Gone are the days when\u00a0doctors made house calls and nurses wore\u00a0nursing caps!<\/p>\n

Healthcare has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and increasing, we are\u00a0using technology to manage our\u00a0health.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mobile Health Apps:\u00a0<\/strong>More than 30% of the population is currently already using a mobile health app, and that number continues to increase. From medical apps to fitness apps, we\u2019re learning to lean on technology for its health and wellness benefits.<\/li>\n
  2. Telehealth Services:\u00a0<\/strong>Why sit in a doctor\u2019s waiting room when you can have a face to face videoconference from the comfort of home? Many mental health providers are counselling clients through video chats instead of\u00a0making patients wait to book an in-person appointment.<\/li>\n
  3. Medical Records Database Sharing:\u00a0<\/strong>New database tools allow patients to share their medical records with their chosen health system. This allows your health system to aid in both the diagnosis and treatment of chronic conditions.<\/li>\n
  4. Wearable Tracking Devices:\u00a0<\/strong>These\u00a0devices monitor everything: from your sleep patterns to your caloric intake to your physical activity. Remote monitoring allows the patient\u2019s health to be tracked in between regular doctor visits.<\/li>\n
  5. Patient Portals:\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019ve joined a patient portal with one of your doctors, you already know that it\u2019s the easiest way to book appointments, ask for refills, obtain referrals, and keep track of your test results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Technological advancements take place every day;\u00a0now we have\u00a0apps that make our health and wellness easier to manage!<\/p>\n
