• Telehealth
• Video translation services
• Dictation services (e.g., Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
• Medical equipment
• Health care robots
• Neural engineering
• Intelligent mobile devices
• National health care information network
• A technology trend approved by your faculty

Complete the table below by explaining the trend’s use, the effect of the trend on the health care industry, the benefits of adopting the selected trend, and how the selected trend will improve the quality of health care delivered.

Technology Trend	Explain its Use (50 to 150 words)	Explain its Effect on the Health Care Industry (50 to 150 words)	Explain the Benefits of Adapting the Selected Trend and How the Selected Trend Will Improve the Quality of Health Care Delivered (50 to 150 words)

Answer 1

The technology trends that have recently introduced in the healthcare industry are a great asset to make the processes easy, transparent and patient friendly. Healthcare is no longer a complex process, the high end medical equipment, intelligent mobile devices, and Neural engineering have made it possible to handle even the most extreme medical emergencies, which looked  impossible a decade ago. Moreover, the Telehealth and Video translation services have helped patients to get faster medical solutions, and that too sitting at their home and not worrying about going to hospitals and waiting in queues. Especially the Health Care robots have been a great innovation.

The healthcare industry has become more reliable and successful in dealing with even the extreme cases with the help of technology. The healthcare robots reduce the chances of human error, and also in tough situations, wherein the hospitals are running really low on availability of medical manpower these robots can be really handy. Especially the In ward operations can be really taken care of by these robots which was evident recently when these robots were put in operation for handling COVID-19 patients. IT helped save a lot of manpower.

If these robots can be improved and with more technological aspects put into them, soon we could see even surgeries being performed by these Robots. This will mean more patients could be treated in less time, and even the expenditure of people on medical treatments could go down as the hospitals would have to cover salaries of less employees.
