Understanding Older Adults' Willingness to Share Health Information A recent study explores the factors influencing older adults' willingness to share personal and health information when using healthcare technologies. Conducted in South Korea, it highlights that older adults are more inclined to share information with family and hospitals than with researchers, government agencies, or insurance companies. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of information sharing in the context of digital health. 📖 Read the full article to explore these findings and their implications for healthcare technology adoption among older adults 👇 https://lnkd.in/dYrZTZjX #Healthcare #OlderAdults #DigitalHealth #InformationSharing #Research

How Often Do People Visit the Doctor? Healthcare habits vary widely across countries, reflecting differences in accessibility, payment systems, and healthcare delivery. While frequent doctor visits may indicate health awareness, fewer visits might point to accessibility challenges or cultural norms, reminding us that health behaviors are shaped by complex social and economic factors. #Healthcare #GlobalTrends #DataVisualization

ICI Bucharest participated, on Thursday, January 30, 2025, in the 5th edition of the "Health Research and Innovation" event organized by CLUB ANTREPRENOR and Ziarul Pozitiv. The conference represented an excellent opportunity to take a radiograph of the medical sector and present the objectives and targets for the coming years. ICI Bucharest representatives emphasized the importance of collaboration between research, technology and the medical sector to achieve a modern, efficient and accessible health system. The role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in modernizing and making the health system more efficient was also highlighted. The "Health Research and Innovation" event brought together specialists, researchers, opinion leaders and representatives of the medical sector and innovative technologies. During the conference, essential topics such as investments in the healthcare system, research and innovation in key medical specializations, digitalization of the healthcare system, and the future of private health insurance were discussed.

"An Axios-Ipsos survey last month found that nearly one in five respondents said they had to wait more than two months to see a primary care physician or specialist, with waits trending longest in the Midwest." I'm guessing this comes as no surprise to anyone who's tried to schedule a doctor's appointment lately. With wait times increasing, many people are turning to alternatives to in-person care—particularly virtual care. However, not everyone knows how to use the virtual care platform available through their insurance. This is often because no one has taken the time to show them how. If you're covered under an employer's health plan, I encourage you to explore how telehealth appointments can be scheduled. Even if you don't need one now, it's a valuable resource for times when you need to see a doctor quickly or get a simple prescription filled https://lnkd.in/eEfgsd5d
