Digital Health, marked by the integration of technology into healthcare practices, has become a cornerstone in modern healthcare systems. From wearable devices tracking vital signs to telehealth platforms connecting patients and healthcare providers, the digital revolution has redefined the patient experience. AI, on the other hand, adds a layer of intelligence to this transformation, with the ability to process vast datasets, identify patterns, and deliver personalized insights. In this session, Dr. Ehrenfeld will describe the current landscape of Digital Health, highlighting key technological advancements that have reshaped patient care. Wearables, remote patient monitoring, and telemedicine have not only improved accessibility but have also empowered individuals to actively engage in their well-being. The integration of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has streamlined information flow, enhancing communication among healthcare professionals and leading to more informed decision-making. He then outline regulatory obstacles and considerations for ensuring that emerging technologies meet with needs of patients and physicians alike. Ethical considerations and challenges associated with the intersection of Digital Health and AI will also be discussed.
