While women have made great strides in various areas of the workforce, the healthcare industry has not seen the same level of progress. There are still significant disparities in gender representation in the healthcare and health IT industry. To explore this topic, we interviewed Joy Rios, the Founder, CEO & Host of HIT LIKE A GIRL Podcast, and HIMSS Changemaker in Health Award recipient, to get her perspective on the issue. One of the first questions we asked Joy Rios was why there are fewer women in health IT than men. According to her, there are several factors that contribute to this gender gap. The first reason is the lack of visibility and awareness of the opportunities that exist in health IT for women. Many women are not exposed to the potential careers available in the industry or the benefits of working in this field. Additionally, the industry itself is not always viewed as being friendly towards women. Another contributing factor is the lack of representation of women in leadership roles within the healthcare industry. According to a study by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), women hold only 30% of executive positions in healthcare organizations, and only 13% of CIO positions. This lack of representation can create a barrier for women who aspire to reach leadership positions in the industry. Finally, Joy Rios noted that there are also cultural and societal barriers that discourage women from pursuing careers in health IT. These can include gender stereotypes, cultural expectations, and family obligations. All of these factors can combine to create a challenging environment for women in the industry. In addition to the factors that contribute to the gender gap in health IT, there are also specific barriers that can make it difficult for women to enter the industry. Joy Rios highlighted several of these barriers. The first is the lack of access to education and training programs. Women may not have access to the same educational opportunities as men or may not be aware of the training programs that are available to them. This can limit their ability to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the industry. Another barrier is the lack of mentorship and support networks for women in health IT. Without access to role models and mentors, it can be difficult for women to navigate the industry and identify opportunities for advancement. A third barrier is the lack of flexible work arrangements. Many women have caregiving responsibilities or other obligations outside of work that can make it challenging to pursue a career in health IT. Without the ability to work flexible hours or remotely, women may be forced to choose between their personal and professional obligations. #hitlikeagirl #womenintech #womenIT #HealthIT

This model provides a consistent revenue stream for the company and ensures that users are committed to the service they are using.


Advertising-Based Model: An advertising-based model is another sustainable business model for digital healthcare companies. With this model, the company offers free access to its services and generates revenue from advertisements. The challenge with this model is to ensure that the advertisements are relevant and do not detract from the user experience.


Freemium Model: A freemium model is a combination of the subscription-based and advertising-based models. With this model, the company offers a free version of its service with limited features. Users can then upgrade to a paid version of the service to access additional features.


Direct-to-Consumer Model: A direct-to-consumer model is a sustainable business model that allows digital healthcare companies to sell their products and services directly to consumers. With this model, the company has complete control over the user experience and can collect valuable data to improve its products and services.

In this video, we'll dive into the world of FHIR and explore what it is, the main benefits it offers, the challenges it presents, and how it differs from APIs. We'll also explore how FHIR is making healthcare uncomplicated.


So, what is FHIR? FHIR, or Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, is a standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically. It's designed to make it easier for healthcare providers, patients, and healthcare organizations to access and share healthcare data seamlessly across different systems.


One of the main benefits of FHIR is that it allows for more efficient and accurate healthcare data exchange. With FHIR, healthcare providers can quickly and easily access patient data from other providers, making it easier to provide better, more coordinated care.


However, like any new technology, FHIR also presents several challenges. One of the biggest challenges is ensuring the security and privacy of patient data. As FHIR allows for more efficient and widespread sharing of patient data, it's essential that strict security protocols are in place to protect patient privacy.


Another challenge is the need for standardized data formats. Without standardized data formats, it becomes difficult for different healthcare systems to communicate with each other effectively. FHIR aims to solve this problem by standardizing data formats, making it easier for healthcare systems to exchange information.


So, how does FHIR differ from APIs? While APIs allow for the exchange of data between different systems, they often lack the standardization required to ensure seamless interoperability. FHIR, on the other hand, is specifically designed to provide a standardized approach to healthcare data exchange, making it easier for different systems to communicate with each other.


Now, let's talk about the difference between FHIR and APIs. APIs, or application programming interfaces, are a way for different software systems to communicate with each other. FHIR is a type of API that is specifically designed for healthcare information exchange. It provides a standardized way for different healthcare systems to exchange data with each other.


Finally, let's talk about how we can make healthcare uncomplicated. One way to do this is by implementing FHIR. By making it easier for healthcare systems to communicate and share data with each other, we can create a more coordinated and efficient healthcare system. This can lead to better health outcomes for patients and a more sustainable healthcare system overall.

