论文摘要
技术进步导致了预防，诊断，治疗和护理的医疗保健方面的显着改善。虽然足智多谋的地区可以利用最先进的医疗保健技术，但对于低资源地区，可能存在技术支持的医疗保健可用性的障碍和延迟。受到低资源区域的限制为指导的独特创新，才能真正使医疗保健技术无处不在，并实现“所有人的医疗保健”的目标。在这篇综述中，我们确定了几项研究和发展工作，这些研究研究了针对低资源地区的基于技术的医疗创新。我们发现了三个主要的工作支柱：用于医疗设备的负担能力，信息和通信技术（ICT）工具（ICT）工具的低成本硬件，以用于医疗服务中的可扩展性和运营效率以及移动健康解决方案。在低资源区域，例如人工智能，物联网（IoT）和区块链技术等低资源区域的医疗保健也有希望。我们在这篇评论中也讨论了这些新兴技术。
Technological advancements have led to significant improvements in healthcare for prevention, diagnosis, treatments, and care. While resourceful regions can capitalize on state-of-the-art healthcare technologies, there might be barriers and delays in technology-enabled healthcare availability for a low-resource region. Unique innovations guided by the constraints of low-resource regions are required to truly make healthcare technologies ubiquitous and achieve the goal of "healthcare for all". In this review, we identified several research and development works that have investigated technology-based healthcare innovations targeted at low-resource regions. We found three main pillars of work towards this end: low-cost hardware for the affordability of medical devices, use of information and communication technology (ICT) tools for scalability and operational efficiencies in healthcare services, and mobile health solutions. Several emerging technologies are also promising for healthcare in low-resource regions, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain technology. We discuss these emerging technologies too in this review.
