Healthcare IT News: Smart Devices

Smart devices in healthcare are used for collecting patient health information. Smart medical devices include everything from automated insulin pumps to diagnostic instruments that can interpret their results. They are smarter and more sophisticated compared to other medical devices. X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds produce diagnostic images that let doctors identify abnormalities that cannot be seen from the outside. Smart devices not only produce the images but can interpret the results as well. With the help of machine learning, these devices would be able to make connections between image characteristics and ultimate health outcomes to improve diagnostic accuracy. By analyzing vast datasets, smart devices would be able to find correlations that humans are likely to miss.
