Digital Health Interventions (DHI) are driven by a
current device-centered regulatory paradigm. The pandemic accelerated the demand for digital innovation – along with inadequate policies to scale DHIs for social value. The transfer of value and sustainability in the current innovation ecosystem continues to be compromised, and calls for wide reform, nimble regulation, and sustained innovation to address innovator and data value predicaments.
In this article, authors propose a digital innovation acceleration superstructure that connects DHIs across the care continuum that is comprised of standards that enable telehealth-based governance and regulatory policies that can (a) enable data resource innovation, (b) address the pressing
governance and transparency issues inhibiting DHIs from expanding into the space of community-health and public health, (c) lend structure to real-world data for trusted evidence, (d) provide a new pathway to radically different structures in delivery models, (e) reduce healthcare worker’s workload, f)
improve outreach, engagement, and prevention at scale, all while (g) collecting structured data.
Resource utilization can help healthcare payors and executives plan how to utilize resources more effectively for productivity if they are developed directly and cooperatively in partnership with end users – patients and frontline clinicians.
Solving problems
will require a focus on three elements:
1. Improving the integration and access to high-quality data from traditional clinical trials, electronic health records, personal devices, and wearable sensors
2. Restructuring clinical research operations to support and incentivize the involvement of patients and frontline clinicians
3. Articulating ethical constructs that enable responsible data sharing to support improved implementation
Appropriate standards must aim to support the integration of DHIs into a patient-centric continuum to provide connectivity and interoperability between DHIs, and enable the seamless transition of activity from one telehealth service to another.
