Health information technology (HIT) refers to the area of healthcare that deals with the IT systems that healthcare professionals utilize for handling patient data. In simple words, it refers to the computerized systems used by healthcare providers, patients, or their attendants for storing, sharing, and interpreting health information.

“Introduction of Interoperable system and cloud-based computing system in the healthcare sector”

With the growing demand for early detection of diseases, the demands for interoperable systems and cloud-based computing system for detecting diseases is also soaring. This is an important factor that is driving the growth of the healthcare IT market. The computing revolution has given rise to the concept of cloud computing, which uses software, infrastructure, and platform as services. A study conducted by The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology revealed that cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous and convenient access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. For instance, HealthVault launched by Microsoft is a web-based Personal Healthcare Record system used for storing and managing health information. Several third-party applications, such as blood pressure management tools, medical image viewers, as well as blood pressure monitors and blood glucose meters and are compatible with this platform for recording health data in the healthcare sector.

“Virtual Clinical and Pre-clinical trials”

Virtual clinical trials are enjoying surging popularity among healthcare companies. Since the clinical development process is very slow and costly, sometimes costing even Billions of dollars, healthcare companies were always searching for something more efficient, fast, and cost-effective. To this end, Virtual Clinical Trials were initially introduced for collecting patient information. The Apple Heart Study took this approach a step further. In order to explore mobile diagnostic capabilities, Apple recruited about 400,000 participants in record time and showed how wearable technology can help detect atrial fibrillation. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) also collaborated with Apple for a stroke prevention study with the focus on shifting towards virtual clinical trials. Additionally, Pfizer conducted the first virtual clinical trial in 2011, which allowed patients to participate irrespective of their geographic locations. This project by Pfizer used mobile phones and web-based technology to collect the required data from the patients.
