Over the past few decades, the healthcare sector has witnessed groundbreaking digital advancements at all stages of patient care, from research and development to diagnosis and treatment, triggering a radical shift in the way we think of and deliver health care. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated this process, leading to the acknowledgment that digital health solutions are essential for patients and healthcare systems. Intelligent automation and artificial intelligence can improve access to care and assist healthcare professionals with routine or repetitive tasks.
Digital health has immense potential to enable more prevention-focused, personalized care and deepen our understanding of diseases to improve care for people living with neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. Digital health tools empower citizens to manage their own health, allow healthcare workers to treat patients remotely, improve outcomes, fuel innovation, and equip authorities to accurately track public health through data.
Digital health innovations can help citizens take control and be more empowered to take care of their own health. Digital health tools offer preventive, personalized, and responsive ways for people to interact with health services. Digital healthcare can thus support a necessary paradigm shift where citizens’ well-being and the maintenance of good health are the primary focus rather than disease management and recovery.
