Trends in Digital Health and why you should care

DESCRIPTION

Driven by demographic change, rising costs in the healthcare system and growing customer demands for patient-centered tools, the relevance of innovative Digital Health solutions is constantly growing. While many technologies are available on the market, there is still a lack of comprehensive solutions that support the patient across all his medical conditions and provide an integrated user experience throughout the patient's everyday life. Future Digital Health solutions will not only have to cross-link patient data across different devices and applications in order to enable better medical decisions, but also to create user experiences that address the patients' needs and help them to establish self-sustaining behaviors towards a healthier lifestyle.
