IoT and Virtual Hospital Industry: Global IoT Enabling Next Generation Virtual Hospital

The healthcare industry is embracing new digital technologies at a rapid pace to improve patient outcomes and transform the delivery of care. Internet of Things (IoT) powered solutions are connecting medical devices, integrating telehealth capabilities, and enabling new care models like virtual hospitals that remove geographic barriers. By 2023, IoT healthcare spending is projected to reach $217 billion globally as innovations reshape every aspect of the patient experience from diagnosis to long-term wellness. Connecting Medical Devices with IoT and Virtual Hospital Industry At the core of Global IoT and Virtual Hospital is their ability to remotely monitor patients anytime from anywhere. This relies on medical devices being networked and sensors wirelessly transmitting vital sign data in real-time to the cloud for analysis. IoT is enabling a wide range of devices from blood pressure cuffs and glucose monitors to EKG and pulse oximetry equipment to seamlessly integrate with electronic health records systems. Doctors can easily access streams of patient data via mobile or web applications to track recovery, identify issues early, and proactively adjust care plans as needed from a distance. For example, IoT enabled ventilators allow respiratory therapists to monitor lung function remotely for COPD and asthma patients at high risk of exacerbations. Delivering Telehealth at Scale One of the key benefits of IoT powered virtual hospitals is their ability to provide telehealth services to many more patients across broader geographies. Instead of relying on in-person clinic or hospital visits which can be time-consuming and costly for those in remote areas, IoT infrastructure facilitates real-time video consultations, remote patient monitoring, and live specialist evaluations anytime via mobile or web. This improves access to quality care for underserved communities worldwide. Leading health systems are implementing IoT ecosystems that seamlessly integrate telehealth capabilities like virtual check-ins, remote patient monitoring, and medical device data straight into their telemedicine portals and workflows. The Doximity platform, for example, connects over 560,000 physicians virtually to deliver telehealth at an unmatched scale. Transforming Care Delivery Models IoT is revolutionizing traditional care delivery models through new virtual hospital concepts that reimagine where and how healthcare is provided. Remote patient monitoring is shifting many services like post-acute care, senior care, and chronic disease management to the home. U.S. virtual health provider BestDOT utilizes an IoT platform to enable full service hospitals without physical infrastructure by leveraging connected medical equipment, EHR integrations, telehealth carts and a care coordination system available anywhere. Their virtual hospitals can stand up pop-up clinics or replace facilities damaged by natural disasters, improving both capacity and disaster response.

My doctor: Hey yeah that's not normal I don't think it's an issue with your hip

Me: Oh?

My doctor: It's an issue with your spine

Me: OH

[academiccockroach]

it's 1 AM and I have a very specific bone to pick with a very specific thing I consume, enjoy and endorse wholeheartedly

here's the thing about vampire bites. they are depicted as this little unhinged and nasty but mostly sexy thing right. our guy (gender neutral) gets bitten and it's like ah! it hurts but also it hurts good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). and here im talking about like. proper vampire teeth, non of that twilight bullshit just two to four proper fangs nothing more nothing less

well clearly the person writing the sexy biting smut scene has never been bitten by a cat. I dont mean like 'ah no Scruffy bit me a little' i don't even mean 'oh no Sceuffy bit me a lot' i mean like a fully grown ass feral cat that has never been touched by human in its life and craves the taste of flesh biting thru skin muscle cartilage -even sometimes bone- whatever the fuck you got in your meat sack that tiny needle thin tooth is piercing right through it

and here's the thing. it doesn't hurt at first oh no. okay well it hurts but if doesn't hurt too much ya know what i mean. and it leaves a cute little mark nothing serious at all

but in a day that wound is gonna swell. and it's gunna. hurt like all fuck because it just directly injected about five gazillion bacteria directly into a neat little incubation pouch and then closed it right up. its gona swell its gonna ooze and throb and hurt and if that shits in your neck ur pretty much done for i mean an infection right next to the jugular is just easy mode for the bacteria

so unless your vampire boyfriend gargles with antiseptic beforehand you aint gotta worry about turning or bleeding out or developing a biting kink cus youre gonna be delirious from meningitis with a football sized phlegmone in your neck beggjng for the sweet sweet release of death thank you for coming to my ted talk please ensure your vampire boyfriend employs proper dental hygiene

so ummm. any other ppl with chronic pain feel like painkillers don't work for them anymore. i keep seeing others make posts like 'that relatable chronic pain feel when you're just waiting for the painkillers to kick in amirite' but for me even strong prescription painkillers do almost nothing. the only thing that helps is being in hospital under anaesthetic, but obviously that isn't practical for my everyday life. idk maybe other folks with chronic pain have found pain management that suits them but i am taking the strongest pain meds my consultant is comfortable prescribing and they do close to nothing 🙂

Hi! I'm a biologist and I want to correct a couple of these for the safety of Those On The Internet! Please note I am not a doctor, I am not your doctor, and if you need more information, please message or call your doctor and ask for help. If it is an emergency, call your local emergency services.

