Natalie Schibell, MPH, VP of Marketing Strategy, Intelligence, and Insights at Zyter|TruCare, participated in the Parks Associates virtual Connected Health Summit, where she delivered a compelling presentation on the transformative impact of connected health devices on healthcare and wellness. Joined by a panel of top industry leaders, Schibell explored how these devices, integral to the broader Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare, are revolutionizing patient care management.
During her talk, Schibell emphasized the importance of continuous monitoring and personalized healthcare services enabled by connected devices, ranging from everyday wearables to sophisticated medical equipment. She highlighted four critical insights:
- Leverage Data Augmentation and Team Collaboration: To remain competitive in the patient monitoring industry, providers must have access to augmented data from RPM devices and ensure staff are equipped to monitor and make this data actionable. If they lack the necessary staff, they should consider partnerships to integrate this data seamlessly with care team operations.
- Prioritize Cybersecurity Investments: Companies must prioritize investments in cybersecurity to protect consumer data, enhancing trust and security in connected health technologies. Achieving HITRUST and SOC 2 certifications is crucial for demonstrating commitment to data protection and compliance with industry standards.
- Innovate for an Aging Population: With 20% of the population expected to be over 65 by 2030, there is a necessity to advance technology in this sector to meet the specific needs of an aging society. This includes developing solutions that address the unique health challenges and care requirements of older adults.
- Ensure Integration with Existing Healthcare Systems: Ensuring digital therapeutics integrate seamlessly with EHRs and clinical systems requires significant investment in technology upgrades and staff training. Overcoming interoperability challenges and managing fragmented healthcare IT systems across providers and regions is essential for effective integration.
Her insights underline the crucial role of technology in enhancing patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
