With the increase in remote monitoring of patients and the provision of telemedicine services during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the role of digital health in medicine, as wearables, electronic health records, sensors, apps, and other technologies, has come to the forefront.
Especially in chronic care like rheumatology, the advent of digital health innovations and the digitization of healthcare has created new avenues for both clinicians and patients toward more efficient disease management and, in turn, potentially better health outcomes.
Our featured guests are W. Benjamin Nowell, PhD, MSW, director of patient-centered research at Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF) and CreakyJoints®, and Jeffrey Curtis, MD, MS, MPH, professor of medicine in the Division of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
