Diana VermeijAbout designing and facilitating interactions for patients to
improve participation in their own medical treatment
Apps for the PlanetAugust 17, 2011BNO Amsterdam
Why should we facilitate interaction between people being under medical treatment..?
Because being ill
without the ability to
participate, feels like pushing a heavy rock
uphill..
..but what does healthcare
innovation have to do with the planet??
We develop services to help people do
more themselves and really participate
during their medical treatment..
..that is relevant because Dutch healthcare spendings will fivefold in the coming 15 years..
..for healthcare professionals it is crucial to look for innovative ways to enable people to do more
themselves..
..medical specialists can be skeptical about healthcare and the Internet..
But there is a generation coming that has different needs and demands.
And this creates opportunities
We need to look at services from a patients’ perspective, not solely the doctors’
remember this..?
..just a simple example of using technology to provide smarter care..
