Journal of Medical Internet Research | Importance of Including Patients in Designing Care

JMIR Publications published “Patient Design: The Importance of Including Patients in Designing Health Care” in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, which reported that patient design, instead of patient centricity, should lead healthcare leaders in designing products, facilities or technologies for patients. Importantly, the paper is co-authored by a physician and a patient. Dr Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD, Director of The Medical Futurist Institute, and “e-Patient Dave” deBronkart, a leading voice in the global e-patient community shared real-life examples in their paper to emphasize the importance of patient design. Authors argue that healthcare in the 21st century has been going through a paradigm shift, asRead More →

Smoking, diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol are contributing factors. Claudication, the cramping pain patients experience in their extremities, affects their quality of life. “It’s really poor leg circulation,” says Tracie Collins, MD, MPH, dean of The University of New Mexico (UNM) College of Population Health. “It compromises your ability to walk.” Medications can help alleviate the symptoms, but taking regular walks is the most effective wayRead More →
