In search of a digital health compass: My data, my decision, our powerchronaki
Knowledge is power. Despite extensive investments in digital health technology, navigating the health system online is challenging for most citizens. Also for eHealth, the “Inverse Care Law” proposed by Hart in 1971, seems to apply. Availability of good medical or social care services and tools online, varies inversely with the need of the population. The low adoption of eHealth services, and persistent disparities in health triggers a call for multidisciplinary action.
Barriers and challenges are not to be underestimated. Culture, education, skills, costs, perceptions of power and role, are essential for multidisciplinary action. This comes together in digital health literacy, which ought to become an integral part to navigate any health system. Patients living with an implanted device or coping with persistent, chronic disease such as diabetes, as well as citizens engaged in self-care, caring for an elderly relative, a neighbor, or their child with illness or deteriorating health, need a digital health compass.
The panel will engage the audience to elaborate on a vision for this personal, digital health compass and drive advancement in health informatics and digital health standards. The transformative power of health data fueled by targeted digital health literacy interventions can be leveraged by open, massive, and individualized delivery. This way, digital health literate, confident patients and citizens join health professionals, researchers and policy makers to address age-related health and wellness changes to shape the emerging precision medicine and population health initiatives.

Using technology-enabled social prescriptions to disrupt healthcareDr Sven Jungmann
As chronic diseases are increasingly straining healthcare systems, social factors are gaining importance. Since the birth of social medicine (19th century), we saw many failed attempts to beat the dominance of the biomedical model. Social prescriptions have come, raising hopes that non-biomedical solutions will improve outcomes and optimise resource use. Social Prescriptions connect citizens to support to address social determinants of health and encourage self-care for physical and mental health. Social prescriptions can make us healthier cheaper and with fewer side effects than most drugs. Social prescriptions can become a disruptive force as they can be personalised, improve lifestyle-related diseases, and support non-biomedical issues affected by social determinants of health.

Data interoperability requires the adoption and
implementation of common and (ideally) open
standards. Lack of interoperability limits the
re-use of data between healthcare organisations
within a country and across borders. The rise of
cloud platforms and mobile technology further
complicates the data environment. “Data gets
captured and it is quite complex and hard to
share,” says David Hansen, CEO of the Australian
e-Health Research Centre, CSIRO. “When shared,
it is often not computable. Human intervention
is needed to do analytics and this is really
expensive.”
All countries except Spain achieve the highest
score on this indicator, demonstrating that
digital health and health information industrybased
technical standards for data exchange,
transmission, messaging, security, privacy and
hardware are in use in the majority of applications
and systems to ensure the availability of highquality
data.
Digital health literacy and internet connectivity
are ‘super’ social determinants of health, as
they have the power to affect the wider social
determinants of health.17 Although the use of
digital tools – such as apps, patient portals, and
monitoring devices – provides better support
beyond clinical settings, greater reliance on them
can increase the disparity between people with
digital access and skills and those without, and (by
extension) health disparities.18 “One of the major
concerns globally in digital health has been tech
equity,” says Majmudar. “The digital divide could
worsen. You need access to the internet, tools
and resources. Every country should focus on
connectivity, including the US. Can people afford
the data plans they need to access telemedicine
and remote care? Do we have connectivity in
every area, urban or rural?”

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

2. Wikipedia: “Connected health is a model for healthcare delivery that uses
technology to provide healthcare remotely. Connected health aims to maximize
healthcare resources and provide increased, flexible opportunities for consumers to
engage with clinicians and better self-manage their care. It uses technology – often
leveraging readily available consumer technologies – to deliver patient care outside
of the hospital or doctor's office.”
Accenture: “Connected health is an approach to healthcare delivery that leverages
the systematic application of healthcare information technology to facilitate the
accessing and sharing of information, as well as to allow subsequent analysis of
health data across healthcare systems. “…The ambition of connected health is to
connect all parts of a healthcare delivery system, seamlessly, through interoperable
health information processes and technologies so that critical health information is
available when and where it is needed.”
First Things First: The Need to Define the Field

Many working
definitions assume that
users of personal
connected health are
“patients” who are
already in a healthcare
system—as opposed to
individuals attempting
to remain, or to
become healthy.
3. Let’s break down the terms:
Personal: unique to a specific person – different for every
individual, customized, bespoke.
Connected: individuals’ information flows seamlessly, with their
consent, to and from a clinician, caregiver, or community.
Health: the state of a person’s physical, social, and mental well-
being, including but not limited to the absence or control of a
disease.

