The pandemic accelerated several trends in healthcare, but perhaps none lined up more with the stressors of mass virality as telehealth solutions. Estimates from McKinsey predict that up to $250 billion in US healthcare spending could be shifted to virtual care.

As health systems take on this digital transformation, how should hospitals optimize as well as protect their technologies, especially IoT-enabled ones, to improve operations in a telehealth world? We spoke with Jonathan Langer, co-founder & CEO of Medigate, a medical cybersecurity company, to better understand these strategies.

Critical infrastructure was a major target the last year for bad actors looking to cash in on sensitive data. Langer gave more specific insights on how to protect health data & devices from ransomware, as well.

Even with telehealth’s mass acceleration, especially in practices like endocrinology & neurology, is the industry actually prepared for a full scale transition, or one that leverages these technologies every day? Here’s what Langer thinks.

Being the most expensive healthcare system in the world, the US is no stranger to debating cost savings strategies. Langer shares his strategies for holistic ways to put these new IoT integrations to use for cost-savings.

How Targeted Patient Education Improves Outcomes - Stephen Page, SmarterHealth.AI

How Targeted Patient Education Improves Outcomes - Stephen Page, SmarterHealth.AI

Targeted patient education powered by AI can reduce preventable readmissions and improve health equity, but healthcare organizations must prioritize clinical oversight, data security, and ethical governance when implementing these solutions.

  • 01Preventable readmissions occur when patients misunderstand medications, miss symptom recognition, or lack clarity on follow-up instructions, creating clinical, operational and financial burdens for healthcare systems
  • 02AI-delivered patient education must meet three criteria: solve a meaningful clinical or financial problem, integrate naturally into care workflows, and avoid adding burden to patients or clinicians
  • 03Healthcare leaders evaluating AI tools should prioritize solutions that improve patient understanding, support clinicians, reduce avoidable utilization, protect data security, and demonstrate measurable clinical or financial results
