Digital healthcare in cystic fibrosis. Learning from the pandemic to innovate future care

The delivery of effective, high quality healthcare requires a combination of strong underpinning science, clinical measurement, diagnostic skills and the ability to empathetically interact with people who are vulnerable because of illness [1]. Over centuries we have built up ways of delivering healthcare through consultation, diagnosis and investigation and a relationship between the physician and patient delivered in community and hospitals settings [2]. In the majority of chronic conditions and particularly in the care of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) we have successfully developed sophisticated interdisciplinary interactions with patients, parents and their families, to provide access to optimal advice and health care [3].
