ABSTRACT

Medical tourism has seen a tremendous rise in recent years. At present, technologies are giving a stronger push to medical tourism and integrating its stakeholders under the smart healthcare system (SHS). This study determines the applications of the SHS for medical tourism and how the integration of networks is happening in SHS to benefit medical tourism. The results of this study explain that mobile health, telehealth, blockchain technology, cloud technology, internet of medical things (IoMT), virtual reality, and artificial intelligence are key technological applications in SHS enlarging medical tourism. The applications of SHS provide a safe and strong roof to its stakeholders. This study presents a systematic medical travel process of medical tourists supported by smart technologies and draws some strategies for medical tourism development. Further, the study contributes to the existing body of knowledge and paves a way for enhancing smart healthcare systems and smart medical tourism concepts.

摘要

近年来，医疗旅游出现了巨大的增长。目前，技术正在大力推动医疗旅游并将其利益相关者整合到智能医疗系统（SHS）下。本研究确定了 SHS 在医疗旅游中的应用，以及网络整合如何在 SHS 中发生以使医疗旅游受益。这项研究的结果解释了移动医疗、远程医疗、区块链技术、云技术、医疗物联网 (IoMT)、虚拟现实和人工智能是 SHS 扩大医疗旅游的关键技术应用。SHS 的应用为其利益相关者提供了一个安全而坚固的屋顶。本研究提出了一个系统的医疗旅游者在智能技术支持下的医疗旅游过程，并提出了一些医疗旅游发展的策略。此外，该研究有助于现有的知识体系，并为加强智能医疗系统和智能医疗旅游概念铺平了道路。
