HealthTech Advances: Data-Driven Care and Patient Data
HealthTech Advances: Data-Driven Care and Patient Data Data-driven care uses patient data from many sources to guide decisions about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. By linking information from electronic health records, wearable devices, radiology, and lab results, clinicians can see a fuller picture of health. This approach aims to tailor care, catch problems earlier, and use resources more efficiently. Interoperability—the ability for different systems to share data securely—is a key enabler. When data can move across organizations with clear consent, a patient’s history travels with them, reducing redundant tests and delays. Strong data governance and privacy protections are essential to maintain trust between patients and providers. ...