It started with fitness trackers and now includes everything from smart glasses to smart watches, smart rings, and even smart jewelry. But what do these devices do? What can they tell us about ourselves? And how will they change the way we interact with technology? Digital therapeutics are a growing field, and they're not going anywhere. Digital therapeutics are tools that help people manage their mental health, which can be helpful in the long run. One major implication of this new technology is that it's expanding the scope of wearable technology. Wearable devices are already being used to help people with mental illness, but they're also being used to help people with physical disabilities. Another implication is that digital therapeutics may increase access to mental healthcare services for people who don't have access to it otherwise. In the last few years, digital therapeutics has been a hot topic in the world of healthcare. Wearable devices are one of the most popular forms of digital therapeutics, but they can be hard to understand. Wearables are small devices that you wear on your body and can measure your health. They include things like smart watches and fitness trackers, but they also include more complex devices like electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors or heart rate monitors. The hope is that these devices will help people manage their health better by providing them with real-time data about their bodies and allowing them to act on this information. For example, if a wearable detects that your heart rate is higher than normal, it might send an alert to your phone so that you can check on your health and make sure everything is okay. There is a new wave of technology that is beginning to change the way we live. Wearables are becoming more and more popular, and they're changing the way we think about health. Wearables are devices that you wear on your body, like smart watches or fitness trackers. They're designed to help you track your activity levels throughout the day, which can help you make better decisions about how you spend your time and energy. This technology has been around for a while now, but it's only recently that it has become so affordable and accessible. As a result, people are using wearables to monitor their physical activity and sleep patterns in order to make sure they're getting enough exercise each day and getting enough rest at night. In fact, many people even use these devices as an alarm clock! Wearable technology has opened up new opportunities when it comes to health care because it allows us to keep track of our own health so easily—and this means we don't have to rely on doctors' appointments as often! We can monitor our own progress toward goals like losing weight or increasing our activity levels without having to wait for someone else's approval. #DTx #digitalhealth #healthtech #IoT #healthcare #wearableTech

There are several areas in healthcare that could benefit from the introduction of new technologies, including: 1) Patient monitoring and data collection. As the population ages and technology improves, it's becoming increasingly important to have a better understanding of how patients are doing and what their needs are. This will lead to more accurate diagnoses and better treatment plans that are tailored to each individual patient's needs. 2) Telemedicine. Telemedicine refers to the use of digital technology to connect doctors with patients over long distances, often through video conferencing or other forms of virtual consultation. This is already being widely used in many countries around the world, but it has yet to become a common practice in the United States. As telemedicine becomes more common here, it will allow doctors to provide medical care remotely, which will reduce costs by reducing travel expenses as well as improve accessibility for many people who currently lack access to healthcare services due to their location or employment status (e.g., school bus drivers). 3) Wearable tech/Internet-of-Things (IoT). The IoT refers to any device that connects wirelessly with other devices using an internet connection HealthTech Innovations in 2023 In the next few years, health tech innovations are going to be more important than ever before. This is why it's so important to know what the trends are and what will happen in the next few years. HealthTech Innovations will become more popular, which is a good thing because it's been around for a long time and has helped many people stay healthy. However, as technology becomes more advanced and faster, there will be some new technology that comes out that will change how we live our lives. There are many different types of health tech innovations: medical devices, mobile apps, wearable devices and sensors. HealthTech Innovations are becoming more and more important in the coming years. In the last 10 years, healthTech has made huge strides in improving our quality of life. We now have options for dealing with ailments that were previously very difficult to treat and manage. In addition, we are now able to monitor our health in ways that we never could before, which allows us to better understand how our bodies work and react. It is estimated that by 2023, HealthTech will be a $7 trillion industry #healthtech #digitalhealth #digitalhealthcare #medtech #healthIT #ehealth #mhealth

The question we are asking today is: "How can we implement AI into radiology?" What is AI? AI stands for: "Artificial Intelligence". This is a type of computer system that can learn, understand, solve problems and make decisions without being programmed by people. Why should we use it? Automation and AI can be used in radiology because they are helpful when it comes to handling large amounts of data, making decisions based on the data, and making recommendations based on the data. They can also help us detect patterns in images more quickly than humans ever could The use of automation and AI in radiology is on the rise. Automated detection of abnormalities has been used for several years to identify lesions on chest X-rays, but it is now being applied to other imaging modalities as well. Automated detection of abnormalities has been shown to reduce interpretation time, improve confidence in decisions made by radiologists, and reduce errors compared with manual interpretation of images. Automation can be used in conjunction with human radiologists or independently. Radiology is a field that has been ripe for automation for years. It's a highly detailed, intricate practice that requires manual skill and specialized knowledge. And it's also one of the most important medical fields in which to be accurate—radiology is the only way to diagnose certain cancers and other diseases, so mistakes can be devastating. But now, the technology is finally here to make this happen. AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be used to help analyze images of the body, identifying abnormalities and helping #doctors make better diagnoses than they would have been able to make before. #radiologist #ehealth #digitalhealth #mhealth #telehealth #telemedicine #fujifilm

Everything from the way we collect and store data, to how we process it and how we keep people from making the same mistakes in the future is going to be transformed. However, what digital health really needs is a cooperative attitude – one that can embrace the strengths of all its different stakeholders. Partnerships can help foster this cooperation and make digital health an even more powerful tool for improving our overall well-being. Digital health is an exciting emerging field and it's clear that collaboration between healthcare providers and technology companies can create transformative change. In the same way, technology companies will likely continue to benefit from collaborating with healthcare providers on mobile health solutions. Healthcare is a new digital frontier and no one person or organization can solve the problems of digital health alone. The ecosystem needs to come together in harmony for everyone to win. The ability to use cloud-based big data to assist with clinical decision-making presents potential solutions in the areas of healthcare that need it most. With the right partners, there is no limit to where companies can go. The possibilities for this technology are endless, and it is up to the industry and its leaders to keep pushing forward. It's true that many companies have partnerships with one another. But, the benefits are so great that they have stuck around and can be seen in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, eyewear, optometry, and more. It is the support of different companies working together that can lead to the success of a product. It is often difficult to build a company from the ground up, but being a partner for an existing business can help with giving your company credibility and a large network of resources; this is why partnerships are crucial in digital health today in order to increase chances of success. So you see, partnerships are crucial to increase the chances of success in this crowded market. And when you engage in talks with different players, common courtesy is the best friend of your startup or any business for that matter. Do not let ego and pride get in the way of a fair partnership that will drive mutual growth and success. #digitalhealth #healthcare #digitalinnovation #innovaton #collaboration #partnership

Corporate Innovation: where Digital Health meets Pharma


The world is going through a digital transformation. And this is also true for the pharmaceutical industry, which has always been a pioneer when it comes to innovation. In today's world, innovation needs to be more than just an idea. It needs to be a real-life solution that can make a difference in people's lives. The only way to achieve this is by combining different fields and bringing together experts from different industries.


