The Patient Perspectives on Digital Access to Primary Care report flags the convenience and benefits of digital access while making clear recommendations on how to mitigate the challenges faced by some groups. Clearly a study that could be replicated, this team recommends sharing across London rather than England. Seems clear that you need to be able to explore the data at a local level plan how best to serve the local population. https://lnkd.in/eEawhpXm

An excellent succinct summary of the White House Clinical Trials Forum held Weds., 26JUN from Moe Alsumidaie in his #ClinicalTrialsVanguard [https://lnkd.in/gUJhSRWb]. Thanks, Moe! The White House Clinical Trials Forum brought together key leaders in science, healthcare, and patient advocacy to address the pressing issues in clinical trials. The event, organized by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), aimed to highlight innovative approaches to make clinical trials more inclusive and accessible to all Americans. The director of the OSTP emphasized that despite being one of the wealthiest countries, the U.S. faces unacceptable health inequities, with dozens of countries boasting longer life expectancies. The need for inclusive clinical trials that reflect the country’s diverse population to develop effective interventions was highlighted LINK: https://lnkd.in/gK3dzYN9 #Clinicaldevelopment #Diversity #Inclusion Race in STEM The White House biomedwoRx: Life Sciences Consulting

FOMO in our digitally transformed healthcare era means lack of data equity. It is the fact that some regions have easy access to digital health and all its glory, whilst other regions that are not so tech heavy are lacking the accessibility to these advancements due to simple geography. I have recently came across an interesting article that goes into addressing FOMO on global health advancements. John Halamka, the president of Mayo Clinic Platform shares his vision to create a more sustainable, resourceful and democratized global healthcare. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚? ▶ Leveraging the cloud to make Mayo Clinic's extensive health data globally accessible, fostering innovation across borders. ▶ Establishing partnerships with healthcare institutions worldwide to share data securely and ethically. ▶ Utilizing AI to analyze vast datasets, which helps in developing universally applicable health models. ▶ Working with both governmental and commercial entities to ensure a unified approach to health data usage and innovation. ▶ Addressing diverse international health regulations proactively. 𝙎𝙤, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩? John's initiative offers significant benefits like: ▶ Democratizing access to medical information ▶ Enhancement of HCPs' capabilities ▶ Promoting health and data equity ▶ Fosters international collaboration This initiative serves great purpose to create a healthcare ecosystem that is truly democratized and patient-centric.

📢 Exciting News from CareSimple & UCSF! Today, we're thrilled to announce a pioneering initiative that underscores our commitment to equity, health, and innovation. CareSimple has joined forces with the esteemed University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to launch a clinical trial aimed at fostering equity in remote hypertension self-management. 🔍 What's the Focus? The REACH clinical trial will delve into the efficacy of home blood pressure monitors and digital communication tools in aiding hypertension self-management. The goal is to integrate remote monitoring into established safety-net clinic workflows and empower patients in their health journeys. 🌍 Why Does It Matter? With hypertension being a predominant concern in the U.S., especially among marginalized communities, this study aims to address these disparities head-on, championing a more equitable approach to healthcare. 🗣 A Word from the Experts: Dr. Courtney Lyles, the study's principal investigator, emphasizes, "For patients from historically and presently marginalized communities, there's a pressing need to center interventions and solutions that diminish health inequities." Michael Nadeau, CEO and Founder of CareSimple, echoes the sentiment, highlighting our aspiration to "provide patients with virtual care beyond telehealth" and transform patient experiences. 🔗 Learn More: For an in-depth look at the REACH study and its objectives, visit the dedicated page on our website: CareSimple & UCSF REACH Study For any press-related inquiries, please reach out at media@caresimple.com.

I am pleased to announce the publication of our review article in the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare. Thank you Profs Prof Linda Hong-Gu HE, PhD, MD, RN, FAAN, Pikkarainen Minna, and Year 4 Hons students for the excellent collaboration! The focus of this systematic review was to evaluate the impact of mobile health (mHealth) applications on the psychosocial well-being of breast cancer patients and their caregivers. We rigorously analyzed 12 trials involving a total of 1,204 breast cancer patient-caregiver dyads. The key outcomes studied include dyadic adjustment, depression, anxiety, stress, symptom distress, social well-being, and relationship quality. The meta-analysis revealed some unexpected findings. It was observed that caregivers in the control groups exhibited lower levels of anxiety and stress compared to those who participated in mHealth interventions. These findings serve as critical insights for healthcare professionals, technologists, and policymakers. The nuanced outcomes indicate a need to further refine the design and implementation of mHealth interventions to ensure that they are beneficial to both patients and their caregivers.

Take a read as our CEO talks about the lack of diversity in clinical trials and how to increase participation! 💡📣

Good mobile healthcare is not a 'nice to have,' but an 'urgent to have.' Providing access to care goes beyond having the latest equipment available, as a number of social, geographic, and economic reasons can impact whether someone will actually receive care. The study below highlights that mobile screening brings gains that extend beyond clinical outcomes, with operational and environmental benefits included. I’ve had the opportunity to witness different realities when it comes to healthcare – from people living in tents with very limited access to services to high-end hospitals with top technology. There is a lot more that I haven’t had the chance to personally see – the horrors of war have posed terrible challenges. I will always be a strong advocate for mobile healthcare and initiatives that improve the quality of care considering the patient’s context. https://lnkd.in/gJe557Xs #healthcare #mobilehealthcare
