Joshua Liu’s Post

Great points, Joshua Liu! I couldn't agree more about the pitfalls of the "if we build it, they will come" mindset. I've seen countless projects derailed by this approach. To add to your insights, I'd emphasize the importance of co-design from the start. Involving patients and staff in the design and implementation process ensures that the technology truly meets their needs and is adopted seamlessly. Thanks for sharing your valuable perspective #ai #innovation #patientengagement #healthit

🔑 Co-Creation it's the (only) way. #ReflectInAIMinute: Spend a minute delving into this thought. ⏲🔍💡 #ArtificialIntelligence 🤖  #digitaltransformation 🌐 #digitalhealth 🩺 #innovation 🎯🚀🌍  

Great insights on the importance of involving healthcare practitioners in digital health innovation! Early involvement of HCPs in the development cycle and deployment is essential for successful implementation of clinically relevant and impactful solutions. #DigitalHealth #CoCreation #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalEngagement #HealthTech

In some candid comments about the interoperability problem, Health Minister Mark Butler has described Australia's health system as "terrific" but conceded, "Where it falls down is connection. It’s not a well-connected system." Mr Butler said: “One of the things that really struck me as I came back into the healthcare portfolio was just how poorly a sector populated by the smartest people in the country – that spends many, many hundreds of billions of dollars over a period of time – how poorly it performs on digital health, particularly interoperability. “My Health Record was cutting-edge technology when we introduced it in 2012. It’s pretty ordinary technology now. “There’s more of an appetite for those connections now, but still they don’t exist and they’re leading to much poorer outcomes, a lot of inefficiencies, a lot of testing and other things that people shouldn’t have to go through time and time again just because we don’t have the basic digital interoperability that every other significant sector of the economy has." Talk to Hills Health about our efforts to fix the problem: 💡Hills' new Digital Experience Platform (DXP) consists of a suite of interconnected software solutions designed to improve the overall experience of patients, clinicians and other stakeholders within the healthcare ecosystem through digital innovation and technology integration.

Healthcare Communications MD, Kenny Bloxham, reflected on the current health tech landscape in this new feature from Health Tech News: “Like many industries, the election has created a short period of uncertainty, and we’re keen for the new government to be formed,” Kenny said, noting a need to be able to “pivot towards supporting key priorities for healthcare with digital enablers” and added that it is “encouraging” to see a digital-first approach for patient engagement feature in political party manifestos. “Since NHSE has driven patient engagement portals and integration into the NHS App across secondary care, this has kept the market focused. As projects are deployed, and consolidation is achieved the market will start to address what else can be done to further enhance digital patient engagement." "Inclusive patient experiences need to be much higher on the agenda. Progress has been made but equitable access is an urgent crisis in the UK. We intend to continue striving forward with further enhancements to our multi-channel approach for communications to help patients overcome daily challenges in accessing healthcare.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/ejiEZkMT

🚀 5 Essential Steps for Digital Health Companies to Succeed The rapid growth of digital health solutions is transforming healthcare, but success in this competitive market requires more than just innovative tech. Here are five key actions digital health companies need to take to thrive: Focus on Patient-Centered Design: Prioritizing usability and patient experience ensures adoption and satisfaction, key for long-term success. Prove Clinical Value: Digital health tools must be evidence-based and demonstrate measurable health outcomes to gain trust from healthcare providers and patients alike. Integrate Seamlessly with Existing Systems: To avoid disruptions, digital solutions must integrate smoothly with current healthcare infrastructure and workflows. Ensure Data Security: With healthcare being a prime target for cyberattacks, ensuring robust data protection and privacy is critical. Be Ready for Regulatory Hurdles: Navigating complex regulations is essential to avoid delays in bringing products to market. 🌱 Success in digital health is not just about innovation; it’s about building trust, delivering value, and ensuring security. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #PatientExperience #DataSecurity

This list is spot on. What I've learned working in healthtech the past decade: 1. Clinician buy in is critical to success, especially with consumer scheduling product success. 2. What differentiates a vendor from a partner? A partner drives business and patient outcomes. A vendor provides technology. Digital health transformation requires a technology partner, not vendor, who understands your business and delivers continued differentiation in their products. 3. Optimism and steadfast belief the outcomes are achievable are prerequisites to successful transformation. If the C-Suite is on board but the teams running operations aren't, the chances of successful transformation are slim.

Harnessing technology to support and implement “Martha’s Rule” in the UK health service Aire Logic's Michael Hardman has written a compelling article on Martha's Rule featured in Health Tech News today. A snippet from the article: Martha’s Rule, recently proposed in the UK, calls for a mechanism where patients or their families can request a second opinion when they feel their concerns are not being addressed by the healthcare team. Inspired by events where critical concerns were missed, this rule aims to empower patients and families, with the intent of improving patient safety and ensuring that potentially life-threatening conditions are not overlooked. Technology can play a pivotal role in supporting Martha’s Rule, offering tools to improve communication, streamline processes, and ensure better patient outcomes. In this article, we look to explore several technological avenues that can aid in the successful implementation of Martha’s Rule within the National Health Service. Read the full article below and contact Tracey Cooper or Neal Jackson to discuss how to effectively implement Martha's Rule in your Trust.

#Digitalhealth has not disrupted the health market as anticipated. Yesterday meeting a friend who is into digital health we discussed that despite the rapid growth of patient-oriented #digitalhealth solutions, many struggle to demonstrate significant #clinical impact. There are many challenges in this. For e.g. Many tools operate in silos and aren't seamlessly integrated with #electronichealth records (#EHRs) or clinical decision-making systems. Then robust clinical validation is lacking. Few digital health solutions undergo rigorous #clinicaltrials to prove efficacy and safety. Another challenge is low patient adherence. Existing tools often lack long-term engagement strategies, which undermines their effectiveness. Access to and usability of existing solutions can vary significantly across socioeconomic and demographic groups. The regulatory environment for digital health is still evolving, delaying adoption. What I feel is addressing these challenges requires a collaborative approach between #developers, #clinicians, and #healthcare institutions, focusing on user-centric design, clinical validation, and system integration.
