The Big Consult: Major Criteria for Adopting a Digital App or Service
This article, and the next, lay out criteria for choosing a solution.
Even once you know what you need in your clinical setting, demonstrating the value of a new technology is hard. Dr. Omar Manejwala, chief medical officer at DarioHealth, looks for real-world evidence of outcomes. A study by the vendor is nice to see, but is it peer reviewed by a neutral party? Dr. Tim Church, chief medical officer at Wondr Health, similarly recommends checking that the app follows modern, evidence-based treatment guidelines.
“During the COVID-19 quarantine, literally thousands of new apps sprung up, particularly related to weight l...

In Health Care, AI to Advance Rapidly Along With Its Regulation
This far-ranging video examines the current uses and future prospects for AI through the eyes of two experts from UST: Adnan Masood, PhD, Chief AI Architect, and Anand Nair, Head of Healthcare Payer.
Masood pointed out that there is little point to regulating research and development in AI, because the rules tend to miss the point and impose unnecessary burdens. However, regulating the application of AI is useful, and Masood would like to see more of it. Singapore has led the way with regulation, and the EU is “moving fast.”
He mentioned positively a recent AI risk management framework (RMF) from NIST as a ste...

CHIME23 – What Area of Healthcare Needs More Investment and Why?
There are so many good ideas in healthcare, but tragically so little time, resources, people, and money. Because of our limitations, not every project immediately gets invested in and there are also lots of projects that had their investments slowly run dry until they disappeared entirely. The true tragedy of all of this is that even though we don’t have the resources to effectively do what we need to, these projects cannot move forward without investments and often get left behind, all the while new projects keep on coming.
In order to help bring attention to some areas in healthcare that are currently being overloo...

Empowering the Behavioral Health System with Home-Based Technology Solutions
Conclusion
In many ways, home-based health technology is the natural next step in the evolution of behavioral healthcare. Individuals who face the daunting challenges of mental health conditions and substance use disorders need ongoing support, but they also need a sense of control over their own lives. A person-centered, technologically-supported, home-based approach not only allows people to manage their well-being independently, it provides a more cost-effective and efficient model of care for a healthcare system under strain.
