As even organizations like the WHO have been mixing up health IT and digital health, I published an editorial in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Research and introduced the Gary rule to clear up this misconception. If a technological issue comes up in a healthcare setting such as the anti-virus software becomes outdated and we have to call Gary, the IT guy, as he is alone capable of solving it what-ever methods he uses, it’s an IT issue. If Gary is not enough to solve the issue because more stakeholders of healthcare must get involved, (e.g. letting patients bring the data of their trackers into the practice and merging that with electronic medical records), it’s digital health. http://bit.ly/2CEg4UN #ai #technology #health #healthIT #digitalhealth #research …see more
