Technology offers innovative solutions to enhance patient engagement:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs facilitate seamless communication and information sharing between patients and healthcare providers. Patients can access their health information, track progress, and communicate with their care team.
2. Telehealth: Telehealth services enable remote consultations, reducing barriers to access and providing convenience for patients. Virtual visits can enhance engagement, especially for those with mobility issues or living in remote areas.
3. Mobile Health Apps: Health apps can support self-management by providing reminders, tracking health metrics, and offering educational resources. Patients can monitor their progress and receive personalized feedback.
4. Patient Portals: Patient portals offer a secure platform for patients to access their health records, schedule appointments, and communicate with healthcare providers. These portals promote transparency and active involvement in care.
