Implementation of digital technologies in the medicine of the future

Abstract

The parallel development of digital and telecommunication technologies in recent years has created ample opportunities to improve traditional healthcare delivery systems. New models of healthcare services are supported by scientific developments and digital innovations. Objectives: To improve doctors’ expertise and healthcare managers with the main achievements of digital technologies introduction in practical medicine and the possibilities for further development of technologies in this area. Methodology: A review of articles from professional peer-reviewed journals in the online medical literature search system MEDLINE from the US National Library of Medicine for 2018-2022 was conducted. The article concerns the use of digital innovations in clinical medicine, their achievements in oncology, cardiology, medical imaging and other healthcare fields. Results: The article discusses the main digital strategies that are part of the practical work of doctors and create new workflows and interactions between patients and specialists of medical institutions. Attention is paid to the advances in computer technology and the challenges they pose to the quality of medical care. The introduction of telemedicine, problems of validation of results and clinical use of artificial intelligence applications, as well as opportunities for their development in the future are discussed. Conclusion: New technologies, including artificial intelligence algorithms, machine learning, image recognition, radiomics, and telemedicine, are creating the prerequisites for the development of new forms of healthcare delivery. The combination of telemedicine, server-based applications, and machine learning algorithms can provide a synchronised solution to the challenges faced by modern society in ensuring a healthy future around the world.
