
IM-NOV20-GI SYSTEMS LTD:INS-APR20-GI SYSTEMS LTD 16/11/2020 15:22 Page 1 The widespread adoption of digital
healthcare devices during the pandemic, combined with the Government’s injection of funding, will accelerate technological advancement of the sector and kickstart the fourth healthcare revolution. Research and implementation of innovative equipment will support healthcare professionals, while also improving medical outcomes and increasing the accessibility of medical treatment for patients.
