Using biometric wearables in neuroscience & human behaviorValencell, Inc
Studies have shown human happiness substantially reduces morbidity and mortality. The neuroscience behind what brings people joy has been shown to reduce hospital and clinic visits, reduce pharmaceutical costs, and improve the quality of life. The benefits are clear, but how can we reliably know when and why people are happy?
We will explore this topic and more with Dr. Paul Zak, world-renowned expert on human behavior, neuroeconomics, and neuromanagement and co-founder of Immersion Neuroscience. After 5 years of deep science on oxytocin, Paul and his team were asked by DARPA and the CIA to find a robust way to predict actions and market outcomes using neurologic measures without the expensive medical equipment or lab environment. 12 years later, they have peer-reviewed and published science on what is known as immersion and the ability to predict outcomes with an accuracy level that exceeds EEG and fMRI.
22 Reasons Why Social Media is the Future of Patient RelationshipsNicole Stagg
The fact is, health care professionals cannot ignore social media any longer. Existing patients expect them to be on social media, and prospective patients use social media to learn more about a provider. Here, 22 more reasons why social media needs to be a made a priority for health and wellness providers.
Social media: the way forward or a waste of time for physicians? - M DeCamp ...Giuseppe Fattori
Social media is everywhere; its use has grown exponentially over
recent years. The prevalence of these outlets for communication raises some
interesting and potentially risky issues for physicians. On the one hand, some
believe that physicians should have a strong social media presence and can
benefit greatly from access to a global community of peers and leaders through
blogs, online forums, Facebook, Twitter and other communication channels. Dr
Anne Marie Cunningham provides a strong case for the advantages of developing
networks and figuring out who and what to pay attention to online.
On the other hand however, others believe that the use of social media places
doctors at a professional and ethical risk and is essentially a waste of time for
the already time-pressured physician. Professor DeCamp argues that the risks of
social media outweigh their benefits.
Nothing in our world is changing as quickly as healthcare. Patients are using search, social media and apps to diagnose symptoms, research physicians, schedule appointments, access medical records, connect with other patients and take a more active role in their health. At the same time the tremendous amount of data created by this activity means patients have a much larger digital footprint than ever before. Savvy healthcare marketers can use this data to attract new patients, improve care and collaborate with other healthcare professional. Learn how the patients of today and tomorrow are using technology as a key part of their healthcare and how you can be a bigger part of the Digital Patient Journey.

Perficient Perspectives: The Evolution of Social Media in HealthcarePerficient, Inc.
Healthcare organizations continue to navigate the transforming healthcare industry and identify new avenues to engage with consumers outside of the facility walls. In a fast-paced, information-dominated world, successfully interacting with consumers may seem like a daunting task. The key is to connect with consumers where they are and provide them with actionable health and wellness information they need to live a healthier life.
When you think of social media in healthcare you might think it is a tool for marketing, but it goes much farther than that. Sure, social media can be used to attract and retain consumers, but social media can also be a powerful tool to reduce healthcare costs and help with chronic disease and population health management.
Healthcare organizations are in varying stages of becoming social enterprises, from social innovators like Mayo Clinic to those beginning the journey to developing a comprehensive social media strategy.
In this perspective, we take a look at the evolution of social media in healthcare and discuss what social media in healthcare will look like in the future.

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.
2016 16th population health colloquium: summary of proceedings Innovations2Solutions
This paper will discuss the four key ideas discussed at the Colloquium that will have important ramifications as healthcare organizations seek to implement population health strategies:
1. understanding and alleviating Patient fear is Key to Patient experience
2. the Case for a new Population Health Protection agenda as a means to drive down Healthcare Costs
3. using data and technology to improve Healthcare for older adults
4. engage Consumers in Wellness-based Population Health and thrive financially
Social media is considered a new revolution in healthcare. The healthcare digital transformation doesn’t simply happen at night. All patients want to reduce the complexities and inconveniences of doctor’s traditional consultation. In this case the adoption of healthcare digital marketing is important for all healthcare users. We explain how social health revives the patient journey in the digital era. For better digital healthcare solutions, get in touch with experts at EMed HealthTech today!

