Council Post: New Ways Technology Is Connecting Patients To Healthcare

Omri Shor is CEO of Medisafe, a leading digital health company, helping patients manage their treatment journey. Technology has always been an important part of healthcare, and as a result of the digital transformation caused by Covid-19, we've seen rapid advancements that have significantly improved the way care is being delivered. Now, after years of lagging behind other industries, healthcare is finally seeing a rush of new technologies not only being developed but also meaningfully implemented in clinical, administrative and operational applications--and across different types of organizations--to address many of the issues that have long plagued healthcare. The pandemic also led to patients wanting to become more involved in their healthcare decisions. When patients are more engaged in their healthcare journeys, they generally are more satisfied with the care they receive and have better health outcomes.
