🌍 Can digital health bridge the gap in chronic care for low-resource settings? For many living with chronic inflammation, consistent healthcare isn’t a given—especially in regions where specialists are scarce and healthcare systems are overstretched. Muji Bekomson, founder of iLIVE Digital Health, saw this first-hand. Her solution? A digital health companion designed to provide daily, proactive, and personalised care, helping people track symptoms, identify triggers, and take control of their health—without relying on constant in-person medical support. In our latest interview, Muji shares how iLIVE’s Chronic Health Manager and Femme by iLIVE are making holistic, accessible care a reality, especially for those left behind by traditional healthcare systems. 🗨️ Can digital health truly replace human care? Muji believes the key isn’t replacement—it’s balance. Technology can expand access, empower self-management, and ease pressure on healthcare systems, but the human touch remains essential. 📖 Read the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/enBPhyZE Follow us on InflamMed Join our community: www.inflammed.org #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #ChronicInflammation #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #HealthcareInnovation #HolisticHealth #Autoimmune #Inflammation #HealthEquity #InflamMed
