Reaching people – Getting Digital Health innovation into practice (Panel discussion with LBI-DHP institute partners)

Description

The researcher Angelika Rzepka discusses the challenges of digital transformation in healthcare and identifies four key factors to inspire patients and professionals to embrace digital health solutions:
1. Successful Digital Solutions: There are already integrated health solutions, such as "Herzmobil," that can serve as role models, with their feasibility and cost-efficiency demonstrated.
2. Success Factors: It is crucial for the quality of information, service quality, user satisfaction, and user expectations to be positive. When these factors align, the likelihood of effectively using digital solutions increases.
3. Interoperability: For professionals and patients, it is essential not to have to deal with a multitude of different apps. Therefore, systems should be developed that can communicate with one another.
4. Financing: Patients should not face financial pressure to use digital solutions. Viable funding models must be established to ensure reimbursement for these digital health services.

Other experts in the discussion affirm the importance of education in the healthcare sector to inform both professionals and patients about digital solutions. They emphasize the challenge of engaging both patients and professionals with digital health solutions and stress the need to demonstrate the effectiveness and user-friendliness of such solutions. The exchange of successful models and the involvement of stakeholders are seen as essential factors for the success of further implementations.
