Shared By The Many: Advances in technology are allowing for the provision of affordable, decentralized healthcare for the masses and are lowering the barriers to entry in less developed markets.
The analysis in PSFK’s Future of Health Report has yielded a number of insights, the most evident of which is mobile technology as a catalyst for change. The mobile phone and connected tablet computer are allowing for the distribution of a broad range of medical and support services. This is especially important in countries with little or no healthcare infrastructure and areas in which there are few trained healthcare professionals. These technologies also allow trained professionals to perform quality control remotely.
Amongst the many significant developments is a shift towards one-on-one, in- field diagnostics and monitoring. Services that were once only available at a doctor’s office or hospital are now available on-demand through low-tech, affordable solutions. Personal systems allow for ‘good enough’ diagnostics that would have been difficult, expensive and timely to attain previously.
Using a basic phone with adapted software, a health worker can test for myriad symptoms - even cancer. This information can be relayed to a central medical care center where doctors and trained professionals can react to the data, provide prompt diagnosis and suggest treatment options. The ability to capture this data and get quick responses remotely means better healthcare, fewer trips to the hospital (which, for many means days away from home and family), and less time away from work.
A change is also occurring that is seeing increased access to and sharing of health information. This is made possible by the proliferation of systems designed to overcome infrastructure insufficiencies. these systems are enabling the broadcast of information and receipt of subsequent feedback in virtually any setting. From ‘town crier’ systems to ‘internet by text’, the collective knowledge found on the web is being made available to populations around the world who previously lacked access. The connectivity that is enabling the sharing of health information is also powering the growth of social networks focused on health and medical care. These networks are allowing professionals, health workers and individuals to connect and share knowledge quickly.
PSFK’s Future of Health Report details 15 trends that will impact health and wellness around the world. Simple advances such as off-the-grid energy and the introduction of gaming into healthcare service offerings sit alongside more future-forward developments such as bio-medical printing. It is our hope that this report will inspire your thinking and lead to services, applications and technologies which will allow for more available, quality healthcare.

Moore's Law and The FUTURE of Health CareWayne Caswell
Moore's Law and exponential technological progress will significantly impact the future of healthcare. Sensors and computers will become smaller, cheaper, and more powerful, enabling constant health monitoring and personalized medical care. However, political and economic forces resisting change, like lobbying from profitable healthcare industries, may inhibit reforms needed to optimize healthcare systems for wellness and prevention over treatment of preventable diseases. Unless addressed, these economic and political challenges could prevent technologies from fulfilling their potential to transform healthcare for the better.

Wide adoption of smartphones and availability of low-cost sensors has resulted in seamless and continuous monitoring of physiology, environment, and public health notifications. However, personalized digital health and patient empowerment can become a reality only if the complex multisensory and multimodal data is processed within the patient context. Contextual processing of patient data along with personalized medical knowledge can lead to actionable information for better and timely decisions. We present a system called kHealth capable of aggregating multisensory and multimodal data from sensors (passive sensing) and answers to questionnaire (active sensing) from patients with asthma. We present our preliminary data analysis comprising data collected from real patients highlighting the challenges in deploying such an application. The results show strong promise to derive actionable information using a combination of physiological indicators from active and passive sensors that can help doctors determine more precisely the cause, severity, and control level of asthma. Information synthesized from kHealth can be used to alert patients and caregivers for seeking timely clinical assistance to better manage asthma and improve their quality of life.

Patients’ own expectations for technology are growing and they have shared that digital technologies need to become more integral in the care delivery process. In the U.S., nearly half of Americans would opt for online capabilities vs. handling over the phone, such as getting lab test results, filling out paperwork ahead of a doctor’s appointment, accessing their medical records, and filling prescriptions. Given the increasing desire for a tech-driven care experience, patients are helping to spur technology adoption by their providers.
As the population ages, technology adoption and information exchange within the long term and post-acute care settings becomes increasingly more important. How can post-acute care agencies overcome challenges of limited resources (financial and workforce) to bring patient care delivery into the 21st century? Patients who take prescription medications for chronic conditions are also feeling the pain from a lack of tech-adoption when their doctors typically don’t offer them access to online condition management tools or make themselves available online or via email for questions. Dr. Van Terheyden will discuss what needs to happen to break down these barriers.

