DIGITAL INNOVATIONS IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE TO SUPPORT THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
Abstract
Abstract Body
Background: in the last decade, and especially in the last year, the use of digital technology has become widespread in all parts of the world with a great potential to increase access and quality to health. However, digitalization and technology are prone to stimulate inequality in various sectors, including health care, due to lack of information and ways to participate often for the most vulnerable group. Both trends of digitalisation of health care and inequality of care have been further increased due to the current epidemic of COVID.
Aim and learning objectives: in the workshop we will share and evaluate successful digital innovations in health care in various settings and explore how this has affected the most vulnerable in the population. We would like to understand the successes and barriers to reaching the most deprived in society in digital health initiatives.
Methods and timetable: members of the WONCA Working Group on E-Health will share their experiences of digital innovations within their practice or region. Several examples will be given through a 10 minute presentation. Afterwards a group discussion will take place when ideas and insights will be exchanged.
(Proposed) Results / Conclusions: To gather insights and advices for the design and implementation of digital innovations in primary care in order that the most vulnerable of the population benefit as well.
