Advancements in health technology improving patient lives and outcomes in the real world
Becky Sarson
Twist Health, United Kingdom
T
he democratization of data and technology has led to
health technology advancing at an unprecedented rate.
From the new iWatch being able to diagnose atrial fibrillation
(with FDA approval) and track a fall; alerting that person’s
wider care team, to artificial intelligence being more accurate
than a doctor in diagnosing skin cancer. The accessibility of
new technology has opened the public up to understanding
and embracing alternative approaches to their health/disease
awareness and care, as well as giving HCPs a new tool in which
to treat their patients. But what does this mean for everyday
diabetic patients, and what are the possibilities for embracing
technology in to the wider diabetic patient’s ecosystem?
Becky Sarson has over 12 years experience working to
develop innovative health solutions to support patients and
their HCPs with diagnosis, treatment, outpatient care and
interventional support. These include technologies that have
the potential to predict when an asthmatic may be at risk of
an attack, mindfulness modules and CBT programmers for
relapsing oncology patients and supporting pulmonary arterial
hypertension patients to communicate and share data with
their HCP on a more regular basis, revolutionizing outpatient
care for PAH patients. Her work has been globally recognized,
winning multiple awards for innovation, design and application
to healthcare.