Ice/ziploc bag: Ice can and often does bring down swelling and inflammation, which often causes more pain in an area. Swelling and inflammation can press on nerves, making them more painful, or cause the skin and tissue to stretch in a way that hurts, and over time this can make healing slower or more difficult. (WebMD source for instructions) TLDR: Ice does help healing!

InstaPot: you probably cannot achieve "sterility" at home, because sterility indicates that there are No Microbes on your implements (PLEASE do not try to sterilize fabric, gauze, or wound dressings at home. Even hospitals don't do that in their fancy autoclaves. If it is used or visibly dirty, throw it away.) Sterility requires that the implements 1) reach a certain pressure 2) reach a certain temperature 3) keep both of those for a certain amount of time. The numbers I learned are 15PSI at 121°C for 30 minutes, but they vary based on specific machine and specific item (CDC source). From what I can find, InstaPot doesn't reach those numbers, and ten minutes is not enough. DO NOT attempt surgery at home. The tips below are for things like "my doctor said I could use clean scissors to cut my stitches". If you need something clean for home use and it's visibly dirty, scrub it with soap and hot water and dry it with clean disposable towels. You can toss it in the IP if you want, but you might see better results from wiping it down with rubbing alcohol. From what I can find, IP was tested along with other pressure cookers for use as a sterilizer. The GoWise pressure cooker capped out at 13PSI, which is less pressure than generally indicated for sterilization. You can read that paper and decide if you want to use it as a guideline for home sterilization, but it will need more than ten minutes. TLDR: If it's dirty, scrub with hot soapy water and dry with clean disposable towels. You probably don't have the resources to sterilize at home.

tips from this list that sound right (but I'm not a medical professional):

entire head of lettuce

rice sock

electrolyte drink

fresh coffee grounds

tips from this list YOU SHOULD CHECK NOW (hopefully with your doctor/medical professional) BEFORE TRYING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY:

severe hot chocolate

sucking chest wound

suggestion for post topic: list of improvised first aid/medical supplies & uses from things commonly found in a kitchen

The following is, as usual, not medical advice:

What I like to call "Severe" Hot Chocolate: Do you have asthma? COPD? Don't have your inhaler with you? Severe Hot Chocolate might help! In a sauce pan over low heat, combine 1Tb sugar and 3Tb unsweetened cocoa powder with a little water. Once its combined into a sludge, add a cup of milk or milk substitute of choice and stir to combine and heat. Then drink. It will be bitter, but not too bad if you like dark chocolate.

An Entire Head of Lettuce: Need to poop? Wanna do it tomorrow morning? Eat an entire head of iceburg lettuce in one go (with or without dressing).

Lite Salt: Need electrolyte replacement or a cheap sports drink? Dissolve 1/2tsp Lite Salt (half sodium chloride and half potassium chloride) in 2 cups of lemonade or other flavored drink. Sugar actually helps with the absorption of the electrolytes, but if you need a no sugar drink you can do that too.

Plastic Wrap: Stabbed in the chest? Unfortunate. Get a piece of plastic wrap to put over the wound and tape it down snugly. The sucking chest wound will still be there but it will buy time to get to a hospital.

Ice/ziploc bags: While ice doesn't help things heal, it sure makes them feel better. Put some ice in a bag and wrap that bag in a towel and put that on your musculoskeletal injury for pain relief.

Instant Pot: Need to sterilize something made of metal? Don't want to use a chemical? Put it on a shelf in your pressure cooker and add some water to the bottom. 10 mins on high pressure should do it.

Rice (in a sock): Fill a sock with dry white rice. Microwave it for a minute or so. Use it for cramps or back pain.

Fresh Coffee Grounds: This isn't so much a medical thing (though it is frequently used in hospitals) as it is a good-to-know. Coffee grounds absorb biological odors. Just put a little bowl of them in a room with a poop or BO-type smell and it will absorb it.

ok, i lied... vicodin DOES have an effect on me (if i forget that i already took it and take it again like 10mins latrr)

[educationinfo44]

NSAID stands for Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug. It is a class of medications commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. NSAIDs work by inhibiting the production of certain enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX), which are involved in the production of prostaglandins, substances that play a role in pain and inflammation. These medications can be purchased over-the-counter or prescribed by a healthcare professional, depending on the strength and formulation. Rungta College of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Research which is best pharmacy college in chhattisgarh has now widened its aslope and is a combination of traditional roles such as determent and dispensing medications along with the modern services.

“Do not take ibuprofen by mouth or apply it to your skin if you have ever had an allergic reaction or symptoms like wheezing, runny nose or skin reactions after taking aspirin, ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen.”

Fun Fact!

If you are bleeding out, specifically from multiple wounds in the stomach, you should NOT take ibuprofen as a precautionary measure. Ibuprofen is considered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which are a group of drugs that can have a blood thinning effect or reduce your body's blood clotting ability, meaning you may bleed out quicker!

