How can we optimize healthcare patient flow using technology?
As we mentioned in previous articles, the life expectancy in developed countries continues to rise, reaching an average of 81 years in Europe, according to 2019 data from the Spanish National Statistics Institute. However, this increase in life expectancy is accompanied by an increase in chronic diseases, with the burden on the healthcare system that this implies.
What are “Early Access Programs” and what part do Real-World Data play in their operation?
Currently, as we know, healthcare products must demonstrate their safety and efficacy through the completion of multiple clinical trials, passing through a strict regulatory process before their approval. However, there are situations in which early access to certain treatments and therapies is vital for patients suffering from critical and rare diseases.
Transformation of the health system using “Digital Twins”
The extended use of the Internet of Things in all areas of life, as well as the growth and continuous improvement of Artificial Intelligence is generating an increasing interest in the development of virtual worlds and digital twins, which are virtual replicas of an object or system in the physical world. These virtual twins use simulation, machine learning, and logic to help in decision-making.
Real-Life Data reported by patients: What do they contribute in oncology?
After diagnosis, oncology patients begin a process of periodic follow-up by their specialist, who is in charge of evaluating the patient’s health, treatment, symptoms, adverse events, etc., all vitally important for the management of the disease.
This enables them to determine the patient’s general status, and its impact on his or her quality of life.

Participatory Medicine: What it is and how it is improving health outcomes

For a long time, most interactions between the doctor and the patient have been largely directed by the doctor. Now, this focus is changing towards a participatory medicine in which the patient plays an active role in the process of care.
