Digital health in times of public health crisis

In times like these digital health strategies are more important than ever. Wearables and smart medical devices can and should now prove their worth to the consumers as well as healthcare systems.

The more data points the consumers have collected around the vitality and well-being the better the interpretation of the healthcare providers will be in times of crisis. Especially the resting heart rate is a super valuable indicator of the current state of your immune system (and fitness level). If suddenly your resting heart rate jumps up 10 bpm you may not be fully recovered, or your immune system could be under attack.

In addition to the cardiac numbers, the data points around sleep quality/quantity, HRV and physical workload could help healthcare providers substantially in the evaluation of clinical data and in the decision-making process for treatment protocols.

The more data you own in times of health and vitality – the better the outcome will be when times get tough. Know your numbers! Start collecting!
