An accomplished obstetrics and gynecology expert, Dr. Robert Kast has managed his private practice and provided patients with general obstetric and gynecological care since 1985. Dr. Robert Kast attended the World Congress 2018 which addressed numerous topics such as health innovations that impact patient care.
Healthcare is an industry that requires innovations to boost the delivery of patient care. Technology has also been integral to reducing costs and spending in various healthcare facilities. Below are some of the recent innovations which are poised to transform the healthcare industry:
1. An increasing number of hospitals have embraced the use of 3D operating models that have streamlined surgical procedures. The3D operating models enable surgeons to safely perform more complex operations in a shorter period. For instance, 3D printing enables doctors to accurately view a patient’s organs before performing a procedure.
2. Virtual reality (VR) technologies have been designed to help calm and assist patients going through difficult circumstances such as surgery or childbirth. Patients wear VR glasses during painful procedures to minimize stress and have a more pleasant experience while creating a good environment for providers to safely perform procedures.
3. The introduction of telehealth technologies has helped consumers to enjoy increased access to medical care through remote platforms. Patients can now attend doctor visits online which helps to reduce office visits and travel time for patients.
