UoH TECH END USER DRIVEN IN HEALTHCARE











 In Healthcare, where every decision impact lives, it’s critical to ensure tools we create are truly serving the people who use them- patients, providers and staff-alike.

Why is end-user driven technology critical in healthcare?

• Traditional healthcare tools were developed in silos.

• Now, tools are co-designed with patients, clinicians, and administrators.


EVOLUTION OF HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY 

• Early Stages: Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) for basic documentation.

• Advancements: AI, IoT, and telemedicine revolutionizing healthcare.

• Current State: User-centric designs addressing specific needs.





Principles of a User-Driven Ecosystem

1. User-Centric Design: Tools that integrate seamlessly into workflows.

2. Iterative Development: Refining tools through constant user feedback.

3. Data Accessibility: Clear, actionable data for better decision-making.

4. Interoperability: Connecting devices, apps, and records efficiently.


Role of Technology for Key Users

• Patients: Wearables and mobile apps for proactive health management.

• Clinicians: AI tools assisting diagnostics and streamlining data.

• Administrators: Predictive analytics for resource planning and efficiency.



Challenges in Building User-Driven Ecosystems

1. Resistance to Change: Training and support are crucial for adoption.

2. 

3. Data Privacy Concerns: 

4. Technology Fatigue: 



Future Trends in Healthcare Technology

1. Personalized Healthcare: AI and genomics driving tailored treatments.

2. Smart Hospitals: IoT-enabled systems optimizing care delivery.

3. Voice Technology: Hands-free tools improving efficiency.

4. Blockchain: Secure data sharing among stakeholders.

30M WEIGHTLOSS

  A 30-year-old male presented with a history of progressive weight loss over the past year. Symptoms commenced in November 2022 with severe abdominal pain and vomiting, initially attributed to roadside food consumption. Recurrent monthly episodes of abdominal pain, bloating, and vomiting/loose stools persisted until April. Diagnostic workup, including abdominal scan, CBP, ESR, CRP, TTG antibody, LFT, RFT, sputum for AFB, chest X-ray, Quantiferon Gold for TB, and Montoux test, yielded normal results except for elevated CRP. Ayurvedic treatment resulted in symptom improvement, but weight loss persisted. From November 2022 to April 2023, he lost 10 kgs and maintained stability at 48 kgs thereafter. CRP levels correlated with symptom exacerbations, decreasing post-treatment. Presently, he experiences diminished appetite, eating only twice daily, despite previously consuming 4-5 meals.
