About Digital Health 360°
Our Vision
We seek to create a world of digital health enlightenment for better health outcomes for all, and foster a well-rounded understanding of digital health and its impact on our present 4th industrial revolution.
Our Digital Health Mission
We seek to change our current direction in digital health, where digital health tools are considered for their true value and not just their perceived worth. You can think of us as “digital health hype police,” helping to differentiate digital health value from “snake oil.” We provide critical digital health insights grounded in health equity to achieve individual and population health through the use of validated digital tools.
Our Vision
To create a world of digital health enlightenment for a better, all-inclusive health outcome for all. Furthermore, a well-rounded understanding of digital health and its impact in our present 4th industrial revolution will steer us away from repeating the self-inflicted injury to humanity perpetrated in the past innovation eras.
Our Digital Health Mission
We seek the desired state where digital health tools are considered for the actual value and not just the perceived unquantifiable worth. In essence, you can think of us as anti “digital health hype police,” helping to differentiate digital health value from “snake oil” grounded in the hype. We hope our mission of providing digital health insight grounded in reality, health equity, and the environment will ferry us to the promised land of individual and population health value.
How Will We Achieve Our Vision and Mission?
Our perspective on digital health and its ecosystem is always above conventional understanding put forward by contemporary experts. Most digital health curricula are outdated and lack the essential components necessary for a holistic understanding of the impact of new tools, resulting in overpromising, underachievement, and miseducation of future digital health leaders.
We hope to improve this undesirable state of digital health understanding. Every article published on our platform will analyze digital health tools, emphasizing the seven pillars of digital health 360°. These pillars provide a holistic view based on the actual value added by a health tool by quantifying the value of particular innovations. Digital health’s impact on health equity, the digital divide, and its environmental impact are the cornerstone of our digital health 360° pillars.
The other components of the seven pillars include analysis of innovation based on the quadruple aim of healthcare quality/patient safety, as well as the ease of adoption of inventions, the framework for implementation based on the user’s journey mapping, and workflow optimization in the lean-six sigma paradigm.
