Pressures on the NHS are greater than they have ever been, and patients are at the centre of every decision made in health and social care. An increasingly digital world means there are higher expectations from patients around the use of up-to-date technology, online provision of care, and how their data is managed by healthcare organisations.
By creating models of care and treatment that empower patients, focus can be turned to prevention and engagement with services that support personal health through both illness and wellness. This track will cover:
IoT, apps and wearables in the home, hospital and community
How to evaluate digital health products and interventions
Personal Health Records (PHRs) and improving patient pathways
Digital inclusivity, digital skills and human-centric service design
Perspectives from patient representatives
Online triage, self-triage and prevention models of care
