<br />
The Philippine population is currently at 104 million. The population is said to be approaching its “Demographic Sweetspot” and that means the significant bulk is of the most productive age from 15 – 55 years old. That segment is also represented by the Millennials who comprise the majority of the demographic segment.<br />
<br />
One of the most basic needs is healthcare.<br />
<br />
Given the dynamics of social and cultural shifts, how will healthcare be made accessible to most of those who need it I that segment and for the Philippine population as a whole? It is acknowledged that current rules and regulations have been institutionalized way before these dynamics have occurred and that also goes for Healthcare Marketing and all its restrictions.<br />
<br />
The VITAL Healthcare Marketing Conference of 2018 aims to address this situation by developing an innovation mindset among all the stakeholders in this industry sector.<br />
<br />
This will entail advanced marketing and distribution systems together with platforms that are now emerging to meet these demands during fast-changing times. Integration with technology with patients, members, and providers of the healthcare community is now required.<br />
<br />
The VITAL Healthcare Marketing Conference 2018 aims to help companies and brands explore new models for innovation that will result in sustainable growth for the industry.<br />
<br />
The conference will include leading companies in the healthcare industry that will discuss the evolving the patients and healthcare providers partnerships. The focus will be on creating meaningful connections between brands and patients/consumers via marketing communications, access due to distribution plans, also, opportunities with data technology that will assist in the designing new consumer solutions for healthcare. <br />
<br />
The VITAL Healthcare Marketing Conference 2018 will be held on March 2018 at the Fairmont Hotel, Makati City. The conference will be from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.<br />
<br />
The conference is organized by Fiera de Manila, Inc. and sponsored by Havas Life, a fully integrated, global health communications group.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Various academe, government and industry leaders pledged their commitment to support the goal of Bacolod and Negros Occidental in creating at least 5,000 jobs in the healthcare information management (HIM) sector by 2022.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 2014, the Bacolod-Negros Occidental Federation for Information and Communications Technology (BNEFIT) has set the goal to achieve at least 60,000 jobs in the ICT industry by 2022, including HIM jobs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The 1st Bacolod Healthcare Information Management (HIM) Conference held last August 17 and 18, 2017  at SMX Convention Center – Bacolod successfully gathered local stakeholders to scale up the potential of the countryside in attracting HIM jobs, opportunities and investments, and bring everyone on the same page in the area of HIM education and training. The first day saw more than 300 students while the second day gathered leaders and executives from colleges universities and training institutions, medical and healthcare and IT companies, national and local government executives, real estate developers and other private-sector stakeholders. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Maraňon, Jr. in his speech said the province is “at the threshold of a new beginning to expand and conquer another industry – the healthcare information management.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbWjWFcedVZLQV6WH8OlnFeT4ObWsUXA4PD8KWWiYqPR1IztkGlTDa6KxsIvKlbzN49mybcY84J7vJ6OCguF57kZHBEZwnzvtEeRgK1dbFujpK9nlo461qqO1f4kvozyt99J5NMtCs8Gf/s1600/BHIM3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbWjWFcedVZLQV6WH8OlnFeT4ObWsUXA4PD8KWWiYqPR1IztkGlTDa6KxsIvKlbzN49mybcY84J7vJ6OCguF57kZHBEZwnzvtEeRgK1dbFujpK9nlo461qqO1f4kvozyt99J5NMtCs8Gf/s400/BHIM3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our joint target with BNEFIT for Bacolod and Negros Occidental is to successfully expand to three areas - software development, a creative process like game development and animation and in healthcare information management, Maraňon said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">BNEFIT Executive Director Jocelle Batapa-Sigue said of this target, 5,000 are targeted to be from the HIM sector which covers the whole spectrum of health services that require voice, non-voice, data analytics and information management such as medical coding and billing, and medical transcription, among others. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Healthcare Information Management of the Philippines (HIMAP) Director Raymond Ang said the healthcare BPO market is projected to reach US$ 276.79 Billion by 2021 from US$170.47 Billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period from 2016 to 2021. In the Philippines, as of 2016, there are 118,000 workers in HIM and we the projected annual growth rate of 10 percent, the industry forecast is 210,000 jobs by 2022, Ang in his presentation said.