Meet key Digital Health thought leaders

AbstractChildren with epilepsy often have impairments in cognitive and behavioral functioning which may hinder socio-occupational well-being as they reach adulthood. Adolescents with epilepsy have the added worry of health problems while starting the transition from family-centered pediatric care into largely autonomous adult care. If this transition is not appropriately planned and resourced, it may result in medical mistrust, nonadherence, and worsening biopsychosocial health as an adult. In recent years, there has been increased availability of digital health solutions that may be used during this stark change in care and treating teams. The digital health landscape includes a wide variety of technologies meant to address challenges faced by patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and health care systems. These technologies include mobile health products and wearable devices (e.g., seizure monitors and trackers, smartphone passive data collection), digital therapeutics (e.g., cognitive/behavioral health management; digital speech–language therapy), telehealth services (e.g., teleneurology visits), and health information technology (e.g., electronic medical records with patient portals). Such digital health solutions may empower patients in their journey toward optimal brain health during the vulnerable period of pediatric to adult care transition. Further research is needed to validate and measure their impact on clinical outcomes, health economics, and quality of life.

John Mullins is a researcher, teacher and one of the world’s foremost thought leaders in entrepreneurship. Over the years, John has been hailed as an inspiration for entrepreneurs who have employed the models outlined in books such as Getting to Plan B or The Customer-Funded Business, in order to transform their ideas into global startup companies. Now in its 5th edition, The New Business Road Test guides the reader through the complex yet gripping process of testing a business idea. How can you be completely sure that your list of start-up ideas is good or bad? How much time or money should you invest in each of these ideas? And, for first-time entrepreneurs, should you embark upon a start-up just because you love your idea? Should you leave a stable job and focus entirely on what feels to you like a good business idea? Mullins’ book offers thoughtful readers guidance on the thorny issues associated with entrepreneurship that you yourself may be facing even as you read this introduction. In order to fully understand the theories behind the tools and advice for testing your idea, we must start by understanding Mullins’ vision of the entrepreneurial world. The book begins by defining three elements crucial to the success of a business: the market, the industry, and the entrepreneurial team.
