South African health technology companies are developing products to make healthcare more affordable.
There are many forms of apps and smart devices on the market today that could transform the way healthcare is delivered — saving time and costs for patients and doctors.
Health tech smart devices take it a step further and offer remote patient monitoring, such as the Hospital at Home offering by Quro Medical. Quro has developed a “Hospital at Home” service that uses Internet-of-things wearable and wireless medical-grade devices that collect health data.The devices include a chest patch that continuously monitors vital signs and additional hardware for intermittent monitoring of patients’ oxygen and sugar levels.
“This alert will immediately inform the in-care clinical team to follow up on the patient immediately.” While the product helps reduce healthcare costs and increase accessibility, it is still too expensive for some.
