What is Digital Health?

What do you think of when you hear the words Digital Health? And what could that mean to an anesthesiologist? 

In this episode, I try to explain my thoughts when I hear those words. It's a pretty broad definition - that can include your health provider going paper-free, telehealth options, artificial intelligence, and apps on your phone.

These technologies won't replace the need for healthcare professionals, but whatever digital health means to you, healthcare IS changing. So I hope to get you as excited as I am about how digital health can increase access, improve efficiencies, and empower patients to learn more about their health.

Topics include:

• A conversation I had with a woman who questioned the relevance of talking about technology as it relates to healthcare
• My definition of what Digital Health means
• Examples of digital tools that you might come into contact with 
• Examples of digital tools that you might already have seen in a health context
• Why does this matter to an anesthesiologist? And why am I so excited about what Digital Health can do?
