Chronic conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, and cancer, require ongoing, comprehensive care to ensure that patients respond to treatment as predicted and that their conditions remain under control. Increasingly, health systems are turning to remote patient monitoring to track chronic disease patient outcomes, adjust treatment plans, and provide ongoing patient education.  

Johns Hopkins Medicine is one such health system. Its RPM program employs an array of devices, including blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, scales, and glucose monitors, as well as telehealth tools, to manage chronic conditions in the patient's own home. These devices monitor vital signs and symptoms remotely and virtually connect patients with care teams if needed.  

In this presentation, Rebecca Canino, executive director of Johns Hopkins Medicine's office of telemedicine, will discuss how the organization uses RPM to manage chronic conditions, including how the program has evolved to include newer conditions like pediatric asthma, its uses in research, the barriers to implementation, and other key considerations when establishing a new RPM program.

Preventing illness and early detection is key to the future of healthcare, but can wearable health technologies provide the solution?

Across the world, we are seeing an acceleration of chronic diseases coupled with ageing societies that have longer life-expectancies with more co-morbidities. Consequently, there is a drive for health innovations that help us prevent or diagnosis illness sooner. Wearable technology from smart devices such as watches, etc. have been around for over a decade, but in the past year, they have been the focus both by big tech and the healthcare sector.

Join the UCL Global Business School for Health for our webinar on the subject of the Wearable Technology and the future of Healthcare. This event is the second in our series of 'Reimagining Health and Business for a Healthier Society' webinars that will run across the 2021/2022 academic year. All our webinars in this series are free and we welcome all those interested in the subject to join.

Around 40% of Australians now live with chronic health conditions and half of all hospital admissions are related to chronic health conditions. There is a need for significant and lasting change in the way chronic disease is seen, treated and managed in Australia.

This event is a critical platform for national discussion, thought leadership, a showcase of best practice and networking to help drive real change across the country.

In March 2021, the Productivity Commission released a report on innovations in care for chronic health conditions. The report laid out best practice initiatives to offer practical insights on driving change to promote people’s wellbeing, increase the efficiency of the healthcare system and reduce hospital use.

The Chronic Disease Management Conference, which will take place on the 4-5 November at the Swissôtel Sydney, aims to support the work of the Commission with an in-person conference to gather the nation’s leaders and experts from service providers and policy making bodies.
