Clinitouch, originating in the UK NHS, is expanding globally with a focus on chronic conditions and adapting to regional nuances in healthcare delivery. In this discussion several speakers discuss telemedicine in the context of Nigeria and South Africa. Speakers are: Bruce Adams, Commercial Director at Clinitouch (UK) Japie De Jongh, CEO, Synaxon (South Africa) Dr John Adesioye, CEO, Utopian Consulting (Nigeria) Liam van Rooyen, System Support Manager (Synaxon, South Africa) Key points: African Context and Healthcare from the Transcript Role of Remote Patient Monitoring in Addressing Healthcare Gaps: Dr. John Aade (Nigeria) emphasized that remote patient monitoring (RPM) emerged as a practical solution during the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing the need for care delivery without physical hospital visits. In Nigeria, RPM is particularly relevant for patients in remote or underserved areas, enabling data collection and transmission to healthcare providers without requiring face-to-face interactions. Community health workers often play a crucial role, stepping in where doctors and nurses are unavailable. They collect patient data, assess needs, and escalate cases to medical professionals when necessary, highlighting RPM's potential in resource-limited settings. The Dual Healthcare Systems in South Africa: Jaapie de Jong (South Africa) explained the dichotomy of healthcare in South Africa: the private sector, serving insured patients with robust infrastructure, and the public sector, catering to the uninsured population through community healthcare clinics (CHCs) and basic clinics. He noted that while the private sector is aligned with international standards, the public sector faces capacity challenges. RPM in South Africa focuses on insured patients with chronic conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, to reduce hospital visits and improve care efficiency. Challenges to Technology Adoption in Africa: Both Dr. John and Jaapie highlighted several barriers to adopting RPM technology: Device Compatibility and Connectivity: Limited access to smartphones and stable internet connectivity is a significant challenge. Many patients rely on basic phones and are hesitant to allocate resources for more advanced devices. Trust Issues: Patients often worry about data privacy and fraud, especially in regions like South Africa, where cell phone fraud is common. Providers must build trust by ensuring data security and clarifying the purpose and safety of the technology. Power and Infrastructure Limitations: In Nigeria, power outages and the high cost of diesel for generators disrupt patients' ability to use RPM devices consistently. Economic Considerations and Funding Models: Bruce Adams noted that RPM adoption heavily depends on who pays for the service. In many African countries, healthcare services involve a mix of out-of-pocket payments and insurer-funded models. In South Africa, as explained by Jaapie, medical aid schemes (insurers) play a critical role in covering high-risk, chronic condition patients. However, integrating RPM into existing reimbursement structures and ensuring that providers are compensated for remote care remain challenging. Localized Implementation of UK-Inspired Technology: Bruce Adams stressed the importance of adapting Clinitouch's UK-developed RPM platform to local African contexts. Instead of directly transplanting the UK model, Clinitouch collaborates with local partners to understand specific healthcare needs and tailor the platform accordingly. Jaapie praised the platform's flexibility and customization, noting its suitability for South African chronic disease management programs. The ability to localize the tool for hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic conditions was cited as a significant advantage in addressing Africa’s healthcare challenges. www.facesofdigitalhealth.com https://fodh.substack.com/

On so many issues, Congress has not been willing or able to act. But when faced with horrifying stories of death and mismanagement, Congress finally passed legislation to reform the US organ transplant system. They did so because people like Donna Cryer, a transplant recipient and patient advocate, demanded a better system for Americans who need lifesaving organ transplants. Now, as the new law moves into implementation, the work continues. In this episode, Donna and I discuss:The new legislation that is breaking up the deadly organ transplant monopolyHow ignoring the expertise and insights of patients dooms us to slow progress making healthcare safer and better Her advice for young people: “take your shot”Donna says we all need to start listening more closely to patients with lived experience:“I often think if you... had many people with great deals of experience and intelligence who were highly motivated to help you achieve your goal. Why would you not want to use them? Why would you not want to partner with them? Why would you work really, really hard to keep them away from solving the problem? And that's how people treat patients and patient advocates.”Relevant LinksDonna Cryer’s testimony to the Senate Finance Committee on organ transplant system failures (just past the 48:00 mark)Summary of the new law to break up the organ transplantation monopolyMore about the Global Liver InstituteSee more details about the Advanced Advocacy Academy Donna's organization launchedVisit UNOS’ websiteAbout Our GuestDonna R.

In this episode of The TRU Leader Podcast, hosts Michelle and Tracy explore the concept of Thriving, Resilient, and Unstoppable (TRU) leadership, emphasizing the importance of resilient leaders for the success of organizations, communities, and families. They stress the need for leaders to reassess ingrained norms and limiting beliefs, which often lead to burnout, highlighting how the misconception that hard work alone guarantees success can be detrimental. Drawing on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the discussion reveals that many leaders operate at basic survival levels, struggling to meet their own needs in a complex environment. Emotional connections and relationships are underscored as essential for leadership success, with self-actualization being the ultimate goal for TRU leaders. The episode delves into key strategies for leadership development, focusing on balancing professional achievements with personal fulfillment. Mentorship is framed around managing four core polarities: work-life balance, self-care, rest, and maintaining relationships. To help leaders achieve their goals, the podcast introduces a dynamic balance plan that includes setting boundaries, calendar blocking, and prioritization. Finally, the concept of “being it first” encourages leaders to embody resilience and leadership qualities before taking action, helping them overcome fears and limiting beliefs to thrive both professionally and personally.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.   Guest: Jon O. Ebbert, M.D. According to the CDC, in 2020 nearly 20% of high school students reported using a vaping product, and nearly a quarter of them indicated they used the product daily. It’s now known that vaping has potential health risks and is just as addictive as combustible tobacco products with some vaping cartridges having a higher concentration of nicotine than cigarettes. In this podcast, we’ll discuss nicotine dependence with an update on vaping. My guest is Jon O. Ebbert, M.D., an internist and nicotine dependence specialist at the Mayo Clinic. I’ll be asking Dr. Ebbert about the health risks of vaping, including second-hand exposure, the likelihood of “vapers” to switch to traditional tobacco products and whether vaping has any potential to help individuals discontinue use of tobacco products. Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.
