Patient Engagement Using Digital Strategies
1.0 Entry

View Session

Overview

---

Successful digital health initiatives do more than simply provide information to patients and consumers through digital channels: They fully engage patients in the initiative and invite patients to be partners in their own healthcare. This panel will explore strategies for engaging patients in digital initiatives, from allowing patients to access their own health data to reaching patients via novel methods and deploying wearable devices that collect and tabulate personal sensor data.

1.50 Entry

View Session

Overview

---

Social media has been a game-changer in the health arena by providing a space to share preventative information, track personal and community health, and enable patient-to-patient support networks. However, the explosion of social media also has catalyzed numerous privacy, ethical, and social issues and served as a gateway for spreading health misinformation. This session will explore the characteristics and structure of a “PBS-like” potential social media platform that can enhance society and support the public’s health.
