Throughout 2020, we have heard time and again how the Covid-19 pandemic has incredibly accelerated the process of digital transformation of the entire society, embracing any economic activity and any sector, including the healthcare sector. The digital transformation in the health world began well before the unexpected advent of the pandemic, but certainly the need to interact in the absence of contact, for public health reasons, provided an important push, for example, towards the adoption of telemedicine . Just as the need to support healthcare workers as much as possible has provided a further stimulus to the adoption of artificial intelligence to support diagnostics . But beyond the stimuli offered by the Covid-19 pandemic, what are the most interesting innovations in the world of digital health today? To answer this question, just name two: Amazon and Apple . Can't wait to delve deeper into these topics? In this article we will talk about: Amazon: Welcome to Alexa Together Apple: the Health app is enriched with new features Amazon: Welcome to Alexa Together Taking care of elderly people is an important, complex and delicate task and to do it best you need all the support possible, including that provided by technology. And it is in this context that the new subscription service developed by Amazon fits in .
Alexa Together is a service available through the Amazon Echo smart speaker that allows you to assist and monitor elderly people remotely. The service allows family members or healthcare professionals to set daily alerts informing of the activities of the person being followed as well as to set reminders for loved ones relating, for example, to taking medications. Among the features of Alexa Together we find: 24/7 emergency assistance system - the moment the elderly person says “Alexa, call for help”, he or she is immediately connected to the emergency numbers. Virtual assistant that helps, for example, manage shopping lists. Fall detection system - if connected devices detect a fall, Alexa Together contacts the elderly person with the emergency number Australia WhatsApp Number Data Alexa Together will be active starting in 2022 initially exclusively in the United States . And given that, as the Americans would say, " it takes a village " to take care of your loved ones, Alexa Together allows you to include more than one person among the caregivers who have access to the service, thus creating a real circle of support around the elderly person. ihealthyou-empowerment-virtuoso-portal Apple: the Health app is enriched with new features Sharing, monitoring and prevention . These are the keywords that best describe Apple's updates to the Health app.
which were announced last June and went live in recent weeks with the update included in iOS 15 . The Health app now includes a new Sharing panel that allows you to share data with a trusted person or healthcare professional: the user always has full control over what data they share and with whom and the shared data is presented to those who receive it with the most important information and trends highlighted. In the United States, the sharing option is also extended to doctors, thus allowing users to share some data relating to their health with their doctor, such as heart rate, falls detected, hours of sleep or minutes of physical activity. Furthermore, for those doctors who work within the medical centers involved in this initial phase of release of the new features, the clinician can consult the data from the Apple Health app which the user chooses to share directly in their patient's electronic record . A second new feature of the Health app concerns the Trend function which allows you to more easily monitor the evolution of the data recorded by the app in reference to the various parameters available - from resting heart rate to hours of sleep. This potentially allows you to have clearer information about your health status and identify any anomalous deviations that could be useful to report to your doctor.
