There’s nothing quite satisfying like an appropriately conceptualized adage. We’ve all heard a phrase that left us questioning the moral fortitude of the individual who brought it into existence. For example, to describe that someone recently kicked the bucket seems, at first utterance, to be completely scattershot and without much sense.
After further analysis and four years at a degree-gaining institution, I can inform you that the phrase has very dark and twisted origins that aptly connect to its modern day use. Perhaps one of the more relevant idioms of our time is that which refers to the level of difficulty when trying to teach an “old dog” a new trick. Simply put, when an individual is set in their ways, it is significantly more challenging to change their mind.
Bob Dylan put it nicely when he sang that the times are changing, but the issue at hand is not so much that our society faces new obstacles and challenges each day, but more so that there are some among us who refuse to learn new tricks. Over the last several generations, the state of our global healthcare framework has slowly become impacted by the dramatic increase in population. According to recent statistics, the current world population of 7.6 billion is expected to reach 8.6 billion over the next ten years, and in tandem with that growth will be the exponential depletion of resources, specifically those connected to healthcare.
Multi-Trillion Dollar Industry Providing Massive Opportunity in 2019 & Beyond
No matter where one lives in the world, the first point of contact for every person who feels ill is a visit to their primary health care center. In the U.S., millions of Americans visit their primary care physicians each year to undergo regulatory screenings and checkups, but in more impoverished countries, the number of people in need of care typically outweighs the bandwidth physicians in the area.
Companies in the healthcare sector have engineered advanced technological solutions to increase access to primary care physicians for individuals residing in locations with diminished access. This has recently taken the form of virtual care via telemedical technologies.
Healthcare providers recognized the prevalent need for improving how patients receive primary care, and amidst these realizations, these companies developed nuanced telemedical approaches to ensure that patients are being taken care of.
Teladoc Health, one of the leading telemedicine providers, created an online platform that allows users to virtually visit a healthcare professional without the need of traveling to doctor’s office. More companies are pushing for patients to take advantage of virtual care offerings because, often times, they are significantly cheaper than spending money on a co-pay or having to contribute towards a deductible.
According to a study by Mass General, when patients elect to visit a doctor through the use of telemedical technologies, 95% of the time spent on the “call” is face-to-face with the doctor, compared to less than 20% during a traditional visit.
Premier Health Group Inc. (OTC: PHGRF) / (CSE: PHGI) / (6PH.F) is a Canadian publicly traded company focused on developing innovative approaches that combine human skill based expertise with emerging technologies for the healthcare industry. The Company has worked tirelessly over the past several months to build an integrated patient platform to use in conjunction with its virtual healthcare application.
Through the use of Premier’s HealthVue app, the patient will have the ability to see their physician, access their charts & lab results, chat securely with clinical staff, reorder prescriptions and share remote health monitoring data with their doctor – all at their fingertips.
In addition these advanced healthcare solutions, the Company shared, in their most recent corporate update, that they plan on utilizing artificial intelligence to assist in virtually triaging the needs of their patients. Using the app, the patient will answer a series of questions which will be relayed to the physician, along with a differential on possible diagnoses. This information will be pre-populated to the physicians charting system and will provide key patient information prior to the scheduled virtual visit, saving them a considerable amount of time and allowing more time for patient interaction.
