On this episode of A Move In The Light Direction, a podcast by Surfacide UV Technology, host Daniel Litwin talked with Wendy Walling, Director of Global Marketing at Intellego Technologies, and Jeff Veenhuis, President and CEO, Surfacide Manufacturing.

The trio spoke about trends in summer travels as the U.S. meets new highs in travel demand and how these will impact safety expectations for brick-and-mortar locations. Overall, travel demand has increased for the summer, which is good news for the travel industry.

As the European Union recommends the return of non-essential travel for U.S. passengers to boost their economy, the U.S. itself is seeing travel numbers similar to 2019, which was an excellent year for travel.

We recently crossed 2 million passengers crossing check-in thresholds in a single day, the TSA reported. Venues across the country are also seeing high traffic again, which also impacts the hospitality industry, but safety expectations have changed due to COVID.

“Whether it’s travel or hotels, consumers are really looking for safety protocols,” Walling said. “They want to see it in the policy and in the practice. They want to see evidence of it. The brands I think are going to do well and manage the influx of travel again are the ones prepared to handle that.”

However, not everything is so peachy in the travel industry, as the world-shaking effect of COVID-19 lingers on with new variants. These could potentially lead to more restrictions on travelers and even more expectations for health and well-being.

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
