Digital Health 2023: How Disruptive Technologies Are Redefining Otolaryngology Practice (2023 AMW)
2023 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
Digital Health - in its many forms - is expanding and transforming otolaryngology care. As tools for digital health evolve and achieve greater penetration, clinicians and patients are poised to embrace these technological advances. As digital innovation accelerates within and adjacent to health care, questions have arisen about what evidence supports these tools, what their appropriate role is in patient care, and how best to integrate them into otolaryngology practice. Speakers will discuss emerging technologies in digital health and curate the evidence (or lack thereof) to support their use. Topics will include artificial intelligence/ machine learning, smartphone-based technology, wearables, telehealth/remote health technology, Internet of Things (IoT), digital biomarkers, and virtual reality/augmented reality. Integrated into this interactive discussion are considerations for health equity and social determinants of health, the bi-directional impact of COVID-19, the digital divide, and machine bias. The panel will also explore how immersive technology can accelerate skill acquisition for surgeons, advanced practice providers, and other team members. The panelists are experts who work at the intersections of digital health, evidence-based medicine, medical innovation, and healthcare entrepreneurship. Regardless of whether you are steeped in digital health technologies or just getting started, this panel will entertain, engage, and inspire.
