Digitization, key in health care
Digital tools such as mobile applications, wearables or telemedicine platforms have become a key element in improving our health care.. On the one hand, these functionalities provide professionals with real-time information about their patients and their health status, in addition to allowing faster and more precise care, which facilitates decision-making regarding specific treatments and care.. Users can also access information about their own care, thus increasing responsibility and the ability to make conscious decisions about their health.
The study The state of mental health in Spain by Sanitas reveals that six out of 10 Spaniards consider that digital tools could be useful to ensure greater emotional well-being. Among those familiar with these mobile applications or digital resources, 30% stated that they had used them on some occasion, especially those that help combat insomnia or contribute to relaxation (69.4%), mindfulness applications (48.6 %) or yoga and physical activity (31.9%).
Based on these data, Sanitas, aware that preventive care and physical and emotional well-being are key to today's society, has developed Monitor your health and Take care of your mind.
The first, Monitor your health, is a totally digital and personalized service included in the digital insurance, bluaU, where the client can choose a personalized or standard monitoring, remotely controlling the health data registered in the different devices. Each client has a health coordinator who can be accessed at any time, a general medicine expert who has a 360º perspective of the person.
As for Cuida tu mente, it was born with the aim of caring for, preventing and promoting people's mental health.. Thanks to this app, it is possible to carry out an online psychological assessment that serves as a starting point for the patient to personalize their experience, assess their emotional state and the need for psychological intervention.
In this scenario, the first Sanitas Future Health The Event will be held on May 17, a meeting in which the keys to the health of the future will be known together with the innovations in the sector that will revolutionize current medicine.
Said meeting will be attended by the Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, a reference in contemporary thought and author of the best sellers Homo Deus or Sapiens.. In addition, Robert Istepanian, professor at Imperial College London and father of the m-Health concept, will attend to share the advantages that digitization applied to medicine offers patients and professionals. On the other hand, three leading startups in the future of health will be present: Tucuvi, Nuralogyx and Indya.