If you said "digital health," we're right there with you. But let's not forget pharma! Turns out they're both in need of some innovation, and they can help each other out with it.


Take digital health: it's changing how patients manage their health and take care of themselves. But pharmaceutical companies want to be able to reach those patients, too—and they don't want to keep paying for ads that don't work as well as they should. That's where pharma comes in: pharma companies can use their expertise in reaching customers through digital platforms and make sure ads are being seen by the right people at the right time. And since pharma companies have already done the research needed for drug safety and effectiveness, they can also be a big help when it comes to educating patients about how to take care of themselves.


One of the biggest challenges for Digital Health Startups is making sure that the health information (HIPAA-compliant, of course) is secure.


Another challenge is making sure that a startup's digital tools are compatible with other medical devices.


It's also important to make sure that their products are easy to use by patients who may not be tech-savvy.


The digital health industry is growing rapidly, but it's also very young and dynamic. It's important to know what you're getting into before you start your own company.


Here are some of the major challenges and pitfalls that digital health startups face:


1. The healthcare industry has a lot of regulations, and these regulations can vary by state or country.


2. many players in the digital health space have deep pockets, which means that companies need to invest heavily in growth and marketing to stay competitive.


3. Digital health startups often have small teams working on multiple projects at once, which can lead to communication issues among team members if they aren't careful about prioritizing tasks appropriately.


Digital health startups face a lot of challenges, from a lack of funding to get their product off the ground. But some common pitfalls tend to trip up new companies more than others.


One of the biggest challenges for these startups is what we like to call "the pivot." It's not always obvious when it's time for a pivot, but it often comes down to whether or not your product is doing what you need it to do. If you're finding that your users aren't clicking on your ads or using your app as much as they should, then maybe it's time to revisit your product and see if there are ways you can make it better.

Many challenges organizations face regarding Digital Transformation in digital health


The healthcare industry is undergoing a digital transformation. The rapid growth in the adoption of mobile devices and internet connectivity has enabled healthcare providers to offer new services to their customers. These include telemedicine services, online consultations, e-prescriptions, and more.


However, this digital transformation is not without its challenges. Here are some of them:


1) Security concerns: With the growing number of connected devices used by patients as well as employees, there is an increased risk of data breaches which could result in identity theft or financial loss.


2) Privacy issues: Many companies are using Big Data analytics tools to analyze patient data but these tools may be subject to human error or bias which could lead to inaccurate results when making decisions about patient care or treatment options for specific conditions based on information collected from multiple sources such as medical records and electronic medical records (EMR).


3) Difficulties installing new technology systems at hospitals due to time constraints and lack of resources available within each hospital facility (e.g., equipment needed for installation).


Digital transformation is the next big thing in healthcare.


The digital health industry is growing at an unprecedented rate, and it's not slowing down anytime soon. According to a recent report from MarketsandMarkets, the global market for digital health will reach $232 billion by 2022--that's up from $150 billion in 2017.


This growth has been fueled by several factors: the emergence of new technologies like AI and blockchain; increased availability of data through digitalization; and an increased focus on patient experience. But perhaps most importantly, it's driven by a desire for better outcomes for patients and providers alike--which means that as long as people are looking for ways to improve care delivery and increase efficiency, there will always be room for innovation in digital health!


For one thing, it means that digital health companies are going to be hiring--and fast. If you're looking for a job in this field, now is the time to get your application ready! You'll want to make sure your resume is up-to-date and that it highlights any relevant experience or skill sets that could make you an asset to any company.


But digital transformation isn't just about jobs--it's also about improving patient outcomes and making sure everyone has access to quality care at an affordable price point. That's why we're excited about what this trend means for our industry: it means we can focus on providing better solutions while still keeping costs down so everyone can afford them

