BC Chapter Virtual LinkUp: Harmonizing Digital Health Delivery

Harmonizing Digital Health Delivery

There should be a balance of in-person and digital health care delivery with digital health acting as a compliment to, not a replacement of, in-person care.  Join us at the next BC Chapter Virtual LinkUp to discuss the following topics:

1. What are the main challenges to equity in the delivery of care through digital health? How can digital health tools be designed and regulated to address these challenges?
   
2. Are there concerns around new subscription-based digital health services? What risks could these pose to health care equity? How can these challenges be addressed?
   
3. How can digital health tools be designed and regulated to maintain a balance and ensure that patient preference, practical considerations, and clinical need are taken into account?
