Abstract

The integration of ICT has shown to be crucial in changing how healthcare is delivered, managed, and optimized in light of both the fast improvements in technology and the growing complexity of healthcare systems. Advancement in information and communication technology has embraced healthcare by reducing healthcare costs, précised evaluation, and better patient satisfaction. Revolutionizing healthcare using ICT is distributed in various fields of healthcare. A comprehensive literature search was done to evaluate recent advancements and transformative trends in healthcare communication and its effect on patient care. Telehealth is a cutting-edge method of delivering healthcare that makes use of communication technologies to offer medical treatments remotely. Precision medicine represents an innovative strategy for enhancing disease prevention, health promotion, and the treatment of various medical ailments. The review concluded inclusion of telehealth and ICT in healthcare is an absolute necessity for advanced and personalized patient care leading to improved quality of the healthcare delivery system.
