Abstract :

People-centered health care focuses on seeking an active role for the patient and also to strengthen all other members of the health team, including families. By promoting greater opportunity for patients, it is possible to have better health outcomes, quality of life, and optimal return on investment in the health system. To carry out this new model, we need not only new technologies but also a change in the way the way we communicate and collaborate with patients and families. This talk will present some innovations and electronic health systems to connect patients, families and professionals. The talk will describe an e-health system for maternal health and pediatrics. A description will be provided by a system called InfoSAGE that provides education and communication for coordinated care for the elderly in assisted living homes. Opportunities for the use of mobile health applications, portable diagnostic technologies, and big data applications will be discussed. The challenges to establishing people-centered e-health systems will be discussed.
