The origins of that three-word objective probably came out of Hippocrates’ Corpus , which included a few additional words: “to do good or to do no harm.”. The proliferation and evolution of digital technologies in health care have the potential to do good or harm, depending on their application.

I was asked recently by a clinical colleague what an API is, and why it’s important. Let’s start with the technical answer. ‘API’ stands for ‘ Application Programming Interface ’ – it’s a way that one application (or a component of an application) exposes its services (which could be just data, or some operation against data) in a way that allows another application (often called the client) to use it.

If you’re a healthcare provider, chances are you have experienced symptoms of burnout yourself or have colleagues who are currently facing extreme career dissatisfaction.

By engaging with patients to understand their needs and preferences, healthcare providers can develop treatments tailored to the individual patient.
