It demonstrates how patients can receive better tailored diagnostics and treatment by monitoring of selected physiological parameters of patients such as blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, weight and others, transferring them to cloud based platform for correlating with data drawn from other sources and unleashing the power of data mining algorithms. The report includes examples of innovations enabled by healthcare platform delivered by DIFMED LTD that offers tracking of patients’ health conditions. The smart-phone technology and remote monitoring devices were used to enable physicians to proactively act before the health conditions of patients significantly deteriorated or became critical. The presented user stories proved the potential of digital technologies to propel transformation towards a preventive, proactive and personalized medicine. This kind of healthcare will soon target the needs and expectations of digital and network native patients’ generation.
