David Harlow on HIMSStv: Digital Health & the Need to Humanize Healthcare

March 11, 2019

In a brief appearance on the in-house HIMSStv programming during the HIMSS 2019 conference, I emphasized the importance of finding the right balance between digital tools and human interaction. We’ve spent a number of years chasing the ideal of digital and the scalability of digital and moving away from the human touch. We are now learning that it is absolutely necessary to humanize healthcare, to infuse solutions with empathy and to work hard to find the right blend of digital tech and humanity. Many of my clients, and many other leading healthcare innovators, are working to find that perfect balance.
