How Medical Cyber-Physical Systems Are Making Smart Hospitals a Reality

Abstract

Cyber medical systems, first developed in 2006, had up to this point been an experimental concept but have evolved into a basic requirement of modern healthcare delivery. These systems became seen as significant when the U.S. President's Council of Science and Technology designated them as the top research priority in 2008.Cloud based solutions as well as intelligent monitoring capabilities are significantly reshaping healthcare as a medical cyber physical system. These systems prove very accurate in detecting early Alzheimer's disease with 98.20% precision. Additionally, there has been patient safety and treatment efficacy in various healthcare scenarios such as high risk pregnancy, and respiratory diseases.The examples of medical cyber physical systems have become part of the healthcare revolution that went past basic monitoring. Smart grids, autonomous systems and a stream of other technologies are tackling a global lack of medical professionals as well as improving access to quality healthcare. Looking towards 2025, with the trend of artificial intelligence and cyber physical systems being integrated, we will be able to detect disease and deliver patient care even better.
