In health, everything is (or should be) connected 🤝 The digital health ecosystem is fragmented, and if we do not glue the bits together, patients will fall through the digital cracks and the outcomes we strive for will not be achieved. https://lnkd.in/gWeP9BbB #generalpractice #primarycare #familymedicine #technology #digitalhealth

Every stroke is different. That’s why we developed Tailored Talks – a digital platform designed to enable clinicians to create and share personalised information packages for each individual patient. We understand that a stroke doesn’t just impact physical well-being; it can have an effect on every facet of life. Within Tailored Talks we have curated an extensive library of over 3,500 slides covering a spectrum of topics, form physical symptoms to mental health, lifestyle guidance and resources for navigating challenges like returning to work and financial strains. By utilising Tailored Talks, clinicians can confidently share NHS-approved, medically accurate and relevant information, empowering patients to take charge of their condition and recover from the comfort of home. Our objectives include: -       Fostering self-management among patients 💡 -       Addressing health disparities through tailored information 🌿 -       Potentially alleviating strain on medical resources 🩺 Digital solutions like Tailored Talks not only fill the gaps in care for stroke patients but also offer promise for managing other chronic conditions. Collaboration among healthcare providers, patients and industry stakeholders is essential for advancing patient care and bridging existing gaps in the healthcare landscape.

❓How long have you had to wait to get in to see a healthcare provider lately?? ⏲ It's a given in the chronic illness community that we can be on the waitlist to see our specialists for months (or even over a year!!) Been there. Done that. 😏 This trend is increasingly spreading to the "general" patient population now too. 😣 I just read an eye-opening article by Tina Reed from Axios about how "shrinkflation" is creeping into healthcare, and I couldn’t help but think about the real impact it’s having on patients like us. 😖 Here are a few takeaways that really stood out to me: 1️⃣ Longer Waits, Less Care: Imagine waiting over two months just to see your doctor—almost 20% of patients are experiencing this. And when you finally get there, your time with them is getting shorter. It’s frustrating and can make you feel like just another number. ⏳ 2️⃣ Specialty Care Struggles: It’s not just primary care; specialists are also swamped. Neurology, psychiatry, OB/GYN—these are areas where timely care is critical, yet wait times are stretching out, sometimes for months. 📆 3️⃣ A System Under Pressure: Healthcare providers are doing their best, but the demand is overwhelming. Many doctors are burned out, leaving the field, or retiring early. The pandemic amplified these issues, and now patients are feeling the squeeze. 😓 ➡️️ This isn’t just a problem on paper—it’s something that’s affecting our lives, our health, and our trust in the system. I’m hopeful that innovations like telehealth and better scheduling tools can help, but we can’t ignore the deeper issues at play. ❗️ 💥 We deserve better than paying more for less. Let’s keep pushing for solutions that put patients first. 🎤 🔗 Check out the full article here to see if your experiences align with Axios' findings. https://rb.gy/4zzwgn
