Master's thesis

Abstract:

Healthcare facilities are adapting to the new technology trends to keep the best automated approaches for better treatment methods. Health 4.0 is a latest concept that introduces Industry 4.0 approach and new resilient and robust technological capabilities to the vulnerable and regulated environment of healthcare industry in a safe and secure form. In this thesis, first the current technologies and current status of healthcare industry are observed. Later, eHealth survey of World Health Organization (WHO) is compared with the demographic and IT background properties in national level to find correlations between the government support and the country profiles. As another outcome of the data analysis, a pilot country who doesn’t have an mHealth program is selected to be supervised, compared with the good model countries. Afterwards, the concept model of Health 4.0 for healthcare providers, facilities and organizations is designed with the information strategies defined and verified, taking the specific example of diabetics, which is a best fit for the built model.
