Technology eases care workloads so that professionals can improve their interaction with patients and families.
Empathy, understanding, feeling that you have some sort of control, or information about what is going on behind the hospital doors when you have a family member inside, is essential for many people who feel vulnerable in those moments of anxiety.
The feeling of uncertainty or anxiety is the most common feeling in hospital waiting rooms, and a feeling that has increased in the last year due to COVID-19 and the need for health safety protocols.If its already difficult to spend hours without being able to see the condition of a relative during their procedures, the feeling of unease increases when you cannot be physically present at the hospital; the feeling that something could happen, and we are not close to our loved ones to support them or just have information generates insecurity and anxiety.
This situation has been combined with the natural hospital stress, which now has seen multiplied by the workload generated by the pandemic, affects the quality of care.

The impact that digitalization has on human health is a fact and turning this impact into a process that connects directly with people’s state of mind to give them comfort and significantly improves healthcare.
