Abstract:
This paper presents an open source platform aimed at revolutionizing healthcare delivery in the United States by significantly reducing the cost of virtual healthcare software. The proposed platform addresses the pressing challenges of accessibility and efficiency in the U.S. healthcare sector through cloud native backend solutions and mobile apps driven by modular design and IoT-enabled devices. By leveraging IoT technology, virtual healthcare platforms can provide real-time monitoring, remote consultations, and personalized care, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. The platform emphasizes nationwide scalability, inclusivity, and a transition towards a proactive, patient-centric healthcare model. By leveraging the opensource community, modular design and a plugin architecture, it aims to enable feature extensibility beyond what is foreseeable today, promote interoperability, ensure data privacy and security, and promote technology adoption among healthcare providers and patients. The proposal presented in this paper lays the foundation for the implementation aimed at harnessing the full potential of IoT and virtual healthcare to enhance accessibility and efficiency in the U.S. healthcare sector, ultimately advancing the quality of care and well-being of the population.
