Digital Health Solutions in Medicine (D.E.M.O.) Project
In our research, we are looking for answers to how doctors and patients use digital health tools, what the advantages and disadvantages of introducing and applying these technologies are, and how it all transforms the doctor-patient relationship. We examine the conditions required from the patient and provider side for the successful implementation of digital health solutions. We review digital health policy in an international context and see what could be adapted in the domestic conditions. By analyzing the communication in online patient groups, not only beliefs but also actions can be described. The results of our studies in this complex analytical framework can serve as a good starting point for the planning of medical training and in-service training, as well as for the development and implementation of the concept of digital transformation in certain areas of healthcare.
The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the development, use, and diffusion of digital healthcare solutions at an incredible rate. One of our research objectives is to investigate the effects / transformative role of the coronavirus epidemic on the digitization of health care.
