The investments made in digital health for 2015 were welcomed by both patients and healthcare professionals alike. Digital health products are revolutionizing the healthcare industry, from making storing patient data more secure to giving doctors and nurses better access to experienced colleagues through the use of telemedicine. Homecare management software such as that provided by carecenta.com allows for a more efficient and better quality level of home care, with care professionals having access to patient records, medical data and Medicare billing at the click of a button or the touch of a screen. Overall, digital health is becoming a well-established industry which is revolutionizing health care and medical research as we know it.
