Global healthcare: How cloud computing can facilitate its growing needs in 2021

 

July 21, 2020

 

In 2020 global healthcare reached a point of paramount importance.

The healthcare industry began investing in as many resources as possible to accommodate its growing needs. Some of these needs consisted of larger data storage, complicated data processing, and requiring the assistance of cutting-edge technology to gather and process such data.

Currently, health and technology experts around the world have begun implementing Cloud tech to help combat healthcare emergencies. With this, we can expect more widespread use of cloud computing in the healthcare industry in the near future. This post will discuss how your healthcare related business, app, and even hospital system etc. can benefit greatly from adopting Cloud technology.

What can Cloud Computing do for global healthcare in 2021?

When it comes to global healthcare, needs and requirements are not one dimensional.

Covering such a large scope requires a wide range of healthcare demands to be discussed. This section will highlight how cloud technology applies to general healthcare requirements such as consumerism and interoperability, as well as how it applies to emergency healthcare situations such as pandemics like the COVID-19 crisis of 2019/2020.

 

General applications of Cloud Computing in healthcare in 2021

Growing demands of consumerism

With people taking up a more “prevention-oriented” approach to healthcare (as opposed to the typical “cure-oriented” approach) a consumerism culture has being born in the industry. There aren’t only patients anymore- now there are consumers too.

Who are these consumers?

People who consume health related smartphone apps, dieting apps, fitness apps, wearable technology, symptom checkers, calculators, etc. all belong to this category. These are not necessarily services required by patients but rather “products” that are created for general consumers to keep their health in check.

With the current health crisis around the world, we can expect that in 2021 people will begin maintaining their general health much more actively than they used to before. All the lessons that the crisis taught us, can be adopted by developers and firms to create new solutions. These new solutions can cater to this expected growth of consumerism in healthcare in the coming year.

In developing such solutions firms and developers can be more innovative with technologies such as IoT, big data and AI to effectively collect and manipulate data as well as boost consumer convenience.

Integrating systems to deliver a better experience

If you’re developing a new system to be used in the hospital that seamlessly makes use of patient data to create efficient diagnoses, cloud computing is the way to go. Using cloud computing you’re able to create interoperability. Interoperability makes use of different systems at the same time by enabling communication between them to establish one comprehensive system.

By integrating multiple healthcare systems to derive a comprehensive output you create an intelligent resource where you can draw a lot of insights from when it comes to doing diagnoses, prescribing medication and even monitoring the conditions of patients later on.

How does cloud computing help?

The scalability of cloud computing makes your platform flexible enough to accommodate a complicated infrastructure. When so many systems are integrated into one and configured to work with each other, the infrastructure on which these systems are hosted will need to expand over time. An easily scalable solution will allow you to scale your infrastructure’s processing power and performance by easily increasing specs. You will also enjoy the possibility of increasing storage whenever you need to accommodate the growing mass of data.

Special applications of Cloud Computing in healthcare in 2021

In 2020, we’ve come to learn that being prepared for general healthcare necessities just won’t suffice. We need to be prepared to answer to emergencies. We’ve got the expertise, technology and experience for it. It’s time we put it into practice. This section will discuss how Cloud Computing can be used in preparing healthcare systems stronger in the face of urgent crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Easy scaling for emergencies

Several healthcare systems around the world collapsed under the COVID-19 pandemic. This opened our eyes to the reality that scalability is a much needed element of healthcare. With Cloud infrastructures, you have the ability to scale the data processing, storing and analyzing capacities of hospitals, research labs etc at such short notice.

Telehealth

With the restrictions imposed on travel and public gatherings due to the pandemic, 2020 saw a rise of telehealth as a dominating trend of receiving healthcare. What is telehealth, you may ask? It’s when you’re able to channel doctors and seek medical advice and assistance through electronic communication devices. So basically, consulting your doctor, getting prescriptions and paying a fee, except you do all this on your phone or computer, instead of at a clinic. Thanks to telehealth, patients were able to consult their doctor during the COVID-19 pandemic without leaving the safety of their home and running the risk of possible infection.

We never know what the future has in store for us but having the option to switch between channels of receiving and giving out medical assistance is a win under any circumstance. The main reason for this is of course its adaptability. So you won’t be caught off-guard and left helpless if an emergency health crisis was to arise.

For vaccine research

Emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic proved to us that the need for research is of utmost significance. Countless companies representing different countries came forth with vaccines during the 2020 pandemic. More than 140 vaccines are currently in the works and experts look forward to continue vaccine research even after a good enough vaccine has been developed. So we can expect the need for scalable and widely accessible data infrastructure to continue for a while.

