More information:
We now have numerous personal devices which can record our fitness and wellbeing from our heartbeat to our sleep patterns. As a result of this technology, we can take more control over our own health management. But should this information stored on our devices be part of our health record?
To explore this, ADAPT & Smart D8 invite the public to join the conversation on: ‘What is my health information?’
The topic will be introduced by Orla Gogarty, Director of Digital Health, Transformation and Partnerships at St Patricks Mental Health Services (SPMHS). Orla's talk will explore:
- What does Health Information look like in the 21st Century and why is it important to us as citizens?
- How can digital technologies empower us to manage our health and reorient our health services to be more inclusive, people-centred and efficient?
During the event, you will be asked to consider questions like:
Have you ever considered which information in your health record belongs to you?
Should data collected on smart devices such as phone apps and wearable technologies, be part of my health information?