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Judilyn Caňete, president of MedStar Philippines Healthcare Information Management, a New York based company which recently expanded to Bacolod encouraged the HIM conference delegates to concentrate on training and certifying the local workforce for medical coding and billing. She said her company is open to partnerships with schools on how to create scholarships for trainees in coding and billing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After his Manila site, Butch Valenzuela, president of Visaya KPO, is eyeing Bacolod as an expansion site for health-related voice BPO jobs. Valenzuela said the local stakeholders must develop its talent supply to address the requirements of the HIM industry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Undersecretary Monchito Ibrahim, in his keynote address, commended BNEFIT and the local stakeholders for anticipating and preparing for the growth of the HIM industry. He said stressed there is a need to change mindset especially in the minds of young people about how the business process outsourcing industry is moving towards high skilled jobs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The two-day event was organized by BNEFIT to explore potential synergies in creating innovative platforms for delivering global HIM services, discover the magic of HIM education to create jobs and investments for countryside development and create a conducive ecosystem for HIM jobs and investments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The roster of resources speakers includes Ibrahim, Caňete, Valenzuela, Ang, Sammy De Leon, president of SSP Virtual Assistants in Davao,  Zeno Martinez, publisher of TechBlade.PH, Jay Errol Aray, site director of Hinduja Global Solutions in Iloilo, Emmy Lou Versoza – Delfin, Director for Innovation of the DICT, Kristelle Lynne Ong, president of Philippine Call Center Institute, Vida Candida Arciaga,  Vice President for Human Resources of  XL Service Philippines, Diego Jose Ramos, President of Medical Tourism PH, Merle Salvani, Region 6 Governor of Philippine Nurses Association (PNA), Leif Brian Margallo,  Founder and CEO of Virtual Workforce Professionals, Inc., Levi Trio and Anthony Visitacion of Teleperformance and Dorothy Londres.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Robots are now being utilized in surgical operations in the Philippines. This has been the case since 2010. Robots first appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s but for space exploration and industrial assembly applications.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The precision attained by using robots have also made them ideal for medical surgical operations and procedures. It took some time for robotic technology to be utilized in medical surgical operations but advances in technology such as human-machine interface made possible by more powerful computers achieved such.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Traditional surgery entailed making incisions along the affected parts of the body and these can result to pain and longer recovery time for the patients. Also, there was no going around certain body organs since human hands can only achieve so much precision as well as limited sight by human surgeons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There came a time when long and disfiguring incisions were no longer needed with the advent of robot assisted laparoscopy. Laparoscopic surgery uses only small incisions that utilizes specialized long instruments and visual system that gives the current surgeon greater flexibility in making operations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Greater accuracy and precision were still needed since human hands can be precise to a limited extent. That is where robotics come in wherein the surgeon controls the robot and a three dimension video is provided and even up to 10 times magnification.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The surgeons movements are managed by the robot so as not to let involuntary muscle twitching affect the performance of extremely precise procedures and movements during operations and surgeries. Even millimeter sized blood vessels can now be seen and avoided with robot assisted operations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What is a critical part of robotic surgery is that the visuals can be enhanced to the specifications needed for the surgery. A three-dimensional magnified video is available so as to give an “inside view” that has never been available before. This enables the surgeon to precisely move and identify borders of the target organ for the procedure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This precise movements translate to less affected organs, less trauma, less bleeding, less pin and faster recovery time for the patients.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Medical City (TMC) first used robots in surgery in 2010. It is being utilized in complex procedures in the fields of urology, gynecology, thoracic, head, neck, oral surgery, colorectal surgery and other abdominal surgeries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">TMC has teams of highly trained surgeons and doctors in robot assisted surgery and they continue with updated trainings as they become available.</span></div>

Breaking News: An Automated Robotic Drill May Change The Way Craniotomies Are Performed

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What do a car and your skull have in common?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Probably just carbon and a few other elements. But soon, hospitals across the world may be using the same technology used to drill cars, to perform intricate cranial surgery.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The University of Utah tapped their Mechanical Engineering department to design exactly that: A drill for the skull that can cut into the cranium with such an unparalleled precision.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While the idea for the machine came from drills used in cars, the version custom-built to perform neurosurgeries was programmed to work with and around the sensitive structures in the brain. In the past, a neurosurgeon would have to slowly, painstakingly, drill at the skull bone with a hand drill <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480624/" target="_blank"><strong>specifically designed for cranial surgery</strong></a>. This machine, though, takes away the backbreaking work of bone-cutting from the neurosurgeon, allowing him to maintain his focus on the whole operation.  </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“It was like doing <b><i>archaeology</i></b>. We had to slowly take away the bone to avoid sensitive structures.” </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These were the words that Dr. William Couldwell, a neurosurgeon at the University of Utah Health, used to describe the procedure.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, hacking at bone is not the be-all and end-all of craniotomies. A craniotomy is but a means to an end: The neurosurgeon still has to get to the actual issue: A brain tumor, an abscess, even a tapeworm in the brain. With all the neurosurgeon’s energy sapped from bone-hacking, you bet that he’d have less focus and sharpness when he has to get into the actual issue. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lPU8k4bJYa0/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lPU8k4bJYa0?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But thanks to Dr. William Couldwell and the mechanical engineers at the University of Utah, soon, neurosurgeons can be freed to focus on the heart of their tasks: Whatever needs to be removed from the brain.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The machine even has a nifty function: It can cut away and remove large sections of bone. By contrast, the existing tools require gradual chipping, and at smaller points at a time.  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This comes as good news for neurosurgeons, indeed, as with this automated robotic drill, surgeon fatigue would be reduced in leaps and droves.  </span><br />

<br />
In our <b><a href="http://www.healthtech.ph/2017/03/smartphonesandhealth-dr-eric-j-topol.html">first edition of #SmartphonesAndHealth, we talked about Dr. Eric J. Topol</a></b> and how he pointed out that thanks to technology, patients are already in increasing control of their personal healthcare. We described how Dr. Topol presented anecdotes of patients finding relief for their conditions, through the use of tech. In today’s <b><a href="http://www.healthtech.ph/search/label/%23SmartphonesAndHealth">#SmartphonesAndHealth</a></b>, we give you three of those tools.  <br />
<br />
<b>Please remember that a conclusive diagnosis, especially the course of the treatment you may choose to take, still needs to be under the supervision of a trained and licensed medical professional, especially for chronic, acute, or terminal conditions. </b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b></b> <br />
<b>Diagnostics: WebMD [<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webmd.android">Android</a> | <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/webmd-trusted-health-and-wellness-information/id295076329?mt=8">iOS</a>]. </b>WebMD is possibly the most comprehensive website on health conditions and how they can be managed. This smartphone app is very handy for checking your symptoms on the go, as well as the therapy and management your doctor recommended. If you’re worried about a sudden onset of migraine and need to wait till morning to visit your GP, you could check your symptoms through this app. Please don’t go off and conclude that you have brain cancer, however.  <br />
<br />
<b>Visual Diagnostics: SkinVision [<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubytribe.skinvision.ac">Android</a> | <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/skinvision-melanoma-skin-cancer-detection-app/id545293136?mt=8">iOS</a>]. </b>This was one of the apps mentioned by Dr. Eric J. Topol in his book, <b>“</b><a href="http://amzn.to/2n1uWkt"><b>The Patient Will See You Now: The Future of Medicine Is in Your Hands</b></a><b>.” </b>If you’re prone to mole growths, or if a skin lesion is giving you cause for worry, this may prove handy for giving you the initial diagnosis.  <br />
<br />
<b></b> <br />
<b>Check Your Medications: Drugs.com [<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drugscom.app">Android</a> | <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/drugs-com-medication-guide/id599471042?mt=8">iOS</a>]. </b>While this is an excellent resource for checking the medications that your doctor prescribed, this app is not recommended for those who are addicted to self-medication. Always check with your GP or specialist about the meds you are taking, and please read the sections on contraindications and drug interactions. And as all medical professionals advise, please do not take alcohol with your meds. They increase the metabolism, absorption, and excretion of medications. For some medications, alcohol increases the blood concentration, while for others, it decreases it. Read more <b><a href="http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/alcohol-interactions-with-medications#1">from WebMD</a></b>.  <br />
<br />
While Dr. Topol lauds how patients are getting smarter and may be able to manage their health conditions in cooperation with their respective physicians, it is still encouraged, even urged, that we all stay responsible and informed with how we take care of our respective bodies. A healthy diet and lifestyle punctuated with exercise is a must, and please be cautioned against “herbal remedies.” While going all-natural may help your existing health condition, there is no guarantee that it could present a cure.  <br />
<br />
With the help of smartphones and the internet, though, the care of your health is now in your hands. Nearly literally. <br />
<br />
See you next week for another edition of <b><a href="http://www.healthtech.ph/search/label/%23SmartphonesAndHealth">#SmartphonesAndHealth</a></b>!

