Encourage Innovative Digital Healthcare Research at the Point of Care

The grant, "Encourage Innovative Digital Healthcare Research at the Point of Care," is designed to advance knowledge and understanding of digital healthcare and its implementation in contemporary healthcare settings. This could include either a clinic or a home environment. The aim is to provide funding for research that investigates the effective, efficient, and safe use of emerging digital technologies in healthcare.

As the digital healthcare ecosystem continues to grow and adapt, there is a pressing need to understand how modern innovations can be successfully integrated into routine care. This research should focus on the improvement of care and health outcomes without escalating costs or placing additional burdens on healthcare providers.

This includes researching the use of novel digital healthcare solutions such as artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, invisibles, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, FHIR/SMART, and other related tools. The goal is to generate new insights and improve current methodologies at the point of care through these digital solutions.

The potential outcome of this research could revolutionize healthcare. It not only stands to change the way clinicians deliver services but also how patients and their caregivers interact with the clinical team during the treatment process. The overarching objective is to harness the power of digital innovation to ultimately support the transformation of the healthcare system to a more patient-centered and effective model.
