WHAT IS DIGITAL HEALTH ?
WHAT IS DIGITAL HEALTH? “Digital health is about electronically connecting up the points of care so that health information can be shared securely. This is the first step to understanding how digital health can help deliver safer, better quality healthcare” (Prof Chris Bain – a poor definition) • Ref - ADHA Website – “What is digital health ?” - 1/10/2017
WHAT IS DIGITAL HEALTH? “Digital health is the convergence of the digital and genomic revolutions with health, healthcare, living, and society…… empowering us to better track, manage, and improve our own and our family’s health , live better, more productive lives, and improve society. …… helping to reduce inefficiencies in healthcare delivery , improve access, reduce costs, increase quality, and make medicine more personalized and precise.” • Linked In “Digital Health Group” - 1/10/2017; Similar version …. US FDA Website – 1/10/2017 • Some elements … Wikipedia – 1/10/2017 … in turn they quote Bhavnani et al – European Heart Journal, 2016 (Prof Chris Bain – a thorough definition, but too complex, and hard to relate to) … or put much more simply – the use of digital tools and interventions in wellness and healthcare (ie – its applied !!)

WHY DO GRADUATES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DIGITAL HEALTH?
BECAUSE HEALTHCARE (GLOBALLY) IS AT A FORK IN THE ROAD “What has become very clear from the findings in this paper is that the greatest force behind these trends is data . Whether it is health wearables or on-demand testing, better hospital software or algorithms capable of catching disease more effectively, rapid change is taking place because of increased access to big data and advanced data analytics. If this continues – and we firmly believe it will – doctors will need to learn new skill sets that, in turn, will require changes to education and learning.
