Interesting to note, returning to this group for the second year, how much has happened in the world of remote monitoring and virtual wards since speaking to the last cohort a year ago. Inspiring to see the difference this tech is making across the globe with great examples of marked impact in Bristol, Denmark and Saudi Arabia
It was great to return to the Rotman Global Health MBA UK Gemba hosted by the Imperial College Business School last week. The participants are mainly senior leaders from Canadian health systems, the majority experienced clinicians with a sprinkling of health tech sector leaders. I was talking about the potential for a pivot towards digital home care to make a fundamental change to healthcare systems globally and we had a terrific and very lively conversation about this. We covered new ways to provide personalised, proactive care and the roles of coaches and social prescribers in supporting behaviour change and habit building, complementing the work of clinicians, and helping patients become in control of their health and any conditions they are living with. Hopefully some appetites have been whet for change away from a hospital dependent model, I look forward to hearing more about this!
