Pyrls recognizes the importance for healthcare professionals to learn about and have access to information on digital health technology and its application—which are increasingly integral to optimizing patient outcomes, enhancing the efficiency of care delivery, and staying at the forefront of medical innovation. To this end, we are excited to share this information from our partners at Digital.Health whose community we’ve joined and encourage you to as well!
What is digital health?
Advances at the intersection of healthcare and technology, known as digital health, are revolutionizing our approach to prevention, management, and treatment of disease, ushering in an era where real-time health data, personalized interventions, and seamless patient-provider connectivity will increasingly become the norm.
Digital Therapeutics
Treatment modalities are now expanding beyond traditional medications to include digital therapeutics, evidence-based therapeutic interventions driven by high-quality software programs, used alone or in combination with other medications. Digital therapeutics are now available for sleep, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and lower back pain to name a few.
Digital Diagnostics
Patient health data can now be gathered outside of traditional healthcare settings in real-time and transmitted to health care professionals for remote patient monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) – and to support individuals in self-management of their health. These digital biomarkers detect and monitor medical conditions via software, sensors, and data analytics to provide precise, consistent, and timely diagnostic and monitoring data. Examples of digital diagnostics include continuous glucose monitors, sensor-enabled inhalers, wearable sleep trackers, and connected blood pressure monitors.
