1st Transatlantic Leadership Forum - Connected Health - COVID Hyperdrive or Hype? | EBPOM Dingle Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

"It certainly has ignited some sort of telemedicine and remote monitoring revolution; I think we'll look back in 10 years and say, well, that's really when things ramped up and changed"

This piece is an engaging look at "connected health"; how are new technologies bringing world class experts straight to patients both safely, effectively and at a scale which was previously unimaginable? What are the drawbacks from both the perspective of patient and practitioner? Has the acceleration of these processes - caused by COVID19 restrictions - been a good thing or is it causing some people to be left behind?