The Topic is: Taking the pulse on Digital Health We've discussed and touched upon : - Digital Health and the state of the industry right now - How the pandemic impacted digital health - Detect Health Study ( using wearables ) Recommended books by Dr. Eric Tol : 1) The Creative Destruction of Medicine 2) The Patient will see you now 3) Deep Medicine BUY HERE - https://drerictopol.com/books/ Share this episode with your networks: https://youtu.be/TVjUlcLVVEM Connect with Dr. Eric Topol : Twitter - https://twitter.com/EricTopol LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-topol-md-b83a7317/ Website - https://drerictopol.com/ Feel free to 📣 CONNECT WITH ME 🟢: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaobocas/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/WearablesExpert How do you see the state of the industry digital Health right now? It moves very slowly, we've been ready to see a roll out for well over a decade and we have seen some progress obviously the pandemic helped user in Telehealth which is one component but there's so much more especially now that we have the tools of AI to help bring these into the real practice. There's been some progress we still don't have the regard for sensors that I would hope we would broad use of sensors we're still not liberating from keyboard for clinicians. We've made very little progress towards hospital at home which should be attainable, there's many things we can do that we haven't done yet, I would still say we're in the first inning of the digital Health progress and we're still largely an analog entity unfortunately. I do agree with you everything moves really slow unfortunately and we are at the very beginning of this emerging industry. I think it's the most exciting time in medicine and particularly in digital medicine mainly because of deep neural networks The Sweet Spot for AI we're seeing some extraordinary things that are going to change the face of medicine since as you know we rely on scans and images in medicine to a large degree and this will help accuracy but also will provide new information that previously was unattainable and that I think is is really efficient and exciting brilliant We need to use Ai and digital to restore the patient doctor relationship that premise to me is most important as a physician now. For over three decades and as a patient all of us our patients will be patients we've seen marked erosion of that relationship and we need to get it back and the way we get it back the biggest step is the gift of time. The gift of time which is means that we are have more time with patients to listen to hear their stories and concerns to do a careful exam which should include digital tools. I didn't even mention you know smartphone ultrasound which to me is should be part of every physical exam particularly for me it's the smartphone Echo but um also the the rest restoration of trust and presence and empathy all these things have taken a hit in decades since I first became a physician If you have not subscribed, do it now - https://bit.ly/3iQ6EXP#digitalhealth #medicine #healthcare #wearables #digitalhealth #digitalhealthcare #Ai #artificialintelligence

Digital health is a very important part of the healthcare industry. The goal of digital health is to help meet healthcare capacity goals. Digital health helps to improve patient care and make it more efficient.  

With the introduction of digital health, healthcare providers can better serve their patients by providing them with faster access to care. This means that patients do not have to wait for an appointment or go through the hassle of waiting in line at the doctor's office. It also allows patients to interact with their doctor remotely, which means they don't have to travel as much or take time off from work if they need medical attention.  

The healthcare industry is a complex one, and it's not getting any simpler. Healthcare providers are facing new challenges every day, from an aging population to the rise of chronic diseases. At the same time, there's a shortage of healthcare professionals in many regions, making it harder for patients to get access to care.  How can your organization meet these challenges? It all comes down to investing in digital health technologies that let you transform your business while meeting your customers' needs.  Digital health has the potential to help meet healthcare capacity goals in a few ways.  

First, it can make it easier for patients to connect with their providers by providing an electronic medical record that is accessible from any digital device. This will make it easier for patients to schedule appointments and communicate with their doctors, making it easier for them to get the care they need.

Wearable technology is already helping people with mental health issues. Here are a few ways it's done so far:

1. Wearables can monitor an individual's heart rate and blood pressure, which can be key indicators for anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

2. They can also track sleep patterns in order to determine whether someone is getting enough rest or not. This is especially helpful for people who suffer from insomnia or other sleep issues.

3. Wearables can also be used to keep track of the number of steps a person takes each day, which is another indicator of their overall health—and can be useful in detecting problems like diabetes or cardiovascular disease at an early stage before they cause any damage.

Wearable technology is a great way to help with mental health issues. It can be used to monitor your mood and provide you with support when you're feeling down. Wearable technology can also be used to track how much exercise you're getting, which is a very important part of maintaining good mental health.

 The healthcare industry is in the midst of a revolution. Digital health is on the rise, with patients demanding more control over their own care and providers looking for ways to improve efficiency. But even though digital health has great potential, there are many challenges involved with its implementation. Health systems are currently facing the challenge of transforming their existing infrastructure and processes to accommodate the new digital health era that is arriving. 

It's a lot like the shift from analog to digital television—we all knew that it would happen, but no one knew how long it would take or how we'd make the switch. And yet, here we are: we're talking about Digital Health as if it were a given. We know that it's going to happen, but we don't know exactly when or how it will come about. There are many benefits to implementing digital health in your organization, but it's important to consider both the challenges and the opportunities. In this article, we'll explore some of the most important considerations for implementing digital health in your organization.

 What is digital health? 

Digital health refers to the use of technology and data to improve healthcare outcomes. This can include using digital tools and devices to help patients manage their own health or get more personalized care from their doctors. It also includes using technology to improve patient care by providing better data analysis and communication between doctors, patients and caregivers. 

Benefits of Digital Health Implementation There are many benefits from implementing digital health initiatives into your organization: 

1) Reduced costs: Digital health allows for more efficient care that helps reduce costs by reducing unnecessary tests or procedures, catching problems earlier and preventing them from worsening over time.

2) Improved outcomes: Digital health initiatives give patients better access to information about their conditions so they can make informed decisions about treatment options which can lead to better outcomes overall (as long as those decisions are supported by their primary care physician or other trusted healthcare provider). 

3) Increased access: Digital tools allow patients who aren't able to access traditional medical services due to geographical location or financial restrictions Health systems and digital health have a lot in common. Both are complicated, both involve a lot of people, and both involve a lot of change. But what is it about health systems that makes them so difficult to change? 

And what are the steps you need to take to successfully implement digital health into your existing system?

When you are happy and grateful the world is full of opportunities. When you are focused on what is not working in your life, you will remain unhappy and unable to notice the things that do work. The law of attraction works when we see our problems as challenges to be overcome with positivity, creativity and a clear approach.

