For the 125th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we are joined by special guest host, Brittany Quemby, Editor at Healthcare IT Today, to discuss women’s health IT! We begin our deep dive into this topic with telemedicine and other digital health apps. We discuss how these tools can be used to empower women in managing their own health and well-being as well as looking at what challenges these tools face in doing so. We then look at IT solutions, in general, to see how they can be tailored to what women need and make their experiences in healthcare better. Next, we narrow our discussion down to how data analytics and IT tools can be utilized to find and mitigate disparities in women’s health. Lastly, we tackle the difficult discussion of what health IT companies and healthcare providers can and should be doing to collaborate and address the inequality of healthcare for women.
Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:
- How can technologies like telemedicine and digital health apps empower women to manage their own health and well-being? What challenges or disparities should we be mindful of when implementing such solutions?
- How can IT solutions be tailored to address these specific women’s health needs (pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause), and what role can they play in optimizing women’s healthcare experiences?
- How can data analytics and IT tools help identify and mitigate disparities in women’s health, ultimately promoting more equitable access to quality care?
- How can health IT companies and healthcare providers collaborate to develop solutions that improve the overall quality of women’s healthcare and that address the unique health challenges that women face that may not always receive the same level of attention as more generic healthcare issues?
Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.
