COVID-19 has demanded a rapid shift in the world of telehealth and digital health, resulting in a global embracing of a telehealth and digital health system that is not yet fully developed. On this episode of the McDermott Health podcast, our digital health partners have joined to discuss the future of telehealth and use of digital tools to speed up care delivery and to improve outcomes in the wake of COVID-19, as well as the vital role of data readiness in reshaping the healthcare system. McDermott’s Chief Marketing Officer Leslie Tullio is joined by partners Stephen Bernstein and Lisa Mazur to examine current trends and potential changes to both telehealth as well as the broader digital health landscape, including:
- The most impactful regulatory telehealth changes that have resulted from COVID-19
- A look beyond telehealth to a paradigm shift in the broader digital health landscape
- The impact that a more refined data exchange pathway could have on treatment during the next wave of COVID-19 or future pandemics
- Meaningful collaborations that are currently happening in the digital health space
- A look at innovations that are emerging from the demands of post-COVID-19 healthcare
- Legal and regulatory compliance steps that still need to be taken to allow these telehealth programs to continue in the future
