Advanced information technologies and techniques for healthcare digital transformation and adoption in ophthalmology

Abstract

Acquiring and processing a large number of, including different formats, patient data, and enhanced communication with patients are roles of advanced information technologies, and techniques that can be adopted in healthcare digital transformation. The aim of this chapter is to contribute in specific interdisciplinary research that was narrowed to one branch of medicine, ophthalmology. Our research consisted of several stages such as literature investigation, thematic analysis, classification, questionnaire, and interview. In central part of the research we dealt with selected use cases and schematic proposals of multi-perspective architecture in digital transformation for ophthalmology. Because some stages of our research were already published that in this chapter we communicate in details only the results of literature investigation and questionnaire. At the stage of literature investigation we examined five preselected searchable database sources and via questionnaire we scanned the awareness and opinions of the members from Slovak Ophthalmological Society.