全球医疗：云计算如何在2021年促进其不断增长的需求

 

2020年7月21日

 

2020年，全球医疗保健达到了至关重要的时候。

医疗保健行业开始投资尽可能多的资源以满足其不断增长的需求。其中一些需求包括更大的数据存储、复杂的数据处理以及需要尖端技术的帮助来收集和处理这些数据。

目前，世界各地的健康和技术专家已经开始实施云技术，以帮助应对医疗突发事件。有了这一点，我们可以预期在不久的将来，云计算将在医疗行业得到更广泛的应用。这篇文章将讨论您的医疗保健相关业务、应用程序，甚至医院系统等如何从采用云技术中受益匪浅。

 

医疗保健云计算目录：

#1云计算在2021年能为全球医疗保健做些什么？
#2云计算在医疗领域的一般应用
#3云计算在医疗领域的特殊应用
#4想了解更多？看看这些惊人的相关帖子

这篇文章对谁有帮助？

如果你在医疗保健行业工作，或者正计划成立一家医疗保健公司，这将是一本对你有帮助的读物。
这篇文章也将有助于经销商优化他们的产品和服务。
移动应用程序开发人员也可以找到一些与你的领域相关的见解。

云计算能为2021年的全球医疗保健做些什么？

在全球医疗保健方面，需求和要求不是一维的。

覆盖如此大的范围需要讨论广泛的医疗保健需求。本节将重点介绍云技术如何应用于一般医疗保健需求，如消费主义和互操作性，以及它如何应用于紧急医疗状况，如2019/2020年的COVID-19危机。

 

2021年云计算在医疗领域的一般应用

日益增长的消费主义需求

随着人们对医疗保健采取更“预防为主”的方法（与典型的“治疗导向”方法相反），一种消费主义文化已经在该行业诞生。不再只有病人了，现在也有了消费者。

这些消费者是谁？

消费健康相关智能手机应用程序、节食应用程序、健身应用程序、可穿戴技术、症状检查仪、计算器等的人都属于这一类。这些不一定是病人所需要的服务，而是为普通消费者创造的“产品”，以保证他们的健康。

随着当前世界范围内的健康危机，我们可以预计，到2021年，人们将开始比以前更积极地维护自己的总体健康。危机给我们的所有教训，都可以被开发商和公司采纳，创造新的解决方案。这些新的解决方案可以满足未来一年医疗保健领域消费主义的预期增长。

在开发此类解决方案时，企业和开发商可以在物联网、大数据和人工智能等技术方面更具创新性，从而有效地收集和操纵数据，并提高消费者的便利性。

集成系统以提供更好的体验

如果您正在开发一个新的系统供医院使用，它可以无缝地利用患者数据来创建高效的诊断，云计算是一个不错的选择。使用云计算，您可以创建互操作性。互操作性通过允许不同系统之间的通信来同时使用不同的系统，从而建立一个完整的系统。

通过整合多个医疗保健系统以获得全面的输出，您可以创建一个智能资源，在这里您可以从中获得很多关于诊断、开药甚至以后监测患者状况的见解。

云计算有何帮助？

云计算的可伸缩性使您的平台足够灵活，可以容纳复杂的基础设施。当如此多的系统被集成到一个系统中并配置为相互协作时，这些系统所在的基础设施将需要随着时间的推移而扩展。一个易于扩展的解决方案将允许您通过轻松增加规范来扩展基础设施的处理能力和性能。无论何时，您都可以享受不断增长的海量数据。

2021年云计算在医疗领域的特殊应用

到了2020年，我们逐渐认识到，准备好一般的医疗必需品是不够的。我们需要做好应对紧急情况的准备。我们有专门知识、技术和经验。是我们付诸实践的时候了。本节将讨论如何利用云计算为医疗系统做好准备，以应对像COVID-19流感大流行这样的紧急危机。

紧急情况下易于伸缩

在COVID-19流感大流行期间，世界各地的一些医疗保健系统崩溃了。这让我们认识到，可伸缩性是医疗保健中一个非常需要的元素。利用云基础设施，您可以在短时间内扩展医院、研究实验室等的数据处理、存储和分析能力。

远程医疗

由于流感大流行对旅行和公众集会施加了限制，2020年远程医疗的兴起成为接受医疗保健的主导趋势。你可能会问，什么是远程保健？当你能够通过电子通讯设备引导医生和寻求医疗建议和帮助。所以，基本上，咨询你的医生，开处方，并支付费用，除了你在你的电话或电脑，而不是在诊所。多亏了远程医疗，患者在COVID-19流感大流行期间能够咨询医生，而不必离开安全的家，也不必冒着可能被感染的风险。

我们永远不知道未来会发生什么，但在任何情况下，能够选择在接受和提供医疗援助的渠道之间切换都是一种胜利。其主要原因当然是它的适应性。因此，如果出现紧急卫生危机，你就不会措手不及，束手无策。

用于疫苗研究

像COVID-19大流行这样的紧急情况向我们证明了研究的必要性是至关重要的。在2020年流感大流行期间，代表不同国家的无数公司推出了疫苗。目前有超过140种疫苗正在研制中，专家们期待着在研制出足够好的疫苗后继续进行疫苗研究。因此，我们可以预计，对可扩展和可广泛访问的数据基础设施的需求将持续一段时间。