There is no doubt that human beings are willing to pursue growth and progress, but there is another evolutionary factor that determines how we act. Psychological studies suggest that even relatively simple living creatures, like snails, display a basic level of optimism. Despite the lack of intelligence, and a brain which contains less than one million neurons (compared to one billion for humans), snails tend to go towards the light, trying to find a way out of their shells when put in a dark place. This type of behavior is not being learned from experience; it is an inherent mechanism of evolution, which all life forms share. In other words, we are wired to hope for the best, even if our most basic instincts tell us that it is futile. However, we are also endowed with free will and can choose what we do and how we live our lives. That's why you should never forget to look back once in a while and notice small positive things that happen in your every day life. It will help you keep things in perspective and maintain focus on the bigger picture, regardless of how turbulent times may seem.

After you do something with 100% of your heart and soul, contribute to others, share your knowledge and experience, give advice that helps others to grow in life and/or business, you get extremely happy. Each day I am happier than I was yesterday. That's the recipe for happiness that I have discovered by practicing gratitude.

Yes, studying and working on your diploma is not only to learn new things and make a living, but also can help you build up your own personality. Therefore, being able to study what you want for the rest of your life is one of the best blessings you could ever have in your life.

NeuroTwins & Digital Twins NeuroTwins is a company that is working on helping personalize therapies in patients with brain diseases. NeuroTwins has developed a digital twin of brains, which means that they have a digital copy of your brain. This digital copy of your brain can be used to better understand how you work, how you react to drugs, and what treatments work best for you. Digital twins are copies of real-world systems. These systems are being used by companies like Tesla and Uber to help them understand how their cars or self-driving cars work. 

The same concept applies to our brains. A digital twin of your brain will help NeuroTwins understand how your brain works, so they can create better-personalized therapies for patients suffering from brain diseases. NeuroTwins and Digital Twins are helping to personalize therapies in patients with brain diseases by giving them a digital copy of their brains. NeuroTwins is a company that helps individuals who are suffering from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease by providing them with a digital copy of their brain which can be used to test potential therapies. 

The digital copy of an individual's brain is called a "Digital Twin", and it is created using MRI imaging technology. Once the Digital Twin is created, researchers can use the data to understand how various treatments affect different areas of the brain or particular neurons. The process involves taking high-resolution pictures of an individual's brain using MRI imaging technology. Researchers then use this information to create an accurate representation of the individual's brain which can be used in research studies or clinical trials for personalized therapies. The images produced by NeuroTwins are so advanced that they even show cellular-level details down to synapses and axons within the brain 

What if you could create a digital version of your brain? That’s the idea behind NeuroTwins. NeuroTwins is a platform that allows you to build a digital copy of your brain, called a Digital Twin. This digital twin is used to help personalize therapies in patients with brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Autism.

In this episode, we talked about the #femtech industry and how can #digitalhealth can impact women's health.  

Here are the questions we've addressed:  

01:24 What is FemTech and how is it part of digital health?

The femtech industry is growing fast, and it's no surprise why.  Women are more than half the population, and they have a lot of needs that aren't being met by existing technology. This is especially true regarding their health—women are more likely than men to suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. And when they do, they're often less likely to seek help because of the stigma surrounding mental illness in women.  

So what does this mean for the future of digital health? It means that #digitalhealth can be used to help women manage their mental health more effectively and efficiently. We've seen some great examples of this already: apps like Calm offer guided meditation programs for people who want an alternative to medication or therapy. And there are also apps like Woebot that offer real-time support from trained therapists via text message or messenger app in case you're feeling especially low or anxious.  

As the femtech industry continues to grow, we'll see more and more innovations like these—and hopefully, they'll make it easier for women everywhere to feel supported and cared for as they work toward better mental health!  Women are more likely than men to use digital health tools and self-care apps, according to a recent study from Pew Research Center. This means that we have an opportunity to leverage the power of digital health tools to improve women's health outcomes.  But how do we get there? 

First, we need more data on how digital health is currently being used and how it could be used differently to improve women's health outcomes. Second, we need more research into how online support can help women overcome barriers like stigma or lack of access in their communities. Third, we need more information about which digital interventions work best for different populations so that providers know what resources are available when someone comes in for care or asks for help online. 

And finally, we need better ways of measuring whether these interventions actually lead to improved outcomes for patients over time  Digital health is a booming industry, and it's one that's poised to have a significant impact on women's health.  The femtech industry is growing incredibly rapidly. The number of mobile apps designed specifically for women has increased by over 400% since 2012, and it's estimated that by 2020, the global market for female-focused wearables will be worth $6 billion.

Empowering the Patient Voice in Innovation with Grace Vinton and João Bocas

Empowering the Patient Voice in Innovation with Grace Vinton and João Bocas

João Bocas - The #Wearables Expert ™ Interviews Grace Vinton - Patient Advocate, Digital Health Influencer and Healthcare PR pro.  

In this episode, we talked about #patient voice in #innovation and how we can fix a common problem of dismissing patients' interactions and contributions to create new innovations.  

Here are the questions we've addressed:  

01:27 What is the "care web" and why does seeing care as a "web" help inform patient-informed informatics? 

04:14 What do digital therapeutics and healthcare informatics typically miss about the patient reality? Aren't we all patients? What are we missing?

But there's a problem: sometimes when patients try to contribute their knowledge, we don't listen. It's not because we don't care—it's because we've been trained to think of patients as "the other," as outside of our world, as someone who is different from us.  

