Cloud Technology is Transforming Senior Care

How cloud technologies will enhance home-based medical care for seniors.

No need for the elderly patient to travel to the doctor’s office, or have the patient admitted to a hospital unless it is really necessary either. Now physicians can turn on a tablet to check in on a patient.

According to the market research firm The Freedonia Group, Care for the elderly is expected to cost US$319 billion in the United

States this year.Statistics from the Kaiser State Health Facts indicate that the

average per day cost of hospitalization in 2014 was from $1,791 to $2,289.

TRENDS & STATISTICS

TRENDS & STATISTICS

Surveys indicate that 83% of IT healthcare organizations are using cloud services. The report shows that 67% of healthcare

organizations are running SaaS-based applications, with 15.9% running on infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms and 2.4%

using platform-as-a-service (PaaS) applications.

Remote Monitoring of Patients

Patients can be monitored with a telemetry patch that sends data right to the provider’s office or hospital. If any of the measurements

indicate deteriorating health, their detection triggers an alert to provider who can then deliver lifesaving interventions.

With the cost live-in senior care going up to as much as $6,000 a month and rising, there’s no doubt that families will adopt cloud technology if it can help reduce costs and increase flexibility with

their healthcare options.
