Toward Medical Services Quality Improvement through Industry 4.0 in Healthcare

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to reveal how Industry 4.0 and its technologies can be used in medicine in order to improve the quality of the medical act in the healthcare sector. Industry 4.0 represents a significant technological revolution characterised by interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data transfer, effectively merging physical operations and production with advanced digital technology. This revolution underpins the integration of cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and other cutting-edge technologies within the industrial production environment. Due to its vast scope and profound impact, Industry 4.0 is evolving at an exponential rate. These digital transformations are also profoundly affecting the healthcare sector, transitioning traditional systems into intelligent systems with the goal of enhancing the quality of medical services. The significance of Industry 4.0 in healthcare can be observed in the improved interaction between providers and patients, the enhanced performance of medical teams, and the increased promptness and efficiency in delivering medical services while achieving desired outcomes at reduced costs. Additionally, it ensures the continuity and safety of medical care. Industry 4.0 is crucial for the healthcare system as it supports the essential quality attributes that underpin the delivery of medical services. It enhances accessibility, effectiveness, and efficiency, promotes professional competence, facilitates interpersonal relationships, ensures continuity and safety of care, and contributes to the development of innovative medical solutions. The adoption of these technologies is vital for establishing a modern, patient-centred healthcare system.