That's why we're working so hard to change the way we think about our relationship with patients. We want to see them as collaborators in creating new innovations that will help them live better lives.  We hear it all the time: patients want to be heard.  

They want more than just a place to get their treatment, they want to feel like what they have to say matters and that their experiences can help shape how the healthcare system works. And yet, we still often hear about patients being ignored when it comes to innovation.  

It's not hard to understand why this happens. Doctors and nurses are busy people who are trained to focus on the technical aspects of their jobs, but we also know that there's a lot of value in listening to patients' interactions—and that it can lead directly to better care for everyone involved.  

But where do you start? How do you make sure your team is getting the most out of every interaction with patients? Here are some ideas:  

• Keep an open mind, even if it seems like something isn't possible or feasible right now  

• Ask questions about what people want, instead of assuming you already know what they need  

• Encourage an open dialogue between doctors, nurses, and other members of your team so everyone has a chance at contributing their ideas

The topic of mental health is one that has been gaining attention in the past few years. With the rise of social media and other technologies, there has been a lot of discussion about how these developments affect people's mental health and well-being.   

Community research practices and digital innovations are two areas of study that are rapidly growing in the field of psychology. Currently, there is a lack of research on these two topics. This lack of research means that there is limited understanding about the effects of these practices on mental health and community members' ability to access services. 

 Mental health is a major issue in the UK, and it's an area that needs more research.  

One way to help with this problem is by getting community members involved in research on mental health. Community members can provide valuable insight into how their neighbors are feeling, what's going on in their lives, and what they would like to see changed.  

Community research practices are one way that researchers can involve community members in their work. This blog post will explore some of these practices and why they're important when it comes to mental health research.

When we talk about digital health success, we're referring to both a tangible metric as well as users overall experience. In order to achieve both, you need great employees and strong leadership. Competition is only going to continue to get more intense in this space, and it's time for companies to get their act together. As the adoption of things like wearables grow and the innovations multiply, it is imperative that HR departments provide their company with top level talent through quality-oriented hiring practices. 

Without dedicated teams committed to building a healthy culture instead of a clone farm, businesses will struggle not only now but in the future as well. The healthcare industry might have an uphill battle when it comes to adopting new technologies, but that doesn't mean they can't succeed. They simply need to get the right people on board and make sure they have a solid foundation in place. In any business or industry, grassroots efforts can serve as the foundation of change, and the health industry has plenty of opportunities to do just that. 

How this will all play out is anyone's guess – but only time will tell if it changes how the industry operates. Whatever happens, we'll be along for the ride. These changes, and many others that are occurring in the healthcare industry, have positive consequences. Those who know their job well and stay on top of current developments can succeed, positioning themselves in the best position for success. There's an old saying, "time is money," and the better you are at what you do, the more valuable you become over time. 

Talent is the most important factor in digital health success. There's a reason why there are so many resources and courses designed to teach you how to code, or how to become a project manager, or how to do QA. These skills are vital for digital health companies, but they're not the only things that matter when it comes to your company's success. Talent is the most important factor in digital health success and it's what keeps your company going. 

Talent is key in every part of your business: sales, marketing, product development… even customer service needs talented people! In order for any company to thrive in today's fast-paced environment, they must be able to attract and retain the best talent available—and that means finding candidates who can meet all of their needs in terms of skillsets, competencies, experience levels...and more!

Cardiac Monitoring, Diagnostics to Patient Management discussion with Ron Fridman and João Bocas

João Bocas - The #Wearables Expert ™ Interviews Ron Fridman, Co-Founder & CEO of Mawi, Forbes 30 under 30, Singularity University AI expert and Keynote speaker. 

In this episode, we talked about the missed Puzzle in #Cardiac monitoring, from diagnostics to #patient management. 

Here are the questions we've addressed: 

01:16 The future of remote cardiac monitoring, how long the patient should be monitored, how often, and which devices are most suitable? 

05:03 Talking wearables compliance, elderly people could not deal with existing wearables from the market? 

10:21 Medical Grade and diagnostic capabilities from medical devices versus awareness and wearability from the consumer world?

We see the biggest markets being cardiology, emergency response, and home healthcare. Diagnostics is being automated by algorithms that can interpret EKG waveforms and determine what type of heart issues a patient is having (i.e. if they're in atrial fibrillation or V-tach). Another area where monitoring will take place is during a cardiac event like a stroke. 

A patient experiencing this might not be able to make it to the hospital for treatment, so the algorithms can interpret what's happening and administer the right treatment remotely (e.g. an infusion of tissue plasminogen activator). Patient management currently employed by hospitals is done manually by nurses. This process would be automated so they can focus more on providing actual patient care rather than moving patients around and entering information into an electronic health records. 

The history of cardiac #monitoring goes back to the late 1800s, and it has been a raging area of both development and application in the medical industry ever since its inception. If you have any questions about cardiac monitoring or would like us to expound on any particular aspect of this field, feel free to ask us via our contact form. #CardiacMonitoring systems continue to get both more accurate and easier to use, which means they're likely to become an even more common feature of patient care. 

Healthcare providers can now count on these devices in nearly any environment. Their proliferation will lead to more accurate diagnoses, safer and better care at lower costs—all while sitting in the palm of a paramedic or clinician's hand. With the use of telemonitoring devices and mobile health applications, heart failure patients can monitor their vital signs without having to go out of the house. 

