This week, announcements from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and Withings further bolster the case for the private sector bolstering publichealth in this pandemic…and future ones to come beyond the Age of the Coronavirus. On 27th July, CTA announced the Association’s launch of the PublicHealth Tech Initiative.
Importantly, impactfully in terms of health care, three-fourths of folks using medical devices at home said after receiving that alert, their issue was successfully diagnosed once consulting with a doctor. Thus the call for being design-ful along the way of designing, deploying, and supporting connectedhealth devices.
Ironically, the more people share data in a publichealth crisis, the more that information can be used for good to, in the case of the coronavirus, test, track, and snuff the virus. Health disparities, continued digital divide, health inequities, are unsustainable if we prioritize advancing publichealth.
In an age when nearly everyone is digitally connected in some way – even many senior citizens, who are often characterized as technophobic – it only makes sense that the healthcare industry is seeing a lot of connectedhealth devices and remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies.
One of the publichealth hallmarks of the pandemic era has been stress, documented by the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America survey. FYI, on 1st – 3rd September 2020, Parks Associates will be convening a ConnectedHealth Summit, focused on consumer engagement and innovation.
About 1 in 2 patients now receive treatment at home instead of going to a provider’s office, using virtual tools like video conference calls (“Zoom-ing” for medical care), online chat, and mobilehealth apps downloaded on smartphones. 45% in pharmaceutical companies, and 44% in large retail pharmacy chains.
For most young people, the publichealth crisis has been more about that social distancing from friends, a collective sense of isolation, and mental and behavioral health impacts. A new mental health risk arose in 2020 in the U.S.
This drove health consumers to virtual care platforms in the first months of the publichealth crisis — including lots of older people who had never used telemedicine or even a mobilehealth app.
One in four people would consider online options as their first-line to evaluating personal health issues — a kind of “digital step therapy,” if you will. The post The COVID-19 Era Has Grown Health Consumer Demand for Virtual Care appeared first on HealthPopuli.com.
I covered the event here in Health Populi, as I have for most of the past decade, highlighting the growth of digital health and, this year, the expanding Internet of Healthy Things called-out by Dr. Joseph Kvedar in 2015. Most people using at-home connected exercise equipment also foresee doing so after the coronavirus fades.
This is an actual intersection of the Internet of Things for Health — a new riff on mobilehealth/care, literally! As cars grow more connected via Bluetooth like our TVs, autos morph into a third space for health, which I’ve considered here in Health Populi and in some of my futures work with clients.
But another patient side-effect of COVID-19 has been the digital transformation of many patients , documented by data gathered by Rock Health and Stanford Center for Digital Health and analyzed in their latest report explaining how the publichealth crisis accelerated digital health “beyond its years,” noted in the title of the report.
Their research shows growing demand for connected solutions for air quality, telehealth, independent living solutions, and other health-adjacent services: Consumer usage of telehealth services increased from 15 percent in Q2 2019 to 64 percent in 2021. 55 percent of U.S. Nearly one-half of U.S. CES recognized OMRON’s U.S.
Omron has been one of the few consumer-facing digital health companies that has taken the long-view and done the work to file for FDA clearance for a medical-grade technology that mainstream consumers can use. Omron seeks to jump that hurdle through FDA clearance.
How would you improve what’s in the bill to optimize the use of telehealth in this challenging publichealth moment? What can we expect to hear relevant to the publichealth challenge? Check out this last publichealth poster about Medicare and COVID-19. The President signed the $8.3
Today, one-half of the categories speak to more “medical”/clinical areas that are disease specific, addressing women’s health, medication adherence, and healthcare administration workflows.
With the home as health hub, a phenomenon reinforced by the publichealth crisis, Best Buy Health’s (BBH) 2018 vision is meeting the moment, like the old Wayne Gretzky metaphor of knowing where the hockey puck would go and being there to meet it.
But the coronavirus era also saw broadband households spending more on connectinghealth devices, with 42% of U.S. consumers owning digital health tech compared with 33% in 2015, according to research discussed in Supporting Today’s Connected Consumer from Parks Associates. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic drove U.S.
