Guest Speaker Adam Page, Director of Application Services Health Information Technology at North Shore Hospital, and Kristin Murtos, President of North Shore Hospital, and Skokie Valley Rotary Club Member.

Adam Page along with Kristin Murtos, did a presentation on the North Shore Hospital's Digital Health.

Adam and Kristin explained to the club assembly that Digital Health is the ability to engage patients as an integral member of their own care team working closely with their physicians and nurses to manage their health and wellness through a series of digital technologies, devices or apps. Digital health can mean tracking a patient's weight, activity levels or blood sugar levels, gathering heart data or information about dermatological conditions, making nutritional suggestions or even just sending out a reminder to apply sunscreen.

"In other words" Adam said, "in healthcare we are finding ways to deconstruct the patient-doctor encounter and re-imagine how care can be delivered in a patient-centric world. How can we take what other industries are doing and apply it to healthcare?

This catalyst behind changing how healthcare will be delivered is technology. Technology is key to engaging patients more proactively in their own healthcare.

Digital health, then, is a series of tools that can be leveraged by both patients and their doctors to help patients maintain their own health and manage chronic illnesses".
