Wearable Technology Changing Healthcare

As I was looking for innovation in healthcare, I came across a company called Palarum that got my attention. Palarum is pushing the envelope of technology and innovation to significantly improve healthcare. In my research, I went to Patrick Baker who is a visionary and pioneer innovating at the intersection of wearables and technology.

Robert Reiss: Can you share with us how new wearable technologies are helping to improve patient care?

Patrick Baker: As a former chief nursing officer, I experienced firsthand the benefits and challenges of introducing new technologies that not only improve patient care but also improve the patient experience. This is especially true for SMART wearable technology. Wearable medical devices provide clinicians the ability to remotely monitor patients 24/7 in almost any setting. This is especially important as hospitals continue to expand their telehealth and “at home” care capabilities.
