“I don't want to wake up to a ROBOT mid-delivery!” Is digital healthcare the future?

World Health Investigation Podcast

May 21 2022 • 45 mins

Digital technologies are increasingly being used as health and care interventions worldwide. Many people own wearables such as Apple Watches that track vital health information and mobile health (mHealth) continues to support health care workers in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. This week, we explore digital technologies and discuss whether they are really the key to  tackling our health care challenges. We talk through the different types of digital technologies and identify opportunities for these technologies to revolutionise health care. We also unpack critical considerations such as sustainability and data protection and regulation.

This week's case study: Click Therapeutics - There's a Prescription App for That? Digital Therapeutics on the Rise (chiefhealthcareexecutive.com)
