Panel 1: Beyond the App: Engaging and Empowering Patients in the Digital Age
Digital health is rapidly transforming our healthcare system. The emergence of wireless sensors/devices, remote monitoring, and predictive analytics has enabled improved clinical decision making. But, how can we better engage patients and empower them to take ownership of their health and better understand their own health data? How can we ensure their voices are heard and make them feel supported throughout their care journey? In other words, how can we make physician-patient interaction more intimate and meaningful? This panel will explore how innovative startups and health enterprises are answering such tough questions and shaping the patient-doctor relationship in the digital age.