6. In remote patient monitoring, there are a number of opportunities and barriers:
● In the US, lack of an economic model with aligned incentives through reimbursement,
as well as concerns about liability for prescribing devices and analyzing incoming data.
● Scientific evidence and ‘portable’ models for remote monitoring still developing.
● Worldwide, 4.9 million people are remotely monitored.
In consumer health, there are more opportunities than barriers to growth. The main
challenge is of consistent usage for health purposes over fashion purposes rather than

Key qualitative insights to two primary sub-markets
Sources: Key Stakeholder Interviews;
Economist Intelligence Unit – How
technology is transforming healthcare;
ATKearney - “Mobile Health: Mirage or
Growth Opportunity”; PWC: The global
mhealth market opportunity
The opportunities
and barriers to
growth in each sub-
market are different
and require tailored
approaches.
7. 1. Lack of awareness and understanding of full potential of personal
connected health on all sides: public, providers, policymakers, industry,
patients. No common definition or language exists for personal
connected health.
2. Poorly defined market creates an “application gap” between what the
real needs are, and what the technology market is currently doing.
3. Not enough thought leadership and a “research gap” enables these
problems to continue.
4. Lack of coordination and collaboration across diverse groups of
stakeholders contributes to all of the above.
5. Lack of widely accepted framework for behavioral change, and
measuring personal connected health outcomes exacerbates the
problem.

Overarching Nature of the Problem
Each stakeholder
group only sees
their little piece,
not the full picture.
Consequently,
there is a poor
match between
health needs and
innovation.
8. 8
Key Barriers & Obstacles
The market
for Personal
Connected
Health is
characterized
by misaligned
incentives,
concerns,
and silos.
Misaligned Incentives Concerns Silos
● Competing priorities
● Lack of clarity on
reimbursements and
viable economic
models
● Healthcare community
skepticism (liability,
workflow, confidence,
reimbursement)
● Privacy concerns
● Disconnected data silos, especially with regard
to Employee Health Records versus patient-
collected data and consumer experience of
health in daily life
● Technologies are not designed to address the
experience of individuals outside and within
health system
● Research is not integrated across the continuum
of behavioral health and care or fast enough to
keep up with the pace of innovation
Drivers and Root Causes
● Prevention, public
health not valued
● Disengagement of
individuals from
behavioral causes of
poor health
● Economic models do
not keep pace with
technology
● Lack of processes or
mechanisms to address
concerns systematically
● Regulation does not keep
pace with innovation
● Lack of coordination between diverse players
● Lack of interoperability between technology
platforms and systems

10. IF we support thought leadership, facilitate coordination and collaboration
in innovation and research, and increase awareness and understanding on
the part of all stakeholders…
THEN we will address the “app and research gaps,” increase the adoption
and long-term use of personal connected health devices, maximize
customized individual and population-specific health promotion...
THAT contributes to a world in which personal responsibility for health and
positive behavior change is the norm and improved health outcomes
through technology is a reality.
10
PCHA’s Proposed “Theory of Change”
11. Vision: Better health and well-being for all through increased personal
responsibility and connectivity as well as improved care delivery
enabled by technology.
Mission: The Personal Connected Health Alliance responds to
individual, community, and public health needs by catalyzing market
and policy innovation, research, and collective action for sustained
adoption of personal connected health.

Overall Approach and Resulting Strategic Roles
The link between the nature of
the problem, and what we
propose to do about it, lies in
addressing the overarching
factors that contribute to the
current state of affairs (the lack
of: thought leadership;
coordination and collaboration;
and, awareness and
understanding of full personal
connected health potential on all
sides) through five strategic
roles. They are the critical
ingredients for bringing about
broad-based change.
