When we think of receiving health care, often what comes to mind may be sitting in an exam room, being in a hospital, or visiting a pharmacy. But what about when we receive healthcare virtually? How do telehealth appointments, wearable devices, and health apps impact our access to care and shift how healthcare is provided in this day and age? In this episode, we spoke to Aditi U. Joshi, MD, digital health strategist and emergency medicine physician, and João Bocas, CEO at Digital Salutem, about emerging healthcare tech, how technology can bridge the gap between advancement in healthcare and human connection, and what people can do with healthcare tech to dramatically improve their health. Additionally, we sat down with Jason Saucier to hear his powerful story on how his Apple Watch discovered his atrial fibrillation and how he was positively impacted by his wearable device.
