Students’ perspective to Mobile Health

Jorge Batista | EPSA Vice President of Education

Page 16: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014

Mobile Health

• Support for Health outcomes, services and research through mobile devices (mobile phones, tablets).

• Usage of mobile devices when providing medicines information, collecting health data and delivering healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients.

Page 17: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014

Introduction

• Potential to reduce the healthcare costs. • Improvement of healthcare outcomes. • Empowerment of patient to take greater

control in their own health.• Factors to take into account: Quality and

safety of apps, privacy concerns – patient confidentiality data, Regulation?

Page 18: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014

Students’ Perspective

• Benefits to patients, healthcare professionals and healthcare students

• Patients - access medical information in real time increase therapy compliance

• Accuracy of information in apps, user-friendliness.

• Quality information, training and follow up with users.

Page 19: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014

Patients

• Privacy issues – patient data confidentiality

• Harmonization of opinions between healthcare professionals and inter-professional collaboration – further development of mobile health strategy

Page 20: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014

Healthcare Professionals

• Mobile health should evolve towards a personalised healthcare approach (e.g. chronic patients monitoring, patients with hindered access to (specialised) care)

• Relation between patients and healthcare professionals – risk of becoming impersonal and decrease efficiency?

• mHealth apps enforces patient independency and knowledge – gap/bridge between the two parties?

Page 21: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014

Students

• Helping tools throughout education process (e.g. Exams study, integrated practice in the degree, quick access to reliable medical information).

Page 23: EPSA Activities review Tiia Metiäinen |EPSA President Annual Reception  11th February 2014
