Telehealth Technology: NantHealth Innovations and Future Healthcare

This presentation delves into the telehealth technologies offered by NantHealth, focusing on innovations like GPS Cancer and NaviNet Open, which aim to connect patients, providers, and insurers across the healthcare continuum. It describes how these technologies provide crucial data for informed decision-making, emphasizing the role of real-time data in promoting outcome-focused planning through access to patient medical history, reduced infections, improved compliance, and early interventions. The presentation further predicts the impact of these technologies on future healthcare, highlighting improved patient care, increased healthcare access, reduced costs, faster diagnosis and treatment, and enhanced management of chronic illnesses, ultimately leading to a more empowered patient population and improved healthcare delivery.

Telehealth and
Modern Technology in
Medicine

Introduction
•Telemedicine has revolutionized medicine.
•It has evolved since the 1950s (Meskó,
2014).
•Health care across the continuum has greatly
improved as a result of modern medicine.
•Nant Health is one of the companies
championing the use of telemedicine

Technology Innovations
1. GPS Cancer
• This technology is aimed at offering the best possible
oncology care. Cancer is a disease of main concern in the
contemporary society. Mortality rate due to cancer is high in
the United States (Collins and Varmus, 2015.
2. NaviNet Open
• This technology is aimed at connecting the payers, providers
and clients.

ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN
PROVISION OF INFORMATION
NECESSARY FOR DECISION
MAKING
