The Ob or Gyn care is making use of apps and remote devices so that they can offer better care to their patients. Addyson Norton, Director, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Parkland Hospital
Today, most people use smartphones due to which connecting with people has become easy. This secure and massive connectivity also offers the Ob or Gyn sectors with new channels with which they can connect to the patients conveniently. Furthermore, the patients can also get easy access to care and improve their health, particularly after a baby comes out.
In the Ob or Gyn care, few aspects require manual nursing, but now more providers are trying to offer better check-ups with the help of connected devices. Therefore, a new technology known as telemedicine is gaining demand in the market as it provides health care with the support of connected devices.
Recently, several studies are being conducted related to Gyn and how they can implement apps and remote monitoring for some specific conditions. Here are a few technological trends in Gyn care that will be beneficial for them in the future.
According to researchers, every woman will have a different feeling when mobile apps are utilized as a component of pregnancy care. However, most of the women are interested in witnessing the baby’s development during the ultrasound. There are apps already in the market that will offer a general estimation about the size of fetal and the in-utero milestone. Most of the apps are utilized as a reference and do not have the choice of interface with providers.
There can be many patients who might want a convenient and reliable source from where they can get information about their health. For example, the patients can intake safe allergy remedies or cold medications while pregnancy or breastfeeding if the app is connected to a drug database.
Users of the pregnancy apps can even support each other through it, and a bond of friendship will be developed between them. Furthermore, these virtual communities can offer tips and compassion to those who are going through their pregnancy symptoms, such as weird food cravings or trouble while sleeping.
These apps can be beneficial for the patients and the providers, forming a partnership between them. They are not only an excellent device for remote monitoring but also convenient as it is always not possible for the would-be mothers to visit their doctors on time.