Remote cardiology monitoring will add another dimension and level of convenience to current treatments and services in the industry, enabling early detection of deterioration in a patient's health and delivering timely interventions that may significantly offset disease severity. 

Of course, wearable device development regulation is a must in order to protect the interests of consumers, but for the elderly, who are not accustomed to using this type of technology does not have time to study or too lazy, or could not deal with existing wearables from the market due to various reasons such as high requirements of physical power and easy to fall off. Not mention monitor heart rate monitoring and blood pressure issues need special attention and maintenance every day. I

In an era of increasingly personalized medicine, it's more important than ever for pharma companies to provide their patients with the most effective treatment possible. And that starts with understanding their needs, wants and limitations.

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most advanced when it comes to using digital technology, which is why they have been able to create new ways to improve patient outcomes. The advances made in this area have allowed medical professionals to perform their jobs more effectively and efficiently.

As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, it's important to keep pace with new technologies that will help patients receive better care. The use of digital technologies has been shown to improve patient satisfaction scores and reduce costs by reducing errors and increasing efficiency.

The advancement of digital technology has changed the way we live and do business. The role of pharma companies is no exception. The same technologies that are being used for personal entertainment, social media and communication are also used by the pharma industry to promote their products.

Pharma companies have always been innovative in the way they market their products, but they now have a lot more options at their disposal with digital marketing. Digital marketing allows them to target specific audiences and create tailored content for each individual consumer. It also allows them to track how consumers interact with different forms of content with an aim of improving future campaigns or creating new ones altogether.

The changes brought about by digitalization mean that pharmaceutical firms need to adapt their marketing strategies so that they can remain competitive in today's marketplace. Pharmaceutical companies must be able to understand how consumers interact with different forms of content in order for them to create effective campaigns for their products.

In the past, pharma companies were able to make a profit by charging high prices for their products. The reason for this was because of the cost and time required to produce the drugs. However, with the advent of digital technology, it is now possible for pharma companies to sell their products at lower prices and make a higher profit margin than before.

There is a lot of talk about the connected healthcare future. The idea that we will all have health data, access to it, and be able to share it with our doctors, family members and medical professionals is exciting and scary at the same time. While this may be true, we can't forget that pharmaceutical companies play a vital role in helping us get there.

The future of digital technologies' impact on healthcare is an exciting one. We are already seeing it in the form of apps that help patients track their medications, monitor their symptoms, and connect with their doctors.

What's more, we're starting to see the way that digital technologies can be used to provide care prior to a patient even showing up at the doctor's office. This is especially true when it comes to chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease. And it's not just about collecting data; it's also about using that data to help prevent serious health issues from developing in the first place

In the future, I see digital technologies being used to improve the quality of care we provide to patients. I think that in the next decade or so, there will be a shift from telephone-based care to a more holistic approach where doctors can use artificial intelligence and interactive digital assistants to connect with patients in new ways.

I think this will have a big impact on primary care because there's already been a lot of research into how AI can be used by doctors to help identify problems with their patients and recommend solutions. We can also use it as an educational tool for patients who are dealing with chronic illnesses or other conditions that require ongoing treatment.

This could make it easier for people who need more frequent care to stay connected with their doctors without having to wait in long lines or travel long distances for appointments—and it could also help reduce costs by allowing people access to specialists without requiring them to travel out of town.

The goals of digital healthcare should be in helping both the patients as well as the provider. The provider needs to be able to get a clear view of patient data that is easily accessible and can be used to provide better care. Patients, on the other hand, should have access to their health records so that they can easily share them with their doctors and follow up with their progress.

The best way to achieve these goals is by using blockchain technology. Blockchain technology helps create a secure platform where everyone can easily access important medical information without worrying about privacy issues.

We're just as excited about digital health as you are. We know that it's changing the world, and we want to be a part of that. That's why we started [company name]—to make sure that both patients and providers have access to the most cutting-edge technology in healthcare.

A recent study by researchers at [university name] shows that people are holding back further advances in digital technology in healthcare because they're worried about security and privacy.

The study found that the number one thing keeping people from using digital technology for healthcare is concerns about security and privacy. In fact, 68% of respondents said they were "not at all" or only "slightly" confident that their medical

We see people wearing smartwatches, fitness trackers, Google Glasses, and even smart clothing. The next big thing will be wearable devices in healthcare. These wearables can take many forms including a smartwatch, wristband or even a piece of jewelry that we can wear to monitor our health conditions. Some examples include blood pressure monitors, glucose monitors, heart rate monitors and more. One of the most common wearables used today is a smartwatch which can be used to track your heart rate, steps taken, calories burned as well as sleep quality. The Apple Watch Series 4 has an FDA approved ECG feature which allows users to take an electrocardiogram right from their wrist without having to go through any invasive procedures which makes it easier for doctors to monitor patients remotely without having them come into their offices every week or two weeks like before! This new feature has been approved for use by adults ages 18 years old or older only because it has not yet been tested on children under 18 years old due to safety concerns regarding potential risks such as burns from electrodes placed on each side of your chest during use (which does happen rarely). Wearables in healthcare are a new way to manage your health, but they're not always easy to use. In this post, we'll take a look at the benefits of wearables and how you can use them to live an even healthier life. Wearables: What Are They? #wearabletech are devices that you wear on your body that collect data about yourself and your surroundings. They can be used for fitness tracking or health monitoring, and they often have other useful features like sleep tracking or heart rate monitoring. Wearable devices include smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart glasses. Why Use Wearables? #wearabletechnology are great for people who want to track their daily activity and see how it impacts their overall health. If you're trying to lose weight or get in shape by exercising more often, wearables are a great way to make sure you're meeting your goals every day! They also help prevent injuries by letting you know if you've been working out too hard or not enough. And when paired with sleep tracking they can give insight into what causes insomnia so that you can fix it before it becomes an issue. The use of wearables in healthcare is growing rapidly. They are used to monitor and track patients' health, and they can be used to inform doctors about a patient's condition. Wearables have been used for the monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs. They can also be used to track activity levels and sleep patterns. Wearables are becoming more common in hospitals as well. The technology has been implemented in operating rooms to help with surgical procedures and monitor anesthesia levels throughout the procedure. The Wearables and #mhealth are the new trend in the medical industry. These devices can be used in many different ways to help patients and doctors. They can be use

