In health, everything is (or should be) connected 🤝 The digital health ecosystem is fragmented, and if we do not glue the bits together, patients will fall through the digital cracks and the outcomes we strive for will not be achieved. https://lnkd.in/gWeP9BbB #generalpractice #primarycare #familymedicine #technology #digitalhealth

Every stroke is different. That’s why we developed Tailored Talks – a digital platform designed to enable clinicians to create and share personalised information packages for each individual patient. We understand that a stroke doesn’t just impact physical well-being; it can have an effect on every facet of life. Within Tailored Talks we have curated an extensive library of over 3,500 slides covering a spectrum of topics, form physical symptoms to mental health, lifestyle guidance and resources for navigating challenges like returning to work and financial strains. By utilising Tailored Talks, clinicians can confidently share NHS-approved, medically accurate and relevant information, empowering patients to take charge of their condition and recover from the comfort of home. Our objectives include: -       Fostering self-management among patients 💡 -       Addressing health disparities through tailored information 🌿 -       Potentially alleviating strain on medical resources 🩺 Digital solutions like Tailored Talks not only fill the gaps in care for stroke patients but also offer promise for managing other chronic conditions. Collaboration among healthcare providers, patients and industry stakeholders is essential for advancing patient care and bridging existing gaps in the healthcare landscape.

Interesting CPD accredited webinar coming up looking improving the care of patients requiring antipsychotic medication.

Heart Health in the GLP-1 Era: Role of Remote Patient Monitoring - HIT Consultant #RemotePatientMonitoring #GLP1 #HeartHealth Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is revolutionizing healthcare delivery by enabling continuous monitoring of patients' health status outside traditional healthcare settings. In the GLP-1 era, RPM plays a crucial role in managing heart health and improving outcomes for patients with diabetes. #Benefits of RPM in Heart Health RPM allows healthcare providers to monitor patients' vital signs, medication adherence, and lifestyle habits remotely. This real-time data helps in early detection of heart-related issues, leading to timely interventions and improved patient outcomes. #Challenges in Implementing RPM for Heart Health Despite its benefits, implementing RPM in heart health care comes with challenges such as data security concerns, interoperability issues, and patient engagement ai.mediformatica.com #health #bloodpreure #monitoring #glp1 #withings #data #heart #healthcare #providers #daily #obesity #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth #healthit #healthtech #healthcaretechnology @MediFormatica (https://buff.ly/4czjbZW)

Digital developments in the healthcare sector: Are we experiencing real change or are we just at the beginning? 🌐 We are on the threshold of a new era: the fusion of #digitalization and #healthcare is not just a buzzword, but a reality that fundamentally changes #medical practice. Recent insights from the Stiftung Gesundheit survey reveal a fascinating trend: a significant number of general practitioners (44.6%) are now prescribing digital health applications (#DiGAs) and apps, indicating a substantial shift in the traditional #healthcare paradigm. This digital wave is not confined to general practitioners alone. Approximately one-third of specialists and psychological psychotherapists are also integrating digital tools into their practice, leveraging these technologies primarily for #therapy support and #preventivecare. ❓However, amidst this digital surge, a pressing question remains: Are we in the midst of a transformation or just at the beginning of #digital #healthcare? 🌐 The initial explosive growth of #DiGAs seems to be stabilizing, with a marked deceleration in the adoption rate, down to a modest 3.5% increase in 2023. This plateau suggests a moment of reflection and possibly, recalibration. The potential of digital health tools is undeniable, with their ability to augment therapy, enhance preventive care, and provide valuable support in aftercare. Yet, the essence of their success lies in their user-friendliness and intuitive design, both for patients and healthcare professionals in addition to scientifically proven and evidence-based content. ❓But what does this mean for the future of healthcare? Is the digitalization of healthcare an unstoppable force, or will it plateau, and require further innovation and adaptation to meet the complex and ever-evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers? What do we need to pave the way for advanced digital usage in prevention and therapy? I addressed these issues in the article “Wish or Truth: Can Digital Interventions Stop the Obesity Crisis?” which will be released in the book Innovation in Life Sciences - The Digital Revolution” this march (Prof. Dr. Dr. Philipp Plugmann MBA M.Sc. M.Sc. Avo Schönbohm Henning von Horsten Moritz von Stosch.) https://lnkd.in/e5RenYHC I am curious about what the next years will bring. One thing is certain, some regulatory and administrative barriers must be broken through, and above all, a greater "we're going for it" attitude is needed. Share your thoughts, experiences, or insights on how digitalization transforms healthcare, its challenges, and the road ahead. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #DiGA #DigitalTransformation #innovationinhealthcare #digitaltherapy #preventivemedicine #precisionmedicine #precisionnutrition #personalizednutrition #personalizedmedicine
