In the United Arab Emirates, the use of telemedicine has increased rapidly over recent years. Existing telemedicine services were quickly expanded to safely continue providing clinical care while minimising the risk of viral transmission.

A 2020 survey by a hospital providing telemedicine consultations in the Maldives, found that 63 percent of respondents were very satisfied with the service, and all participants expressed a willingness to continue utilising teleconsultations post-pandemic.

Why invest in telemedicine software? Telemedicine has demonstrated huge potential to transform healthcare delivery by enabling Improved access and continuity of care and more!

Telemedicine has become an essential part of healthcare. The uptake of remote care delivery, accelerated by COVID-19, is set to continue beyond the current pandemic as patients have come to expect timely access to specialists without the need to travel. Healthcare providers are increasingly investing in telemedicine software to help improve their range of care delivery models.

Patient engagement has been recognised as an important factor in empowering patients to become active partners in managing their own health.

Patient engagement portals are demonstrating great potential to improve access to care, increase communication and coordination in healthcare. Through an innovative, state-of-the-art, patient engagement portal, Medoment integrates all aspects of patient care to optimise engagement and improve outcomes.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year, the majority due to heart attacks and strokes. Many early deaths could be prevented by reduction of risk factors, early diagnosis and treatment.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is the use of technology to monitor patient health outside of a traditional clinical setting. Health data is transmitted to healthcare providers via digital, wireless or Bluetooth methods. Many patients can potentially benefit from RPM, especially those living with chronic diseases.

Routine monitoring is easily managed via the Medoment RPM platform, freeing up time for clinical teams to focus on patient care. Timely notifications alert physicians through intelligent data analysis and exception reporting.
