The implementation of blockchain, AI, Big data, IoT, RPA, and mobile technologies into the healthcare industry has resulted in streamlining processes, lowering healthcare costs, increasing efficiency and accuracy, minimizing errors, and improving quality of care. In this issue, our writers write about various technologies and how they are impacting the healthcare industry. Our writers write about how blockchain technology could be utilized to make EHRs more efficient, how healthcare chatbots are assisting patients, especially during the COVID pandemic, and the role of big data in the healthcare industry. As much as technology is advancing, cyberattacks are becoming a real threat too. We have talked about IoT ransomware and how hospitals and other medical facilities can protect themselves. Patient data is crucial, and HIPPA rules govern the physical and digital health data. In our interview series, we spoke with Charles, CEO and Co-founder, Clearsense Inc. His mission is to ensure that emerging technologies get implemented in the healthcare industry, and he has been doing that via Clearsense. He also gave some amazing tips for CIOs and what should be their top priorities.

Emerging Technologies

Assisting the Healthcare Industry by Johnson Cherian

ver the years, technology has accelerated at a rapid pace. We see improvement in various areas of our life with the advancement in technology; the way we use gadgets and equipment for learning, communicating, transporting, and for health emergencies. Innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, robotics, and smart gadgets have greatly impacted the healthcare industry. The Covid-19 pandemic has necessitated the need for early detection of infection, isolation, social distancing, and minimal human interference to reduce the transmission of the virus. Digital healthcare technologies play a significant role in supporting epidemiological intelligence right from online datasets, identifying clusters of infections, monitoring travel patterns, rapid trace contacts, and communication of public-health messages.

Blockchain

As A Catalyst to Streamline Healthcare Services In healthcare technology, blockchain enables the medical community and researchers to create a single database for all medical data; real-time tracking of patient medical records that allows healthcare workers, doctors, and patients to share information safely and quickly.

ethnic groups, geographic areas, environments, and socio-economic backgrounds. This provides health researchers access to vast data samples to study diseases, facilitate new medical discoveries, design patient-specific treatment, and track and develop drugs quickly.

Blockchain technology could be used in storing electronic medical records enabling coordinated care for patients within the network. The shared data of blockchain allows the capture of comprehensive data sets from various countries; including various

The advantages of blockchain to the healthcare industry are - easy accessibly to electronic medical records, remote monitoring of patients, transparency, and quick accessibility of data for health insurance claims.

Blockchains are publicly distributed ledger transactions that are managed by a peer-to-peer network for use.

INFLUENCING THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

harles Boisey is a clinical information systems specialist offering 25-plus years of strategic leadership. He has successfully built health care data warehouses, clinical and business intelligence tools, big data ecosystems, and a health information exchange. A strategic thinker with exponential leadership, Charles is an evangelist for the use of clinical technology to drive daily operations, analysis, and decisions. He excels at leading the development of long-term systems strategy for major medical organizations and executing plans to select innovative technology, implement systems, and leverage and maximize system functionality to enhance the health care delivery process.

Let’s start with your clinical and research background.

I consider myself a clinician technologist. I ran the trauma unit at LA County USC Medical Center for about 15 years. During that time, my research was bound around medical informatics, medical data, and biomedical engineering. My research interests then were extracting data from physiological monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, and different diagnostic modalities. I went to Steven’s Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, to understand new and emerging technologies. I started applying these technologies from a healthcare perspective, leading to adopting electronic medical records in other systems. I always had trouble with enormous data sets working in relational models where queries would run forever, and they would die off. I found that large clinical data sets, genomic data sets, image data sets didn’t operate well within the confidence of technologies we had during 2006-2007.

What are the motivations that led you to start Clearsense?

These cool companies were up-and-coming Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and Google, which was indexing the internet. A LinkedIn profile is very similar to a pathology report, oncology report, or a patient’s history and physical
