The Consumerization of Healthcare represents a significant shift in the industry towards prioritizing patient-centric approaches. This evolution empowers individuals to play a more active role in their healthcare decisions, offering increased access to information and personalized care options. However, the more influential factor driving the consumerization of healthcare is increased digitization and the positive impact of new technologies. For example, minimally invasive procedures and remote patient monitoring revolutionizes healthcare by granting both patients and healthcare professionals improved access to crucial health information, facilitating timely interventions when necessary. In both cases, sensors play a pivotal role in providing real-time data on vital parameters, allowing for proactive healthcare management. And technological advances have also allowed many treatments to become not only more comfortable for the patient, but also in many cases to be performed in the comfort of the patients’ own home as opposed to in a hospital or treatment center. The key to many of these advancements is the rise of sophisticated sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare, that are enabling the collection of data that can be used to improve quality of care. TE produces sensors that are found in advanced applications ranging from medical pumps and minimally invasive equipment to game-changing home dialysis equipment, and our subject matter experts can offer valuable insights into how healthcare is changing.
