Shifting Care into the Home: How New at-Home Technologies Improve Patient Experience

The rapid growth of the home care industry is revolutionizing patient care by bringing treatment, monitoring, and diagnosis to patients' homes. Technologies like online pharmacies, wearables, and medical-grade devices enable this shift, enhancing patient experience and reducing healthcare costs. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transformation, with healthcare organizations and biotech firms developing advanced at-home care options. A recent webinar featuring patient advocate Robin Farmanfarmaian discussed the importance of patient empowerment and highlighted trends such as full-service online pharmacies, wearable devices, and advanced medical tools for home use. These innovations aim to decrease barriers to care, optimize resources, and ultimately improve patient satisfaction while delivering quality healthcare in the comfort of patients' homes.
