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.
The COVID-19 pandemic has redirected healthcare resources towards combating the virus, leaving traditional diagnostic tests limited. Evidence suggests direct cardiac involvement in COVID-19, necessitating careful monitoring of patients with preexisting cardiovascular conditions. Holter-ECG monitoring provides a remote and reliable solution for assessing arrhythmic risks, highlighting the need to adapt healthcare management strategies during the pandemic.
Amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, accessing healthcare services, especially for patients with heart conditions, remains essential. Teleconferencing with cardiologists and adhering to strict safety protocols during in-person visits are crucial for patient safety. For healthcare providers, thorough disinfection of equipment after each examination and adherence to protective measures help mitigate the risk of exposure to the virus.
