THE FUTURE OF MILITARY HEALTHCARE

The Indian Armed Forces crossed many barriers in their response to meeting Covid-19 challenges. The pandemic also accelerated use of technologies and opportunities.

The future of healthcare is shaping up in front of our very eyes with advances in digital healthcare technology, such as in Telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR)/Aaugmented Reality (AR), 3D-printing, robotics, or nanotechnology. The armed forces and healthcare workers must familiarize with the latest developments to be able to control technology and not the other way around.

Objectives

The objective of the webinar & virtual expo is to provide a forum for the stakeholders in the Services and Industry to enable information exchange on latest technologies for healthcare and augmenting the medical services of the armed forces during pandemic times.

The event will bring together experts from the armed forces medical services, DRDO, industry and academia. The virtual exhibition will offer an opportunity for companies to present the technological changes taking place and their capabilities.

COVID Care

To meet the many challenges, which the armed forces faced to tackle Covid-19, a number of steps were taken. The Indian Army launched a COVID tele-consultancy & Information Management Cell to include telephonic consultation, updates on patients, guidance on admissions, COVID test reports, information on COVID vaccination and so on.

These initiatives were a harbinger of revolution in Telemedicine and Healthcare in the armed forces. Some of the technologies that will impact healthcare as we know it in the coming years are mentioned below.

Telemedicine Solutions

Telemedicine solutions have been thrust forward by years if not a decade or more. This is creating an opportunity for remote patient monitoring to provide even better visibility into patients beyond what can be accomplished with basic video conferencing. Basic Telemedicine issues have been solved; other solutions are in progress.

Remote Healthcare

Remote healthcare monitoring has a long way to go. It depends on devices and systems that leverage consumer wearables, smart home communication systems, and Big Data to produce holistic views for healthcare providers.

Artificial intelligence

AI algorithms can mine medical records, design treatment plans or create drugs way faster than any current actor on the healthcare palette including any medical professional. The power of AI in early warning, intervention, triage, augmenting staff and clinical capacities is being realised.

Virtual Reality

VR is being used to train future surgeons and for actual surgeons to practice operations. The technology is also benefiting patients and has been proven to be effective in pain management by using VR to distract them from painful stimuli.

Healthcare Trackers

Patients and individuals can take care of their own health through wearables, sensors and trackers, which are a key enabler of next generation remote healthcare monitoring by serving as the principle connection with the individual. Methods to measure blood oxygenation levels, electrocardiogram (ECG) and detecting atrial fibrillation (AFib) as well as other cardiovascular conditions are already being tried out.

Medical Tricorder

Tricorders is an omnipotent device to help diagnose and analyse every disease.

Nanotechnology

Nanoparticles and nanodevices will soon operate as precise drug delivery systems, cancer treatment tools or tiny surgeons. Smart pills are already in use for colon exams in a noninvasive, patient-friendly way.

Robotics

New developments range from robot companions through surgical robots until pharmabotics, disinfectant robots or exoskeletons.

3D-printing

3D-printing can now print biotissues, artificial limbs, pills, blood vessels and so on. 3D-print prosthetics are helping refugees from war-torn areas.

Health Monitoring Using Internet-of-things (IOT)

Applications enabled by the Internet of Things (IOT) -- networked sensors, either worn on the body or embedded in our living environments -- make possible the gathering of rich information indicative of our physical and mental health.

Big Tech and Healthcare

Big Data processing of medical information will become increasingly important as virtual healthcare remote monitoring grows. The ability to analyze the vast amounts of real-time, streaming data to produce trends, correlations, and medical diagnoses can potentially transform how healthcare is applied at both an individual and societal level.

Big Tech is also directly entering the healthcare provider and services market, which at a minimum provides a convenient platform to leverage its healthcare technology and data solutions.