PH Radiologists gets boost from Pinoy Health Tech Startup

April 20, 2017 The Mail Man 0

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrK4QcX5gdm0xcIOzUBtquss_FZ4pqO-8DVE8hhW50jSbPTjWGC2hzo5-cqwsR0pkbseGuE8VHLCEE3izK9mTQ2t_OOHBDTwLhxYLecYzZ6WO6lhw3xq-qWHpDQyP701q0VnohQLbmP2Zg/s1600/lifesys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrK4QcX5gdm0xcIOzUBtquss_FZ4pqO-8DVE8hhW50jSbPTjWGC2hzo5-cqwsR0pkbseGuE8VHLCEE3izK9mTQ2t_OOHBDTwLhxYLecYzZ6WO6lhw3xq-qWHpDQyP701q0VnohQLbmP2Zg/s400/lifesys.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A Filipino health technology startup is about to make local radiologists be among the best worldwide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recognizing that the Philippines has a dearth of trained and professional radiologists, Lifetrack Medical Systems (LifeSys) radiology information systems, picture archiving and software will enable radiologists and/or a  team of radiologists to transmit scans and x-rays using cloud computing technology to other radiologists locally or abroad for analysis and evaluation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was disclosed by Dr. Eric Schulze, CEO of LifeSys.  The LifeSys system utilizes Data Analytics technology that will assist radiologists in making diagnosis from Big Data.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">LifeSys patented its RadNav system which is a radiologist guidance system using Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is capable of cloud computing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“When you’re doing radiology, there’s a lot of information that you have to remember,” Schulze pointed out. “So if we want to create radiologists who can leverage that knowledge base, then we make that available… It doesn’t matter if it’s a US or a Filipino radiologist.” Dr. Schulze disclosed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The report generation of the system although based in the country can even be better that most reports from the US because of the software engineering used to develop the system.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another reason why this can be a game changer in the Philippine radiological field is that the country has a large number of medical schools that has the potential of utilizing teleradiology and thus harnessing the optimum use for LifeSys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“There’s not enough doctors in the world, especially in emerging markets,” “It turns out the Philippines has more medical schools than any other country in the region per capita.” Added Dr. Schulze.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The English language proficiency of Filipino professionals is also a factor since English is the official language of Medicine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently, the Philippines is estimated to have only 1,500 radiologists to service its 104 million population. This is a little better than Indonesia with its 1,000 to 1,5000 radiologists.provide help to 100 million Filipinos, while in Indonesia, whose population of 250,000,000, there are only about 1,000 to 1,500 radiologists and fewer than 2,000 hospitals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">LifeSys recently partnered with Ayala Corp.’s FamilyDOC retail health clinics, Healthway Medical and other local institutions for use of the software.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HealthTech.PH continues to support the 3rd HealthXPh Healthcare and Social Media Summit this coming April 25, 2017 at the Marco Polo Hotel in Cebu City. During the 2nd HealthXPH Healthcare and Social Media Summit held last year, patients and caregivers were already included.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year’s summit will also make the patients and caregivers participate in formulating policies, guidelines and researches that will directly benefit these stakeholders in Philippine healthcare. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This enabled the patients and caregivers  be an integral part even before the summit itself in the design and planning of the conference, that includes selection of themes, topics and speakers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> In fact, one of the co-organizers is a dialysis patient, Dr. Narciso Tapia. Together with a community of patients such as DialysisPh and PsoriasisPh, they have endorsed topics and speakers for the summit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The experiences and of patients and caregivers will be presented and shared in the summit so as to draw from such a well of information in managing, treating and to point out areas for much needed research that will benefit these stakeholders. They will also be part of the pool of speakers that will impart real-life experiences with regards to such a debilitating and progressive illness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The organizers have ensured that these valuable resources be brought to the fore during thi summit since the information generated will be of great importance with regards to the outcome of the summit and even beyond it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The organizers have already paid for the travel and accommodations of the patients and caregivers that will participate, part of the pool of resource speakers and be delegates themselves in this event.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The summit is also designed in such a way that those patients that have disabilities can participate in all applicable sessions, ancillary meetings  and programs with their requirements for mobility and convenience in mind. This also covers dietary and food preferences for the patient/participants/delegates since wellness is also part of the event design. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The summit is also available in live streaming for free so as to accommodate the “virtual” participants and would be available in various social media platforms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The 3rd HealthXPh Healthcare and Social Media Summit’s theme for this year is “Social Media and Health Research: Connections that Matter”. Indeed, all avenues for connections have been explored and implemented for this year’s summit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HaelthTech.PH initially published the event last March 21, 2017.

