Abstract
Health and the access to medical services are key factors in the functioning of a sustainable society. In order to provide access to medical and health services, in the conditions of digitalization and implementation of ITC technologies, it is necessary to innovate and achieve synergies between digital and medical technologies. Digitization, innovation and research should be complementary fi elds that represent the engines of a modern digital economy. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to perform an analysis on the online medical systems, both nationally and internationally. This analysis aims to identify the technologies and tools for information and prevention, existing ICT products in the medical fi eld and online medical platforms from Romania and abroad. The main aspects identifi ed in the analysis will represent the premises for designing an innovative online platform, which will aim to increase the visibility of scientifi c information, facilitate access to medical materials and provide personalized digital medical services, created by members of the innovative cluster network „For Health Dunarea de Jos”, existing in the South-East region of Romania.
Highlights
Analysing the deployment of previous industrial revolutions: steam, electricity and information technology, it becomes indisputable that the fourth industrial revolution is when digital technology begins to integrate with the physical and biological one[1].Two defining stages can be seen on how industries are transformed
One of the industries influenced by the wave of digital technology is the medical industry whose efficiency and accessibility is invaluable at the social-economic level[2]
European countries have made a significant impact on health services to the population, but there are still large inequalities, both between countries and within each system
Summary
Analysing the deployment of previous industrial revolutions: steam, electricity and information technology, it becomes indisputable that the fourth industrial revolution is when digital technology begins to integrate with the physical and biological one[1]. The survey shows that these reluctances are due to the fact that digital health services do not meet the population (patient) direct needs, or are presumed to be of poor quality. More than 75 percent of respondents want to use digital healthcare services, as long as these services meet their real needs and have a high level of professionalism. More than 75% of all patients expect to use digital healthcare services in the near future[3]. Digitalisation opens up many new opportunities: the establishment of electronic patient records, remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases or the elderly, the implementation of e-Health services in isolated areas, providing remote diagnostic services and more. Digitalised health services can provide a better prognosis for patients and contribute to the sustainability of health systems if designed and implemented correctly
