The past few years has stretched global health systems to their limits, with hospitals hard-pressed to meet demand, in terms of manpower resources as well as healthcare infrastructure.
Ian Chong, Regional Director & Head of B2B Mobile Experience, Southeast Asia & Oceania,
Samsung Electronics, said: “The modernization of global health systems will be critical in our response to future global health crises. Many governments and healthcare providers recognize the urgency for healthcare system innovations, geared towards building resilience and preparation for future crises, as well as to create greater accessibility and support for segments such as aging populations, or care for noncommunicable diseases.”
“Indeed, digital health technologies have played a huge role in sharing timely health information or providing telehealth services to improve early screening, diagnosis and treatment especially when many were confined to their homes.”
As governments and healthcare sectors ramp up their efforts to transform healthcare, both technology and innovation will be imperative in their strategies to allow current and future healthcare professionals to be more productive, collaborative, and people centric.
Working with healthcare partners globally, Samsung is committed to helping healthcare providers keep pace with evolving demands, with flexible solutions, and field-ready, customizable devices and services.
This is how Samsung is transforming healthcare with its partners with patient-first solutions.
In hospitals
Patient information is often locked in laptops and desktop PCs and not where healthcare
professionals need them the most – when they are with their patients. With Samsung’s field-ready ruggedized devices such as the Galaxy XCover6 Pro or Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro, healthcare professionals can enjoy continued access to pertinent patient information on-the-go, and even annotate 1 health charts or medical imaging when speaking with patients.
Digital healthcare technologies also enable better patient experiences. Smart hospital rooms allow patients to conveniently tap into information and services using familiar Samsung Galaxy tablets, without the need to call for help. This also helps to reduce non-critical duties for healthcare workers.
