Digital Health Care: Perspectives, Applications, and Cases -

Description

Digital Health Care: Perspectives, Applications, and Cases explores the trends, perspectives, and cases of Digital Healthcare and Informatics (DHI) that are transforming healthcare across the globe.

Organized in 5 major connecting parts, this well-conceived text begins by laying out foundational DHI themes before focusing in on key DHI core technologies, developments, methods and challenges – from big data analytics & artificial intelligence to security and privacy issues, clinical decision support systems, consumer health informatics, and more. It then explores DHI emerging technologies (e.g., sensors and wearable electronics) and concludes with short case studies and critical case questions designed to reinforce conceptual understanding.

Digital Health Care: Perspectives, Applications, and Cases is written for undergraduate’s health professionals, this accessible text offers a multidisciplinary perspective that is suitable for use in variety of healthcare disciplines-from allied health and nursing to health administration, public health, and health informatics.

Each chapter follows a consistent structure that comprehensively covers a specific DHI topic(s) and related key technological components along with workplace practices from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Real world cases studies (in Part 5) help students understand key and illustrate how they can be applied in real-world settings.
Clinical innovations and techniques for evaluating clinical outcomes, such as improved care, performance improvement, and cost reduction in clinical settings, are explored and emphasized throughout the text.
Technology and issues that a transforming the health care industry are explored including standardization, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, medical sensors, enterprise architectures, and precision medicine.
