Abstract:
The digital age is beginning to impact the healthcare system. Smartphones and other devices based on cellular technology have made access to information ubiquitous among consumers throughout the world. There has been a shift from devices that collect data to systems for those medical conditions, such as atrial fibrillation. This changes the focus from health literacy to digital health literacy and the information-communication between the healthcare professional and the individual. Moving from health literacy to digital health literacy, therefore also means shifting from patients to persons and from managing health to empowering people to live a healthier life. Digital solutions will uncover an even greater tool, the engaged patient.
