Emerging Technologies

A hospital and health care services provider, Meridian Health is extending the role of traditional health care, by applying emerging technologies in the clinical and home settings. Through partnerships with many leading technology innovators, Meridian is actively piloting new uses for leading edge digital, sensory, and common consumer technologies, building an electronic health information bridge between patients, their physicians, and hospitals.

Creating a health care system with new levels of seamless connectivity from hospital, to the physician, to the home, and to the patient themselves, will enable seniors and their family caregivers to more independently manage their health and wellness in more effective ways.
