Episode Description:

What if you could take a selfie to know whether you're healthy? Fitness Trackers, Alexa, Siri, TikTok -- The digital age has ushered in unprecedented access to health information, empowering patients to take control of their well-being, and tech is only getting smarter. In this episode we discuss how stepping on your bathmat can give your vitals or a smart mirror can detect cancer. However, digital redlining and the abundance of misinformation pose significant challenges to healthcare delivery. Dr. John Whyte from WebMD explains the risk and rewards of using smart tech for health diagnosis.

Discussion points:

  • Data-driven diagnostics from the comfort of your home and how technologies are empowering patients. 
  • The biggest concerns from healthcare providers as it relates to self-diagnosis and how to protect yourself. 
  • Bridging the gap between technology and human connection to create a healthcare ecosystem that educates patients, improves outcomes, and strengthens the patient-provider relationship.
