Cameras and ECG machines share a similar trajectory of evolution from bulky, complex devices to compact, accessible tools. Just as mobile phones revolutionized photography, handheld ECG devices are becoming more ubiquitous, offering convenience and quality previously unavailable. AI and cloud technologies are poised to streamline data processing and analysis in both fields, bridging the gap between increasing data volume and limited expertise in healthcare.
With healthcare technology advancing, cybersecurity is crucial to safeguard patient data from cyber threats. The EARS framework offers strategies for managing cyber incidents effectively, while cloud-based solutions like Cardiomatics provide secure data storage and monitoring. Organizations must prioritize cybersecurity to protect against evolving threats in the healthcare sector.
Cloud Computing is a major trend in the context of IT. This technology comes with major advantages that have helped its penetration in various sectors of the economy. In healthcare too cloud technology is on the advance. The COVID-19 crisis with positive examples of its application has added thrust. Germany, with its legacy of reluctance to embrace the cloud due to data privacy considerations, is also witnessing significant progress.
