Study To Evaluate The Scope And Nature Of WIT (Wireless And Information Technology) In Patient Health Monitoring Sector

Telemedicine is a new and emerging area in healthcare sector. Now everywhere in the world did Information Technology have a greater personal impact than in the delivery of health care? Energetic efforts are now being done all over the world to use IT for the improvement of quality of health care, provision of easy access to health care facilities and enabling the patients to improve their own health status. The aim of the research was to evaluate the scope and nature of wireless and mobile technology in health sector. The thrust for the research came from analysis of the information requirements in health sector and increasing demand of wireless technology, which incurs globalization and makes world interconnected. This paper covers wireless technologies that exist for telemedicine, the issues it meets against changing technology and evolution it will bring in today‘s world. Also it is meant for ongoing researches in telemedicine as a supplement to their knowledge and pays a small contribution to improve health care services in INDIA and rest of the world. Finally, during the study we have noticed, wireless remote monitoring is really an underdeveloped area today in the health care service. It will continue to become more and more important and revolutionizing for the way patients are treated in the years to come. Introducing technology that has the potential to bring healthcare out of the hospital and into the patient‘s home, replace nurses with technical devices, and collect sensitive information will bring many ethical considerations. These must be dealt with in order to ensure that any changes made in the health service are for the better for the patient.