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

1. Singularity, health and the human touch
HEALTH
in 2011 and patients were on
average diagnosed 15 years after
the onset of symptoms. How do
you affect behavioural change in
patients who do not want to change
their habits?
We looked at a lot of data and
surveys relating to these patients.
The insight that my team and I had
was that men in this cohort were:
1) most likely to have their health
managed by their wives (i.e. their
wives had the biggest influence on
them in terms of driving them to
see a doctor), and; 2) heavily
influenced by their daughters
regarding quitting their unhealthy
habits, such as smoking. I therefore
designed a communication
campaign that would educate and
mobilize these patient influencers
to drive their husbands/fathers to
see a doctor to get diagnosed. The
campaign used social media to
spread information among the
influencers, and allowed them to
share emotional stories and
heartfelt requests for their loved
ones to change their habits, in a
culturally appropriate way.
While this campaign was
successful, when looking at the
predications for healthcare relating
to the Singularity, a question keeps
Comment
FINANCIAL TIMESWednesday 14 October 2015
coming back to me: what role will
human interactions play in health
in the future?
It seems to me that advances in
healthcare, as related to thinking
about the Singularity, are a series
of steps towards the automation of
diagnosis and treatment. The
logical endgame here is that not
only will we have pre-empted what
types of illness we will be prone
to, and the types of medicines that
will be most effective for us
through personalized medicine
according to our individual
genetics, but that eventually
(according to Kurzweil) “most
diseases will go away as nano-bots
become smarter than current
medical technology.” Utopian
stuff, to be sure. The assumption
embedded here is that to reach that
point, we will have to agree to
constant monitoring of our health
and behaviours.
This may not be such a huge leap
from where we are now.
According to Rick Anderson,
managing director of PTV
Healthcare Capital, “tech
companies are taking a much more
holistic view of healthcare than
medtech – viewing it as an asset
that consumers will be engaged
with 100 percent of the time.” The
uptake of the technology to—in the
words of Vinod Khosla—“make
the consumer the CEO of his own
health,” is already present and
increasing in sophistication.
It is my belief that while
technology may replace the
diagnostic function of doctors, and
enhance communication to
improve the human side of
professional care, we should keep
a close eye on the importance and
potential of our closest human
relationships: those with our
friends and family.
Maruan
El Mahgiub
This campaign aimed to help family members influence their loved-ones’ health
I used to work for a strategic
communications agency in Tokyo.
Our clients were typically large
healthcare companies that would
come out with new drugs or
devices, and it would be our job to
try to ensure that these products
were successfully communicated
and adopted in the market.
The most successful campaign that
I worked on was one I designed to
increase the diagnosis rate of
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). The disease is
one of the leading killers of men.
The symptoms include coughing
and shortness of breath. Symptoms
are often overlooked by sufferers
as the effects of old age. This is a
disease that typically affects male
smokers who are over the age of
40. The problem with this cohort is
that they are very resistant to going
to see a doctor, and would much
rather ignore the problem. Indeed,
the diagnosis rate was just 13.9%
2. It is interesting to note that the
most forward-looking
companies in the healthcare
space are those that understand
the importance of the influence
of family and friends.
When looking at healthcare, I
tend to consider the patient
journey in three general phases:
prevention, early diagnosis, and
adherence.
In terms of adherence, we
already see products like the
connected pill bottle from
Vitality GlowCap that increases
adherence “through reminders,
social feedbacks, financial
incentives and automatic
refills.”
In terms of early diagnosis, in a
true nod to the democratization
of healthcare, the company
Scanadu successfully funded a
medical tricorder called the
Scout via Indiegogo; the device
is currently in FDA-sanctioned
clinical trials. Though not
constantly connected, it would
require you, a caregiver or
loved one to take the initiative
to take a reading. Even further
along the road to the
automation of diagnosis we see
companies such as Ginger.io,
which is using data from how
you use your smartphone to
identify when you may need
help in the form of human
intervention from your doctor
and your friends and family.
Finally, in terms of prevention,
we see companies like Omada
Health that aim at improving
the behaviours of pre-diabetic
people by using a combination
of smart tech and wearables, a
full time “health coach”,
gamification and online group
support (or more accurately,
social proof and social
pressure). By making health
improvements a group
endeavour, the company claims
to have superior health
outcomes.
The point here is that while the
technology around us can be
mesmerizing and
overwhelming, until the day
that healthcare is truly
automated to the point where it
is pre-emptive and regenerative,
its most effective deployment
has been—and will continue to
be—when it works in concert
with human’s needs as social
animals.
Companies that understand the
biopsychosocial model of
medicine, and are able to
enhance and focus constructive
communication between friends
and loved ones will be much
more able to effect positive
behavioural change for health
outcomes. The love and
concern that you have for your
mother, father, sister, brother,
friend, or significant other gives
you a huge amount of leverage
in influencing their behaviour,
particularly regarding their
health, since you will likely
play a big role in their care if
they were to fall ill.
While nano-bots keeping us
well may sound utopian, it will
be at the point when robots
become our carers—and love
can be synthesised or
simulated—that Kurzweil’s
future begins to sound a little
less healthy.
The writer, a former healthcare
communications consultant, is
currently an MBA student at IE
Business School. He is
passionate about finding
innovative ways to improve
health and wellbeing.
Our ability to understand and
respond appropriately to high
level emotions is the cutting
edge of human intelligence…
We want computers to have
these capabilities also so that
they can interact with us in
helpful ways.
Ray Kurzweil
Machines are much
better at the cognitive
parts of medicine:
diagnosis, writing the
right prescriptions. On
purely ethical questions,
or comforting, humans
can do much better.
