Competitiveness of modern states is
increasingly dependent on the method and scope of using
information-communications technologies (ICTs) in the
economy and in the implementation of the states' care
functions. The application of information-communications
technologies (ICTs) in health care is of special
importance due to observed dynamic changes taking
place in social structures. The main factors contributing
to the widespread use of information-communications
technologies (ICTs) in health care include demographic
changes, the increase in the duration of human life, the
increase in health care expenditures, progress in medical
science and the increase in patients' ability to use
automated devices. The aim of this article is to
characterize the main ideas forming the architecture of
the Healthcare 4.0 concept and to place this concept in a
broader perspective of the Industry 4.0 concept.
