Abstract:
BACKGROUND: In recent times, the concept of smart cities has gained remarkable traction globally, driven by the increasing interest in employing technology to address various urban challenges, particularly in the healthcare domain. Smart cities are proving to be transformative, utilizing an extensive array of technological tools and processes to improve healthcare accessibility, optimize patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance overall efficiency.
METHODS: This article delves into the profound impact of smart cities on the healthcare landscape and discusses its potential implications for the future of healthcare delivery. Moreover, the study explores the necessary infrastructure required for developing countries to establish smart cities capable of providing intelligent health and care services. To ensure a comprehensive analysis, we employed a well-structured search strategy across esteemed databases, including PubMed, OVID, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus. The search scope encompassed articles published up to November 2022, resulting in a meticulous review of 22 relevant articles.
RESULTS: Our findings provide compelling evidence of the pivotal role that smart city technology plays in elevating healthcare delivery, forging a path towards improved accessibility, efficiency, and quality of care for communities worldwide. By harnessing the power of data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and mobile applications, smart cities are driving real-time health monitoring, early disease detection, and personalized treatment approaches.
CONCLUSIONS: Smart cities possess the transformative potential to reshape healthcare practices, providing developing nations with invaluable opportunities to establish intelligent and adaptable healthcare systems customized to their distinct requirements and limitations. Moreover, the implementation of smart healthcare systems in developing nations can lead to enhanced healthcare accessibility and affordability, as the integration of technology can optimize resource allocation and improve the overall efficiency of healthcare services. It also may help alleviate the burden on overburdened healthcare facilities by streamlining patient care processes and reducing wait times, ensuring that medical attention reaches those in need more swiftly.
摘要:
背景:最近,智慧城市的概念在全球范围内获得了显著的吸引力,在人们对采用技术来应对各种城市挑战的兴趣日益增长的推动下,特别是在医疗保健领域。事实证明,智慧城市具有变革性,利用广泛的技术工具和流程来提高医疗保健的可及性,优化患者结果,降低成本,提高整体效率。
方法:本文深入研究了智慧城市对医疗保健领域的深远影响,并讨论了其对未来医疗保健服务的潜在影响。此外,该研究探讨了发展中国家建立能够提供智能健康和护理服务的智能城市所需的必要基础设施。为了确保全面分析,我们在受人尊敬的数据库中采用了结构良好的搜索策略,包括PubMed,OVID,EMBASE,WebofScience,还有Scopus.搜索范围包括截至2022年11月发布的文章,因此对22篇相关文章进行了细致的审查。
结果:我们的发现提供了令人信服的证据,证明了智慧城市技术在提升医疗保健服务方面的关键作用。为改善可达性开辟道路,效率,和世界各地社区的护理质量。通过利用数据分析的力量,物联网(IoT)传感器,和移动应用程序,智慧城市正在推动实时健康监测,早期疾病检测,和个性化的治疗方法。
结论:智慧城市具有重塑医疗保健实践的变革潜力,为发展中国家提供宝贵的机会,以建立智能和适应性强的医疗保健系统,以适应其独特的要求和局限性。此外,在发展中国家实施智能医疗保健系统可以提高医疗保健的可及性和可负担性,因为技术的整合可以优化资源配置,提高医疗服务的整体效率。它还可以通过简化患者护理流程和减少等待时间来帮助减轻负担过重的医疗机构的负担。确保医疗护理更迅速地到达有需要的人手中。
