Healthcare is considered a renowned profession in modern science and deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of various diseases or abnormalities. Healthcare is mainly delivered by healthcare professionals and is associated with various fields such as optometry, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, midwifery, audiology, cardiology psychology, and so on. It also includes psychotherapy, hydrotherapy, pharmacotherapy, massage therapy, behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy and various other disciplines. Other systems of medicine such as Unani, Homeopathy and Ayurveda are also concerned with the prevention, treatment and cure diseases through various methods and keeping balance in life. The data is collected from various sources, surveys and literature. An extensive literature search was performed along with hospital visits to know various healthcare system technologies. The data is also collected from physicians and patients. The healthcare system mainly focuses on safeguarding the lives of the patients. All these prevention and cure aspects of modern medicine were initially achieved through naturopathy, Siddha, yoga, meditation, homeopathy, and later through physical consultation, medicines and injections and even operations. These all methods have now become much easier, safer and more convenient than earlier due to the use of science and the latest technologies in this field. Due to this advancement, integrating the patient’s data, history, monitoring patient condition, online examination and treatment has led to the overall efficiency of the healthcare team.
