This post is a quick overview of an Abto Software’s blog article.
Medical software is a broad term involving applications, which help healthcare providers operate efficiently. Specialized software is designed to facilitate administrative and managerial processes, accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, progress tracking, and better patient outcomes.
Medical software includes applications that optimize daily scheduling, for example appointment arrangement. What’s more, some tools are implemented for accounting, analytics, reporting, and even marketing activities.
Healthcare information and technology market trends
Digital transformation across industries is gaining more momentum, in particular in the healthcare segment. Modern innovations deliver value to both healthcare professionals and patients by increasing service quality and minimizing potential inconsistencies.
The recent coronavirus crisis has shown the importance of adopting and embracing computational technology. The lockdowns and other pandemic-related limitations noticeably facilitated the implementation of telehealth and telemedicine, as well as other health-related innovations.
Digitalization revolutionizing healthcare delivery
Healthcare organizations are facing various challenges and limitations when handling day-to-day operations. Forward-looking companies are moving towards specialized medical software to accelerate routine processes and drive customer satisfaction and loyalty.
For mature healthcare providers, data-driven insights empowering operations have already become inevitable. Digitized administration, simplified scheduling, data-driven diagnosing and treatment, and streamlined employee communication and collaboration are driving business automation.
Healthcare software: main types
Digital health is the broad concept marking technology being used to accelerate healthcare-related operations. This comprises mobile health, wearable devices, telehealth, telemedicine, and other related innovations.
Digital health is segmented into the following categories:
- Telehealth software
- Synchronous (real-time)
- Asynchronous (store-and-forward)
- Remote patient monitoring (RTM)
- Digital therapeutics
- Replacement therapies
- Treatment optimization
- Care navigation
- Self-directed care
- Electronic triage
Real-time services are the two-way interaction between provider and patient per audio- or videoconferencing. Store-and-forward services are the one-way transfer of recorded health-related information through portals, email, messaging, and applications.
Replacement therapies means using digital therapeutics to asses, manage, treat, and prevent medical issues. Treatment optimization, in this particular context, means utilizing digital therapeutics to enhance the efficiency of existing conventional therapies by leveraging data analytics, mathematical algorithms, and personalized medical interventions.
What about digital physiotherapy?
Digital physiotherapy is segmented into the following categories:
- Virtual model – an approach where assessment, diagnosing, treatment, and monitoring are conducted fully remotely through specialized solutions, completely eliminating in-person appointments
- Hybrid model – a combination of both personal and virtual components where some integral elements are conducted per videoconferencing and others delivered face-to-face
Digital health software types, by Abto Software
Speaking about integrated care, it means the utilization of technology to enable straightforward interaction, data processing and sharing, as well as communication and collaboration across different healthcare facilities. Such tools are designed to improve everyday coordination and enhance patient outcomes.
Digital solutions to empower integrated care typically include:
- Electronic health record (EHR) – a patient’s medical history being maintained by multiple healthcare providers
- Electronic medical record (EMR) – a patient’s medical history being maintained by one healthcare provider
- Electronic visit verification (EVV) – a system that verifies the occurrence of home- or community-based healthcare visits
- Personal health record (PHR) – a system specifically designed to be only accessed and managed by patients to maintain data confidentiality
- Electronic patient identifier (EPI) – a unique digital identification being assigned to individuals to accurately and securely match records
Healthcare software: additional features
Geolocation services
Geolocation services can enable patient tracking, particularly benefiting large-scale hospitals and providers. This feature might optimize patient flows, sensibly minimize waiting times, and improve patient experience.
Data analytics
Data analytics can help healthcare specialists make faster, data-driven decisions by obtaining valuable insight. This feature can help seamlessly control resource optimization, better understand patient patterns and trends, and enhance overall efficiency.
Voice and face recognition
Modern-day techniques, for example, voice and face recognition, might accelerate patient privacy and security by ensuring that only authorized personnel can access, review, manipulate, and share sensitive information. This helps maintain confidentiality and compliance with regulations.
Pose detection
Pose assessment and analysis can provide real-time feedback and guidance, as well as other useful features. Pose estimation can help accurately assess and analyze health conditions, create more personalized programs, and continuously track progress to streamline patient outcomes.

The idea is now age-old, but it has leveraged the phenomena of the pandemic to its advantage.
Presently, patients have started looking forward to the concept of remote medical assistance, may it be the case of a skin allergy or a twisted ankle.Smartwatches are working on the principles of portable healthcare technology.
Many medical practitioners are trying to get hold of customized telemedicine software solutions for their practice.It is crucial that users of the technology, which will be patients, feel at ease while operating the healthcare apps.
If the patients don't get all the app's essential features in the first screen they see, i.e., a dashboard, they are likely to get lost in finding the right way to schedule an appointment or access Live Chat with a doctor.A quality-rich app by a telemedicine app development company gives a consistent client experience to the doctors and the patients.
Registration-Registration is the initial phase in any telemedicine app development process, and the goal of any user experience team should be to keep it as clear and straightforward as expected.A patient should be able to sign in to the healthcare app by providing absolute minimum information like contact number, email id.
This information is personal, so it becomes necessary to utilize two—factor validation on this page, which can incorporate voice, SMS, or phone confirmation.For the patient to continue being interested in using the app, he mustn't have to go through a ridiculously large number of steps to access his registration details.
remote monitoring of patients using telemedicine solution is no longer a futuristic concept.
