Applications of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its Significance in Health and Healthcare Flashcards
Beginning around 1760, through the advent of the steam engine, steam was powering everything from agriculture to textile manufacturing.
The First Industrial Revolution: The Age of Mechanical Production
The world began to rely on steam power and machine tools, while steamships and railroads revolutionized how people got from A to B. And what emerged as the new center of community life, The factory.
The First Industrial Revolution: The Age of Mechanical Production
Things started to speed up with a number of key inventions like gasoline engines, airplanes, chemical fertilizer. All inventions that helped us go faster and do more.
The Second Industrial Revolution: The Age of Science and Mass Production
Most notably, the assembly line, which effectively powered mass production.
The Second Industrial Revolution: The Age of Science and Mass Production
By 1900, 40% of the US population lived in cities, compared to just 6% in 1800. Along with increasing urbanization, inventions such as electric lighting, radio, and telephones transformed the way people lived and communicated.
The Second Industrial Revolution: The Age of Science and Mass Production
When you stop and think about it, it was this industrial revolution, this one, that ushered in the modern world.
The Second Industrial Revolution: The Age of Science and Mass Production
Beginning in the 1950s, ________revolution brought semiconductors, mainframe computing, personal computing, and the
The Third Industrial Revolution: The Digital Revolution
the digital revolution.
The Third Industrial Revolution: The Digital Revolution
Things that used to be analog moved to digital technologies, like an old television you used to tune in with an antenna (analog) being replaced by an Internet-connected tablet that lets you stream movies (digital).
The Third Industrial Revolution: The Digital Revolution
The move from analog electronic and mechanical devices to pervasive digital technology dramatically disrupted industries, especially global communications and energy.
The Third Industrial Revolution: The Digital Revolution
Electronics and information technology began to automate production and take supply chains global.
The Third Industrial Revolution: The Digital Revolution
Mobile and Cloud computing belongs to this revolution.
The Third Industrial Revolution: The Digital Revolution
Describes the exponential changes to the way we live, work and relate to one another due to the adoption of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
This revolution is expected to impact all disciplines, industries, and economies.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Smart technologies in our factories and workplaces, connected machines will interact, visualize the entire production chain and make decisions autonomously.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
will change not only what we do but also who we are. It will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it: our sense of privacy, our notions of ownership, our consumption patterns, the time we devote to work and leisure, and how we develop our careers, cultivate our skills, meet people, and nurture relationships.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
it is already changing our health and leading to a “quantified” self, and sooner than we think it may lead to human augmentation. The list is endless because it is bound only by our imagination.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Necessity of daily life and may be the most popular mHealth device
Medical Apps
Medical Apps
Example:
diabetic patients using mobile apps to enter their glucose readings, diet and exercise data that is sent remotely to their physician for review and a message is sent back to the patient with feedback
One of the hottest technology trends in healthcare is the IoT
Wearable Healthcare Technology
Wearable Healthcare Technology: Medical companies develop new products:
- Smart contact lenses\smart medical apparel
- Neurological devices
- Monitoring skin patches
Uses and examples of IoMT:
- Asset Tracking -
- Drug management: “Digital Pill”
- Smart Biosensors - monitor vital signs and other health conditions
Example: FitBit - to track fitness activities, blood pressure, sleep patterns and calories
tying in patient data to health insurance providers to encourage patients to take ownership of their healthcare needs
Big Data
