  Consumer eHealth is empowering consumers through apps, social media, portals, medical devices, and other means to better manage and influence their health and wellness, access healthcare services, and improve workflows with their caregivers. In combination with mobile health (mHealth) modalities oriented around digital healthcare technologies, such as clinical diagnostics and electronic health record systems, and virtual health capabilities as exemplified by live, asynchronous clinical visits to a healthcare organization, this potent trifecta has the potential to fundamentally create a truly patient-centric ecosystem of health and wellness services.

• Mobility Delivers Powerful Possibilities

  10/31/2014

  As the computer form factor shrank from the size of a room to a laptop, computing mobility finally became a reality. For over a decade, the laptop continued to shrink while increasing in performance and lowering in price. Mobility became synonymous with portability. However, with the advent of the smart phone, mobility now transcends a single product category and has morphed into an experience. Over a short five years, mobility has become synonymous with easy, convenient, enabling, engaging, meaningful, connected, and accessible. Mobility is no longer a material thing, but rather it’s the picture of a three-year-old playing their favorite game on their tablet while at their brother’s soccer game. It’s taking a spontaneous video of our kids playing in the pool and sharing it with their cousins in Europe. Mobility is an experience that fits naturally into our daily lives while delivering powerful, improved possibilities – PeriOperative Medicine is no exception.

• Healthcare's Spike In Cloud Adoption Raises Questions For Hospitals And Security Practitioners

  9/4/2018

  It might come as a surprise, being in one of the most highly-regulated industries around, that the healthcare sector has made significant strides when it comes to embracing the public cloud and the myriad cloud applications that exist today. Messaging apps like Slack enable rapid communication while file sync and share apps like Box enable instant collaboration. A good example of a cloud app that has become essential in large enterprises is Microsoft’s Office 365. Adoption in the healthcare industry has nearly doubled in since 2016, up from 30.9 to 57.3 percent in 2018. At the same time, with adoption of new technologies, the door is often left open for nefarious actors to take advantage of misconfigurations and careless employee practices that leave data exposed.
