AbstractDigital Health-Enabled Community-Centered Care (D-CCC) represents a pioneering vision for the future of community-centered care. Utilizing an artificial intelligence-enabled closed-loop digital health platform designed for, and with, community health workers, D-CCC enables timely and individualized delivery of interventions by community health workers to the communities they serve. D-CCC has the potential to transform the current landscape of manual, episodic and restricted community health worker-delivered care and services into an expanded, digitally interconnected and collaborative community-centered health and social care ecosystem which centers around a digitally empowered community health workforce of the future.

Silver Bullet

In Chapter 8 we turn to Co-futuring Kinship—the ways in which past and present practices inform how the future of the kinship for care at a distance. This is particularly important for “super-aging” contexts like Japan in which one in three is of 80 years old. Chapter 8 sets the picture for discussion around digital health in which mobile media is fully imbricated in. Discussions around a “silver bullet” in the form of a mobile app still dominate despite the fact that there is much work into the need for social, rather than technological, solutions.

Abstract The panellist Anant Jani will discuss about: What is the value of digital health? There is much hope and hype surrounding the potentially transformative effect that digital health tools can have in health and care systems but it is very difficult to ascertain the true value that digital health tools currently deliver or could deliver in the future. Compounding this uncertainty is the diverse, large and ever-changing digital health landscape - there are currently over 300,000 health and care apps on the market place in comparison to the less than 2000 drugs health and care systems normally have to deal with. In this session, we highlight how the quadruple value framework, recently endorsed by the EU Commission, can be used to help rationalize the digital health ecosystem by promoting the interventions that have the greatest potential to promote primary, secondary or tertiary prevention while optimising resource utilisation.

ObjectivesWe aimed to explore the opinion leader empowered patients’ relationship with their medical professionals, their experiences and beliefs about technologies, and how they see the future. We also attempted to determine whether technologies, the access to it or patient empowerment are the main driving forces behind these changes.DesignA qualitative interview study analysed with interpretative phenomenological analysis.SettingAll interviews were conducted and recorded individually with the same trained interviewer via a Skype call.ParticipantsThe study is based on qualitative, semistructured interviews with 11 opinion leader empowered patients from six countries including UK, USA, Australia, Sweden, South Africa and Ireland.ResultsWe identified four superordinate themes emerging from e-patients’ experiences: (1) impact of technology, (2) the meaning of empowerment, (3) the changing physician–patient relationship and (4) expectations for the future. The relationship e-patients have with their physicians is based on efficient communication, proactivity, the desire for asking questions and the use of technologies. The interviews have shown that the rapid development of technology has fundamentally changed the lives of these e-patients, and technology eventually is transforming the physician–patient relationship into a partnership. Regarding the future of the physician–patient partnership, e-patients emphasised that change will rather be cultural than technological.ConclusionsThe interviews have shown that cooperation between technology and healthcare is not enough on its own: the most decisive factor is the return of the human touch and reciprocal communication. All of these suggest that technology is an important ally in the ‘renaissance of medicine’ that starts to treat patients as it should have always had.

Purpose The technological advances in the Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 era escalate the advancement of the healthcare industry, including the health tourism phenomenon. Based on the current trend in connected health care (e.g. mobile healthcare technology; digital health, etc.), this paper aims to propose that the distance between healthcare providers around the globe and its potential patients can be vastly reduced to almost on a real time basis. Design/methodology/approach A secondary literature review is conducted to identify the key development of IR 4.0 technologies in the healthcare industry and its possible trend leading the health tourism sector. Findings The adoption of IR 4.0 technologies is expected to make seeking treatments overseas more affordable, accessible and health records readily available on a real-time and secured basis. However, it is worth to note that the growth of health tourism raises the eyebrows of society from the security, social and economic perspectives. Originality/value This paper contributes to our understanding that the emergence of IR 4.0 technologies changes the landscape of the health care and health tourism industry. Continuous technology advancement is expected to further shape the future trend and escalate the commercialization aspect of the health tourism industry.

Purpose of review: To imagine the future methods and paradigms for evaluating treatments in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP). A historical perspective will be adopted first to explain the origin of methods and designs presently in use. Then an overview of methodological breakthroughs that occur currently will be presented. Recent findings: At the moment, mechanisms of action and randomized controlled trials are the two pillars of treatment evaluation. However, personalized medicine, digital health, big data, health economy, and patient organizations strongly question this state of affairs. As a result, new methodological approaches are arriving in force among which “n-of-1” studies, Bayesian designs, observational studies, and Qualitative researches. Summary: In CAP, psychological treatments are important, there are numerous age groups, and many moderators influencing treatment efficacy. This may be a reason why CAP has not benefited as much as many other medical specialties from Evidence-Based Medicine. Fortunately, the methodological revolution we are going through at the moment is likely to change this. If CAP can get the ball rolling, it will gain a lot in therapeutic efficacy.
