ADVANCEMENTS IN WEARABLE AND HARDWARE TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEALTH MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
Health Monitoring, Personalized Treatment, Remote Patient Monitoring, Precision Medicine, Smart HealthcareAbstract
The fast development of hardware technologies has changed the healthcare business by making it possible to continuously monitor health, find diseases early, and tailor treatment to each person. Wearable tech, tiny sensors, and systems that connect to the Internet of Things (IoT) have made it easier for people to get healthcare services and better patient outcomes. The global market for wearable medical devices is projected to reach $27.8 billion by 2026. This is because more people are getting chronic diseases, more people are getting older, and more people want to be able to monitor their patients from afar. Wearable tech and IoT-enabled systems can keep an eye on patients' health all the time, lowering the chance that they will need to go back to the hospital and better their overall health. The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the use of telehealth and remote tracking devices, showing how important it is to have access to healthcare services from afar. When nanotechnology and bioelectronics come together, they make it easier to find diseases early, use precision medicine, and send drugs precisely where they are needed. This article talks about the progress made in miniaturization and wearables, IoT integration, telehealth and remote monitoring devices, and the coming together of nanotechnology and bioelectronics. It also talks about what these changes mean for the future of healthcare.
