Fitbit data has the potential to predict hospital readmission rates according to a new study. The study found that changes in a patient's daily steps and activity levels before being discharged from the hospital could help determine their risk for needing to be readmitted. Additionally, health insurance company Humana launched a new digital tool to help members better manage their medications. The tool aims to improve medication adherence through personalized notifications and education. Interoperability across healthcare also continues to be a challenge that needs addressed.
