Healthcare reshaped
The seminar will discuss how ICT, medical devices, sensor systems, and new telehealth services, are reshaping healthcare. This development is driven by several factors:
- Health authorities’ approval of remote diagnostic tools, in particular US’ FDA
- The advancement of different telehealth platforms for managing chronic conditions and achieving specific patient outcomes
- The development of different telehealth services offered by private and public healthcare organizations and systems
- Innovative direct-to-consumer initiative by Samsung, Apple, American Well and others
- DIY (Do-It-Yourself) initiatives that force health care institutions and industry to change their business models and open up their devises and systems
- Social media and cloud-based solutions have moved healthcare initiatives from healthcare professionals to patients and relatives
- Standardization enables exchange of health data between all stakeholders in health care
Goals of the seminar
- Provide a brief overview of what is happening in health technology, especially related to telehealth/telemedicine, eHealth/mHealth and health consumers
- Explores how technology will change the delivery of healthcare
- Make health actors, Norwegian and international, aware of the current situation and discuss how to relate to it
