How will digital tools shape the future of health care?

·        Drive personalization — New data streams associated with digital health tools can feed into analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) models, allowing for greater customization of services and a better understanding of personal health needs.

·        Extend patient reach and access — Remote patient-provider communication tools and connected devices will ensure timely and convenient access to care by removing the need to physically travel to an office for many health needs.

·        Enhance patient and provider experiences — From web and app-based symptom checkers and triage tools to automated self-scheduling to more efficient data exchange, digital health technologies can create a seamless experience, cutting down consumer frustration and clinician burnout.

·        Improve care quality — Wearables, digital therapeutics and remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices can continually track an individual’s health and wellbeing. Those data can trigger behavioral nudges to help individuals better manage their health or allow caregivers to adjust treatment plans accordingly.
