Augmented reality Predicting what advances in technology will shape the future of healthcare , Henderson points out that augmented reality will help to streamline information and content .
“ I think it ’ s really going to help drive a lot of the change in healthcare . There ' s so much information , so much content and it ' s all over the place and this will make it simple for providers , clinicians and the back office workforce .”
Commenting on data analytics , Henderson said this is always going to be a strategic asset when it comes to predictions and will help to see how a hospital is performing in a real-time scenario . “ Embedding those things at the point of clinical care delivery means we ’ re doing a number of things with data science , such as prediction and looking at the history of re-admission or detection of potential events . I think those are the things that are going to become more prevalent .
“ I think those types of technologies are what ' s going to really be critical for healthcare and beyond ,” he said .
As CHOC accelerates its digital transformation one focus is going to be wellness from a paediatric point of view . “ We want to make sure what we ' re doing is providing the opportunity for not only physical wellness , but also mental health and wellness . That ' s the key focus for CHOC in the future . We ' re going to connect and continue to build upon those programs ,” he said .