The wearable medical device market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% between 2017 and 2022, according to Grand View Research. This will result in the market for wearables reaching $36.9 billion by 2022, with the growth being driven by an increased adoption rate among consumers and healthcare professionals.  

As this industry grows and becomes more popular, there's one thing that needs to happen: sensors must become more prevalent. That's what we're here to discuss today—the intersection of wearables & sensors in medtech!  What are Sensors?  Sensors are devices that measure physical properties or chemical changes within their surrounding environment, such as temperature or pressure. 

They can also be used to detect electromagnetic radiation, such as light or sound waves. The most common types of sensors include accelerometers (which measure acceleration), pressure gauges (which measure force), flow meters (which measure fluid flow), and gyroscopes (which measure angular velocity).  Wearables and sensors are a natural fit for the medical technology industry, as they can be used to track the health of patients and even predict medical issues before they occur.  

The most common wearable device used in medicine is a fitness tracker, which helps doctors and nurses keep track of their patients' movement, heart rate, blood pressure, and more. 

The data gathered from these devices can help doctors better understand their patients' health and how they respond to treatment.  Another popular wearable device is the smartwatch, which allows people to track their activity levels and heart rate without having to wear an uncomfortable chest strap. This type of technology has been shown to improve patient compliance with doctor's orders and increase overall health outcomes by helping people make changes that are best suited for them.  

Sensors are also used in many areas of medicine today—from monitoring patients' vital signs during surgery or delivering drugs via inhalation therapies, through remote monitoring devices like those used in home healthcare settings or hospital rooms where there's no physician present 24 hours a day/7 days per week (or around-the-clock).  Wearables and sensors are a hot topic in the medical device industry. The idea is that wearables can help people monitor their health, improve their quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs.

One of the first things we can do to make healthcare more convenient is through technology. Doctors and specific technologies like robots, will be able to do the tedious and time consuming work allowing the doctors to focus on what really matters, which is healing people.

We all need healthcare, it's as essential to survival as food and water. As technology becomes a bigger part of our lives, people want easier ways to reach the healthcare they need. Mass media is still a powerful way to get that message across but it's not always enough. Personalization has become the trend in marketing and the same goes for healthcare. If a person can receive quality care with the help of technology, can you see them wanting to use a system that isn't that way? It's definitely possible, if two things happen...1) people talk about how great their technology experience was with their doctor 2) the systems are simple enough for an average person to use on their own.

Health technology has come a long way from the days of old. More and more people are getting their hands on this technology and starting to use it for their health and wellness. This Hub gives you an idea about where we are with health technology, and how you too can get this technology for yourself.

The future is looking very exciting for health tech. With the rate of technology development over the past twenty or so years, there are plenty of predictions that technology will have advanced to a point where we can eliminate degenerative diseases as well replicate various vital organs. There is also a lot of promise with regard to how technology will be able to assist those who are suffering from degenerative diseases. I think that the best way to look at things is to remain positive and excited. These are the ideas that will lead humanity forward in terms of medicine.

Health technology is currently booming, and it is becoming increasingly more common in our everyday lives. From wearable devices to monitoring your sleep, there are numerous applications for smart phones and tablets in the healthcare industry. With an aging population, it is likely that the health industry will only continue to grow in size and technological advancement.

We have an elaborate healthcare system but it is not as efficient as we'd like. We need to be data driven, patient centric and use technology, health apps and wearables to cut costs while maintaining the essence of quality healthcare delivered to a large diverse population.

While AI is certainly not going to replace doctors anytime soon, it can certainly help make their work much easier. That alone makes AI in healthcare well worth exploring. AI is an umbrella term used to describe machines that can make their own decisions. Currently, it is mainly used in computers, but it will soon be a part of our everyday lives with the advent of Google Glass, driverless cars and the Apple Watch. There are already many ways this technology can be implemented into our health care system, as well as the home environment. Perhaps most importantly, however, is the regulation of this technology to ensure it will not be abused and cause harm. So is AI really ready to deliver on the hype and solve many of the world's biggest challenges, as some have suggested? Perhaps. For now, though, even its best proponents are quick to admit that it is still in its infancy. No matter how big-picture or futuristic our thinking has become, AI will likely continue to advance slowly. One major issue that remains to be solved: training algorithms to work on human data calls for an unprecedented level of data collection. Its true breakthroughs may only occur when we gather more diverse data types for its application, a task that will be both time-consuming and costly.