I discussed that important publichealth/economic challenge here in Health Populi from a RAND report.]. Eight in 10 people 65 and older have multiple chronic conditions, and 50% of people 45-64 do, as well. which 1 in 2 U.S. adults over 55 manage. [I
Access to the Internet has been a key determinant of health — or more aptly, death — during the COVID-19 pandemic. Americans lacked Internet access were more likely to die due to complications from the coronavirus, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open this month. COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 were preventable.
health consumers the importance of personal health data as an asset — that is both a personal one and, in aggregate mashed up with fellow health citizens’ data — a publichealth asset. The coronavirus pandemic has shown U.S. Trust is in short supply in the U.S. Part of re-building U.S.
health consumers the importance of personal health data as an asset — that’s both a personal one and, in aggregate mashed up with fellow health citizens’ data — a publichealth asset. .” The coronavirus pandemic has shown U.S. Trust is in short supply in the U.S.
health consumers would eventually morph into health citizens, owning and not just renting our health. That book ended with a chapter asking whether U.S. cast to communicate their collective political will.
Without access to connectivity during the pandemic, too many people could not work for their living, attend school and learn, connect with loved ones, or get health care.
The pandemic has accelerated the use of digital health across its many segments: telehealth, mHealth, software platforms, behavioral health, digital therapeutics, among them. With fast growth in the publichealth crisis comes evolving and growing risks that, in the midst of the pandemic hurricane, have gone unattended.
Mental health via virtual platforms has sustained significant use since the waning of the publichealth crisis. But pent-up demand remains for mental health services which could be made further accessible. Younger people are more likely to demand and be comfortable with virtual care platforms.
These efforts, each assessing evidence bases and real-world information, will help to bolster health citizens’ confident adoption in the tools when they are cleared or approved by the agencies. This isn’t a universal belief among all health citizens, but a majority still embracing science for medicine].
connects the dots between our underlying health status to those 3 P’s, calling out the inter-relationship between our individual well-being, the political environment, and publichealth.
Health Populi’s Hot Points: One of the fastest-growing areas of digital health that grew in the COVID-19 pandemic was use of smartphones for health and fitness. consumers’ smartphone use for managing health grew by 50% during the publichealth crisis. Deloitte found that U.S.

As the Center for ConnectedHealth Policy (CCHP) notes, different telehealth modalities include: Live video: referred to as “synchronous” format and uses live interaction between two parties over video. Remote patient monitoring (RPM): involves the remote monitoring of patients’ health and medical data over secure electronic means.
Now we see the emergence of telecomms-as-medicine — or more specifically, a driver of health, access, and empowerment. You’ve heard of food-as-medicine and exercise-as-medicine.
and intriguingly, “Health care professionals seem most excited about adopting consumer technologies that we already use.” ” “Clinicians have this combined feeling of being overwhelmed by current technology and feeling those systems aren’t doing enough to help them care for patients.”
The median American uses 3 social networking platforms in 2018. Facebook is the primary platform for most Americans who use social media in 2018: two-thirds of U.S. adults use Facebook, and 3 in 4 of them check in on a daily basis.
CCHP: CCHP stands for the Center for ConnectedHealth Policy and is a non-profit that has been designated the national telehealth policy resource center. mHealth : mHealth stands for mobilehealth and refers to healthcare apps and services delivered via mobile technology like smartphones and tablets.
This funding record (“already” before year-end, tallied by the third quarter as Rock Health notes) was driven by “mega”-deals accelerated during the publichealth crisis of COVID-19. based digital health start-ups adding up $9.4 In the third quarter of 2020, some $4 billion was invested in U.S.
Sharing data in a publichealth crisis is important for both identifying people who have been infected to stop-the-spread of the virus, as well as sharing personal health information for developing treatments to cure disease.
The agenda for that session looks like a blur between HIMSS, Health 2.0, ConnectedHealth and the ATA Conference – covering digital health and value-based care, reimbursement, home care, and clinician/technology partnerships. This is something that we forecasters would have put in the “wild card” category nine years ago.
Every passenger traveling to the country is compelled to fill out the details in this form, which includes the flight number, seat location, and arrival date, along with a mobile phone number and local address in Belgium where one was staying (especially key for potential quarantine needs).
The point is that our homes have morphed into our fitness and exercise destinations, a trend turbo-charged during the pandemic (from which Peloton itself benefited… for a while) that now persists post-publichealth crisis.
Arlington, VA, September 30, 2020 – Today, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® and the ConnectedHealth Initiative (CHI) are launching a new effort to address longstanding health disparities in the U.S., amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.
