The ability to share images and ECGs and seek advice in real-time significantly improves prehospital care.Challenges of Integration: Discussion on the complexities of transitioning to unified systems due to different healthcare systems being at various stages and using outdated systems.Need for Standardisation: Emphasis on the messy state of integrating diverse IT systems and the necessity for standards like FHIR to achieve better interoperability.Phased Approach to Interoperability: Elaboration of the phased approach in Australian healthcare, using interim solutions like PDF transfers and amPHI web views to improve information sharing.Real-time Access for Paramedics: Real-time access to patient information from ambulances can significantly aid hospital teams in trauma situations, helping in better collaboration and continuous care.Designing User-friendly Systems: Dedalus’ initiative to involve paramedics in system design and testing to ensure practical utility is key to developing user-friendly, intuitive systems.Check out the episode and full show notes on the Talking HealthTech website.Loving the show?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Joselyn R. Lebow, Ph.D., L.P. Unfortunately, mental health problems are common in our youth. A recent study by the CDC found that among adolescents aged 12 to 17, just under 21% had experienced a major depressive episode within the past year. Among high school students, more than 35% reported feeling sad or hopeless, with nearly 20% seriously contemplating suicide and mental health disorders are not limited to our teens. Over 17% of children aged 2 through 8 have had a diagnosis of a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder. Are mental health disorders in our youth increasing? How might depression present in a child or adolescent? How common is suicide in our youth and how often are suicide attempts successful? I’ll be asking these questions and more to my guest in today’s podcast on “Pediatric Mental Health Disorders” as part of our “Back to School” podcast series. My guest is child psychologist Joselyn R. Lebow, Ph.D., L.P., from the Mayo Clinic.

In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights podcast, Dr. Kenneth Monaghan shares his extensive experience as a physical therapist specializing in stroke recovery. He discusses the significance of neuroplasticity and home-based recovery, emphasizing the need for caregivers to feel empowered and informed. "The starting point for recovery is very much about changing people's beliefs," he says, highlighting the importance of mindset and motivation in recovery, suggesting that changing beliefs can significantly impact outcomes. Dr. Monaghan has over 32 years of experience in physical therapy, with the last decade including post-doctoral research on this topic. His answer to Rosa's "Billion Dollar Question" also proposes strategic uses for funding to improve health and wellness, particularly through encouraging regular exercise and caregiver support. Key takeaways: He emphasizes the importance of home-based recovery for stroke patients. Neuroplasticity can occur at any time, not just within the first six months post-stroke. Caregivers often feel confused and regretful about their loved ones' recovery. The book includes QR codes linking to videos for better understanding. Mindset plays a crucial role in recovery; positive beliefs can enhance healing. Regular walking can significantly improve health outcomes for all adults. Men often need more motivation to adhere to health and exercise regimens than women. Acknowledgment and encouragement can greatly enhance a stroke survivor's motivation. Creating a daily task list can provide a sense of achievement and motivation.

With the election just days away, Larry Levitt joins me to discuss where Harris and Trump stand on key health issues: reproductive health, affordability and Medicaid. While health has not taken center stage (as  it has in the past), the outcome of this election will have profound impacts on every aspect of health in the years ahead. We discuss:What's at stake in the electionWhy medical debt and drug prices are key affordability issues to watchThat single issue abortion voters are now Democrats, not RepublicansWhether we could see bipartisan progress on AI governance, long term care or PBM reform over the next four yearsLarry reminds us that health IS an economic issue:“People think of the economy and health care being separate issues, but they're In fact, not separate issues at all. I mean, we spend an enormous amount on health care. A lot of people's household budgets go to health care.

Can the attention economy be harnessed to serve health? Paradoxical as it may seem, this is the thesis of Tryggvi Thorgeirsson and his team at Sidekick Health. As a medical doctor trained in Iceland in the 2000s, Tryggvi experienced rural medicine firsthand and what working as a general practitioner in a remote setting means. And he quickly found himself confronted with the limitations posed by the healthcare system at the time: Prescribing medications at the expense of other therapies where patients are guided toward healthier behaviors. The silos and impossibility of establishing a care plan that simultaneously takes into account multiple conditions. A purely reactive approach based on a brick-and-mortar model running out of steam. The emergence of smartphones and their potential as health companions became obvious to him. Based on this intuition, he co-founded Sidekick Health alongside his fellow physician and colleague Saemundur Oddsson. The company is now one of the leaders in digital therapeutics, offering a vast portfolio of therapies accessible from each patient's pocket, prescribed by thousands of doctors in Europe and the US. We talk with Tryggvi about the principles behind how these digital therapies work, how attention levers can be used to support long-term behavior change, and the growing impact these solutions have on individuals and healthcare systems. In the era of social media and the mental plague they represent, this episode brings a refreshing perspective on how dopamine can be used to put the health of individuals back in their own hands. Timeline: 02:35 - Tryggvi’s background as a medical doctor and electrical engineer 04:05 - What felt missing in Tryggvi’s rural medical practice 07:14 - Seeing early the potential of smartphones for healthcare 11:08 - Tryggvi’s definition of digital therapeutics 13:44 - The impact of digital therapeutics on clinical outcomes and cost of care 16:44 - Driving behavioral change and medical education through timely bite-sized pieces and gamification 18:40 - Sidekick Health’s approach to designing tailored and impactful digital health programs across multiple conditions 27:46 - Putting AI at the center of digital health programs and their usage 30:13 - Tryggvi’s vision for the future of healthcare What we also talked about with Tryggvi: PINK!
