The document discusses the vision of the "empowered patient" where patients can collect and share their own health data with doctors in order to receive more accurate remote diagnoses. It contrasts the traditional patient who relies solely on caregivers for information with the empowered patient who takes control of their health by tracking their own data, deciding what to share, and using online information. Several elements like smart technology and privacy concerns can either facilitate or prevent this evolution to a fully empowered patient where integrated systems provide easy-to-use solutions for all parties.

THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE IS ALL ABOUT

2. THE EMPOWERED PATIENT
OUR VISION
▸ Patients collect their own healthcare data and share it with the people and caregivers
of their choice
▸ Doctors can perform a more accurate diagnosis by enriching their own collected data
with the vast datasets collected by their patients
▸ Doctors track patients realtime and provide a diagnosis from remote
▸ Patients don’t have to go to the pharmacy to pick up their medications, they are
delivered to the current location of the patient, or a location of their choice
In the not-so-distant future …

THE EMPOWERED PATIENT

in control
▸ Solely relies on caregivers for
information concerning his personal
health
▸ Is used to control his life using new
technologies, and expect to do the same with
his health
▸ Is informed and uses different online channels
and communities to stay informed about
medical conditions, medicine and therapies

Star Wars where I want !”
