Extracting high-quality data can improve patient outcomes by providing personalized treatments more efficiently via digital solutions, says Thryve founder and CEO Friedrich Lämmel.

COVID-19 has given providers and workforce the self-confidence to use telehealth, but its further sustainable adoption requires tackling culture-related challenges. During the HIMSS Virtual Dialogue supported by Siemens Healthineers, experts delivered an update on digital health maturity in Europe.

According to the analysis, automation/robotics, advanced data analytics, IoT & sensorisation, security & privacy, and business model innovation are the five critical success factors for growth.

Dr. Ceri Thompson, deputy head of the eHealth, Wellbeing and Ageing unit at the European Commission, says health data systems must be based on infrastructure and mechanisms that people can trust to ensure effective adoption.

The healthcare people management platform aims to free up time for clinicians and make it easier for organisations to create care centred rosters. 

Also, new data shows half of adults happy to share mobile data to defeat coronavirus.  

Providers and citizens in Sweden have an open mindset, enabling rapid digital transformation to take place effectively during the pandemic, says Daniel Forslund, chairman of the Innovation and Development Committee in Region Stockholm.

Seamlessly integrated technology platforms helped healthcare organisations react swiftly to the coronavirus pandemic, ensuring safe and secure patient care after the world shut down. Now, that same technology is forever changing the way doctors and patients interact.
