The concept of Health 4.0 emerges as a specific derivation of Industry 4.0. But what is Industry 4.0? This concept arises in Germany in 2011, as a project to improve the industry but without a clear definition (see reference at the end of the article).
From this moment on, Industry 4.0 has been appearing with different interpretations, although there is a unified definition. Industry 4.0 is an umbrella that encompasses nine technologies that help in the transformation of industrial production and process automation.
These technologies are:
- Big Data and Data Analysis
- Simulation
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Augmented Reality
- Cloud Computing
- Additive Manufacturing
- Autonomous robotics
- Cybersecurity
- Integration systems
