How would you define Digital Health?

Healthcare combined with technology is no less than a miracle which is helping to improve individual’s health and wellness. This simple concept is now a broad and growing sector. Patients now can have access to innovative technologies such as health apps to stay fit in an easy way.

As per World Health Organization, ‘The use and scale up of digital health solutions can revolutionize how people worldwide achieve higher standards of health, and access services to promote and protect their health and well-being.’

Mobile health (mHealth), health information technology (IT), connected devices, telehealth and telemedicine, and personalized medicine are all examples of digital health. Digital technology has been driving a revolution in health care, from mobile medical devices and algorithms that help doctors make clinical decisions every day to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Digital health tools have a lot of promise in terms of enhancing our ability to accurately track and treat disease, as well as improving individual health care delivery.

Patients benefit from digital wellness in a variety of areas, including disease prevention, tracking, and management of chronic diseases at lower care and therapy costs. The digital revolution includes everything from wearable devices to ingestible sensors, mobile health apps to artificial intelligence, robotic care to electronic records. Digital healthcare is more proactive as these tools also helps identify new illnesses or the worsening of existing ones.

At Epillo Health Systems, we want to help everyone lead a healthier and safer lifestyle everyday through products and services that connect, automate, disrupt and bring innovation to the digital health landscape. We’re working on products and features to improve quality of life, potentially to benefit both patients, as well as their healthcare providers. The reduced total cost of a person’s healthcare over their lifetime is the real boom in digital health. By leveraging Blockchain’s decentralized models we are focusing to make healthcare treatment more accurate and timely. The greater use of digital health tools is to potentially build up a vast repository of data on health markers of people around the world which in future, with the help of big data systems and artificial intelligence, definite connections between conditions and people’s lifestyles can be easily created.

Standardization of medical practices and care administration based on real-time data can be aided by increased patient participation and personalized medical solutions for each of them.