Artificial intelligence to fight against covid19saritamathania
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are playing a significant role in understanding and addressing the crisis caused by COVID-19. The technology mimic human intelligence and ingest great volumes of data to quickly chart patterns and identify insights.
One example is when BenevolentAI, a global leader in the development and application of artificial intelligence for drug discovery, took just few days to find that Baricitinib (a drug currently approved for rheumatoid arthritis, owned by Eli Lilly) is a strongest candidate and can be a potential treatment for COVID-19 patients.
This accelerated the clinical trials of #Baricitinib and Eli Lilly (a giant American Pharmaceutical company) has already commenced phase III clinical trials of Baricitinib to treat COVID-19.
Few more names include Deepmind, ImmunoPrecise, Insilico, healx, Imperial College, Tech Mahindra, and Deargen. Some Indian companies include NIRAMAI, Staqu, Qure.AI, Tech Mahindra, and DiyCam.

It concludes by discussing the role of human-computer interaction research in studying self-tracking systems and applications.
Recent advances and challenges of digital mental healthcareYoon Sup Choi
This document discusses research analyzing the relationship between mobile phone location sensor data and measures of depressive symptom severity. The research replicated a previous study finding significant correlations between several GPS-derived features (location variance, entropy, circadian movement) and scores on the PHQ-9 depression scale. These relationships were stronger when analyzing weekend versus weekday GPS data. GPS features predicted PHQ-9 scores up to 10 weeks later, suggesting they may serve as early warning signals of depression. The findings provide further evidence that passively collected GPS data from smartphones can reliably predict depressive symptom severity.
Wearable Technology Futures 2020: A New Path for Public Health?Ogilvy Health
This document summarizes research into how four popular wearable technology devices (Fitbit Flex, Jawbone UP24, Misfit Shine, and Withings Pulse O2) incorporate behavioral change techniques (BCTs) into their apps. It finds that while the devices are good at tracking user data, they may not be as effective at promoting long-term behavior change. Specifically, only a third of users continue using wearable devices after 6 months. The document analyzes which BCTs the devices support and which studies have found to be most effective for behavior change. A key finding is that one-size-fits-all solutions are not effective, as different techniques work better for different groups, such as obese
Presentation what if the whole world is bad in data-driven decision-making ...Sami Laine
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, data-driven decision making has became a hot topic even for everyday discussions. Societies around the world have been completely closed down as a result of decisions based on clinical data and theoretical simulations. At the same time, public discussions and decision-making have been worryingly misguided due to their blindsided focus on diagnosing the virus and related hospitalization and death rates. Currently, more and more people are starting to realize how uncertain statistics are due to lack of correct diagnosis and death case data. To make a valid decision you should have enough high-quality data. However, decision-making is even more about correct understanding of the underlying phenomena and its systemic characteristics rather than data itself!

This document discusses the history and future possibilities of wearable technology in healthcare. It notes that wearable devices could help monitor chronic conditions, track vital signs, and reduce healthcare costs. However, wearable devices also raise privacy and security issues. The document outlines several existing wearable devices and their healthcare applications. It predicts that wearables will play a larger role in personalized medicine by collecting more health data over larger populations.
The document tells a story about a bird named Birdy who hides from a cat named Tom in a large piece of cow poop. Though living in poop provides Birdy with food and safety, it also means living in darkness and with a bad smell. Birdy eventually decides to leave the poop and face his fears of Tom, believing he can defeat the cat and pursue his dreams of traveling, finding love, and eating seeds in open fields. The story encourages readers to confront their own fears rather than hiding from them.
