The paper emphasizes the importance of addressing these technological changes in healthcare policy and regulation to ensure that they align with the principles of patient-centered care. In conclusion, the intrusion of technology in healthcare is reshaping the patient-provider relationship and the delivery of care, offering immense promise for patient-centered care while necessitating thoughtful consideration of ethical, privacy, and accessibility concerns in this evolving landscape.
