As a patient transitions from hospital to home, leaving the safety net of doctors and nurses may seem daunting. For patients, half of the struggle of coming home is forming new, healthy habits; habits that help them manage their lives post hospital discharge. Whether this means remembering to take their medicine or eating healthy or regularly checking their weight, developing new habits and forming a new routine is essential to reducing a patient's risk of readmission.

Despite the convenience of telemedicine, this technology raises enormous potential security concerns. If the virtual connection between a doctor and the patient is unsecure, it is possible that patients’ location, data and other sensitive information could be leaked. “The privacy risks associated with telemedicine mostly stem from the lack of security controls over the collection, use and sharing of data,” said Blaise Wabo, associate director of A-LIGN, a cybersecurity technolo

You are increasingly likely to have a wearable -- around your neck or on your wrist. You may collect your own data for your own tracking and use. For those who see a wearable in a health context, they may be disappointed to know that their doctor doesn’t seem to care or know what to do with your heart rhythm data. But you can gain great benefit from tracking your performance (exercise, heart rate) – competing with yourself, and feeling the satisfaction from any improvement over time.