POV you have multiple gun shot wounds

[suguru-getos]

Geto’s always used to your perfect little body, until he catches you a few days before your period. You’re bloated, cranky, and just not letting him touch you anywhere except your neck. Baggy clothes, until he finally hears you mumble, “M’ just bloated right now, leave me alone.”

“Are you uncomfortable? Does it hurt? Maybe some anti-inflammatory drugs would help.” He is instantly searching for solutions, until he looks at you and realises. Oh… oh.

“Do you think I care?” He raises a brow, crossing his arms in defense and waiting for you to answer. “Just. Whatever… it’s not like you’re going to be judging me as such… it’s just I’m not going to look as attractive.”

Suguru bites his lip to hide a little smile he’s having, thinking of how to shove those thoughts out of your mind.

Behold, you’re settled snug on his lap, his big, beefy and nervy hand holding your breast, the other wrapped around your throat as he plunges you on his cock over and over in front of a full length mirror. Your back snug against his chest as he whispers, “look at you, tell me you look like an Angel…”

You’re too cross eyed to argue anyways… especially when Geto has one goal in his head, make you feel good both physically and mentally. ;)

Writing Notes: Scars

Scars - marks created during the healing of damage to the skin or tissues.

After skin or tissue is wounded, the body releases collagen to mend the damage.

Collagen, a protein, reattaches the damaged skin.

As the wound heals, a temporary crust forms and covers it. The crust is a scab that protects the damaged area.

Scarring is the natural process of repairing an open wound, injury, surgical incision, or other conditions like acne.

Initially, a scar is red - blood vessels are created while the body forms scar tissue.

The damaged area is covered by a protective scab that eventually falls off.

The scar may become brown or pink.

It generally fades over time and becomes less visible.

The healing process takes from one year to 18 months. Some scars heal naturally. Other scars require additional treatment.

Hypertophic Scars and Keloids

Caused by an over-active healing process.

This produces an excessive amount of collagen at the wound site.

Both types of scars are red, thick, and raised above the wound.

Hypertophic scars do not extend beyond the wound site. The scar may itch and usually heals without professional treatment in about a year.

Keloids are large scars that could form after surgery, an injury, burn, or body piercing. This scarring often occurs on the ear lobe or chest.

Sometimes keloids develop spontaneously.

The keloid is raised, rigid, and grows beyond the wound. It can continue to grow.

Scars are generally harmless, but may itch or feel tender.

In addition, a person may feel self-conscious about the scar’s appearance.

Contracture Scars

Caused by the loss of a large section of skin due to burns or other injury.

The scar contracts or tightens around the wound.

This contraction could impact a person’s mobility.

If the scar deepens, it could affect muscles and nerves.

Acne Scars

May appear after the severe stage of acne, a skin condition usually caused by hormonal changes.

The inflammatory condition is seen in adolescence, but acne can occur later in life.

Severe acne is triggered by clogged pores that cause bacteria to multiply.

It occurs more frequently in adolescent boys than girls.

If the acne is not treated, there could be scarring.

The types of scars include pit-like pockmarks.

TREATMENT

A scar is permanent and cannot be completely removed.

However, treatment can alter a scar’s appearance.

Procedures range from the application of over-the-counter ointment to surgery.

Scar treatment should start after an injury because wound care affects scarring.

The wound should be cleaned and covered.

Picking at the scab breaks the collagen and allows germs to enter the wound.

Time also helps with healing.

Scars become smaller, and the color fades.

However, additional treatment is required for some scars.

While some procedures are more effective for keloids and hypertrophic scars, the procedure for acne scars is based on the type of scarring.

Treatment for burn scars may include skin grafts surgery.

Surgery - "scar revision"; the procedure modifies the scar’s appearance.

Steroid Injections - a singular form of treatment for scars, particularly keloid and hypertophic scars. Corticosteroids are an anti-inflammatory drug that helps to lessen the scar’s red color and thickness. The treatment flattens the scar and helps with itching.

Cyrosurgery - involves the freezing of freezes tissue with a probe containing nitrous oxide. It is used to modify scars, especially keloid and hypertrophic scars.

Dermabrasion - the removal of a layer of the skin’s surface. Scars including those caused by acne are smoothed or sanded by an instrument.

Silicone gel sheets - an be purchased over-the-counter. The sheets are worn over the scar area to seal moisture. The treatment helps with itching and to reduce scar thickness and color.

Alternate methods - of treating scars range from applying Vitamin E to massaging the skin. People should consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional before starting treatment involving contact with the scarred area. These procedures include applying obtained Vitamin E, aloe vera, or cocoa butter to the scar. Vitamin E is sold as an oil or obtained by opening a vitamin capsule. Aloe is an African plant and is sold in capsule form and as a skin care product. Cocoa butter is a fat made from cacao seeds. Those items are thought to help with healing so that a scar is less visible. However, time also helps to lessen the scar’s appearance. Those substances should be applied only after a scar is well-healed. Massaging mild scars is done to relax rigid scar tissue. The scar is massaged for about two minutes. Afterwards, Vitamin E oil is applied to the skin. The process should be discontinued if the area becomes sore or red.
