Connected Care... When health is accessible, intuitive and in your control
For most of us health is, de facto, an auto-pilot situation. Living and creating our best possible lives, with all its bucket lists and goals can sometimes push health further down on the list of priorities. In the face of a health condition, the switch from auto-pilot to a high priority to-do can be overwhelming. Much like other aspects of life, technology is rising to the occasion when it comes to health management as well; helping people approach, interpret and take charge of their health management more easily.
The contribution of technology and innovation to healthcare is enhancing the quality of people’s health and lives. Health tech has made healthcare more accessible, allowing it to transcend the walls of the doctor’s clinic, support the engagement between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, and transform your understanding of your own health.
The right place, the right time
A quick and accurate diagnosis can go a long way in managing health issues or nipping infectious diseases in the bud. The introduction of the 15-minute at-home rapid self-test for COVID-19 was a comfort to many in the uncertain times that the pandemic brought on. Being aware of their health status gave people the ability to make quick decisions and take necessary action, fairly similar to the risk profiling tests for cardiovascular diseases. Solutions like high-sensitive troponin-I tests can inform an individual about their risk status of a future cardiac event. By flagging off and tackling a potential risk early on, these solutions allow people to take charge and manage their health more effectively and efficiently.
