Digital health in Africa is on a rapid growth trajectory, driven by advancements in telemedicine, mobile health (mHealth) applications, AI-powered diagnostics, and digital patient records. These innovations are helping bridge healthcare gaps, particularly in underserved and rural communities. Despite promising progress, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, regulatory complexities, and data privacy issues persist. Nevertheless, digital health is set to revolutionize healthcare access, scalability, and efficiency across the continent. For a deeper dive into our work visit: https://lnkd.in/d2dkT683

This paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness of #CardioMEMS, a telemedicine device, within the context of the Tuscany region. Adapting international Health Technology Assessment (HTA) reports, it identifies target populations and assesses cost-effectiveness thresholds. Results suggest a gradual implementation, emphasizing the importance of localized analysis in healthcare decision-making | https://ow.ly/Aqt350RuOKV

Help Update the eHealth Lexicon! The WONCA Working Party on eHealth is updating our Lexicon to keep pace with the evolving world of digital health. This essential resource includes key terms like telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and digital health—but as technology advances, it’s crucial we ensure these definitions remain relevant and accurate. 💡 Why is this important? In family medicine and eHealth, shared language fosters better collaboration. Terms like “e-Health” and “digital health” are often misunderstood, and your insights can help clarify definitions for global use. 🤝 How can you contribute? 1. Review the Lexicon (https://lnkd.in/eNfDSyWk) 2. Suggest updates, additions, or omissions via our quick feedback form. (https://lnkd.in/eXitKdfE) 3. Have deeper insights? Contact our Lexicon lead, Karen Kinder, at mail@kkinder.de. Let’s shape a future where we all speak the same language in digital health.

We learnt about interesting breakthroughs in the field of telemedicine when we worked with PATH and Varun Kaul on this report. Even if this is the first time you're hearing about telemedicine, this quick report summary is worth a read to get an understanding of some powerful innovations in healthcare.

Today, our great colleague Claus Kjærgaard Andersen is representing us alongside PLSP at their stand at #Lægedage2024. Claus is sharing insights into how Columna Axon can bridge the IT-gap in the healthcare sector by enabling seamless, real-time sharing of relevant, targeted data between municipalities, hospitals, and doctors (GPs). The current capabilities of Columna Axon are: 🎯 Equips municipalities and doctors with easy access to essential, up-to-date hospital data 🎯 Empowers hospitals and doctors with relevant, timely information from municipalities So what’s next? We’re advancing the integration of Columna Axon to include data from #FUT, the national telemedicine solution - further strengthening collaboration across sectors.

2023 marked a significant shift in the focus of #DigitalHealth solutions within #HealthSystems. Traditionally, #HealthManagementSolutions have been at the forefront of addressing operational efficiency. However, the past 12 months have seen a notable surge in the adoption of Telemedicine solutions by hospitals, which took centre stage. Remarkably, #Telemedicine solutions accounted for 14% of partnerships formed in 2023, a substantial increase from the mere 7% observed in the previous four years. Conversely, attention has waned for #PatientSolutions, which experienced a 4% decline in 2023. This shift raises an important question: are #European health systems any different? Join us at HLTH Europe on 17 June at 1 pm in Room G108 to hear our esteemed panel of experts discuss the critical role of Digital Health Innovation in transforming health systems. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of healthcare.