Website Launched to Fight Malnutrition in PH

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">81% of Filipinos suffer from malnutrition in 1 form or another. It is not just that food is served by the nutritional quality of the food available is in question. The 81% is composed of the D, D and E socio-economic class of the Philippine population.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To give an idea boiled saba, rice porridge, and cornmeal was the dinner given to corporate executives, government officials, and representatives of various organizations  when the launch was made for the website of  United for Healthier Kids website at Green Sun in Makati last April 5, 2017.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The meal represented the daily meals of an estimated 7 million Filipino children. Such deficiencies in the nutritional requirements of Filipinos result in stunted growth, inability to learn properly, physical weakness and deficient brain development.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Senator Grace Poe recognized the crisis as already national in character and will affect the body politick of the nation from generations to come. It is scientifically and historically proven that nutrient deficiencies are carried over the generations as attested in studies of Irish women who are physically weaker than other women of other nationalities. This was caused by the Potato Famine in Ireland that happened  centuries ago and caused the migration of the Irish to the United States that was caused by the Potato Blight that ravaged potatoes in Ireland, potatoes being the staple of the Irish.  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For Senator Grace Poe, this growing national crisis continues to block Filipino children from achieving their full potential since they lack the nourishment and energy they need to stay active and do well in school. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"We must collectively work together to take care of our children and ensure that they are able to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them," Senator Poe said during her speech. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nestlé Philippines part of the world food conglomerate supports the initiative called the United for Healthier Kids program  together with other partners in the endeavor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“For the Philippines to combat malnutrition and achieve its full potential, we need to adopt a more systemic approach to reducing hunger and malnutrition. We need to bring together organizations with expertise in various subjects, from access to food, nutrition education, water, sanitation, and hygiene, to nutrition in disaster," Jacques Reber, chairman and CEO of Nestlé Philippines disclosed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Filipino youth is the hope of the Motherland according to National Hero Jose Rizal. That is why it is imperative that the future generations be given adequate nutrition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Other partner institutions such as  ABS-CBN and the Food and Nutrition Research Institute,  cooperated to launch the United for Healthier Kids website www.u4hk.ph, that aims to  spread awareness and spread the call for volunteerism in the country. Organizations such as  Project Pearls, Reach Out and Feed Philippines, Children’s Mission Philippines, Children’s Joy Foundation Inc., Children’s Hour, Philippine Red Cross, Waves for Water, and Virlanie Foundation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The website provides relevant data regarding malnutrition that includes data on malnutrition by regions and endeavors to figrt malnutrition by the partner organizations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The U4HK website contains relevant data about malnutrition, such as a heat map that shows malnutrition incidence per region. The portal also shows the different efforts undertaken by Nestle Philippines and its partner organizations to fight malnutrition, including a list of initiatives that they plan to implement over the next couple of months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Reber also highlighted the crucial role that the youth play in generating ideas that will help the country in combating malnutrition and ensuring that its citizens can "lead prosperous and healthy lives."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For his part, Nestlé Philippines senior vice-president for communication, marketing, and innovation Paolo Mercado said that the youth can play a major role in disseminating the advocacy through digital platforms like social media.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He added that with strong commitment from private organizations and consistent participation from the youth, the Philippines is not too far from becoming a better country for children. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“A challenge as big as malnutrition is not the responsibility of just one sector of society. Businesses have the resources and technical knowledge to help address malnutrition,” he added. “The possibilities for interventions from the private sector are vast—from employee engagement and collaboration with communities to re-imagining more inclusive supply chains and supporting technological innovations to address access to food and the quality of food on the dining tables of Filipino families."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In line with this, Nestle Philippines and its partner organizations, such as ABS-CBN and the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, have work hand in hand to launch the United for Healthier Kids website (www.u4hk.ph), which aims to spread awareness and spread the call for volunteerism in the country. Other contributors and partner organizations include Project Pearls, Reach Out and Feed Philippines, Children’s Mission Philippines, Children’s Joy Foundation Inc., Children’s Hour, Philippine Red Cross, Waves for Water, and Virlanie Foundation.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From a calling and texting apparatus, to your handy-dandy alarm clock,
the mobile phone has come so far. It is not only a Swiss knife of sorts, it has
also become a newfound medium for developing a high-tech addiction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.helpguide.org/articles/addiction/smartphone-and-internet-addiction.htm">Smartphone
addiction</a></b> aside, though, there is a whole new wave of change that’s
affecting the way things work in a crucial industry. Healthcare, as we know it,
has shifted from the hands of the doctors and onto the patients. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://amzn.to/2n7oslZ">Dr.
Eric J. Topol</a></b> is definitely not the first person or doctor to recognize
the tidal wave of change that technology in general and smartphones in
particular are creating in Medicine and Healthcare. Anyone who has access to
Google via a smartphone or PC browser has probably searched for health
conditions that they suspect that they have. Then, the more astute may have
even diagnosed themselves before they came to the clinic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the new trend that Dr. Topol describes in his books about <b><a href="http://amzn.to/2mJ6dji">how
technology is changing the way the art of Medicine is being practiced</a></b>.
He asserts that Medicine is now being “democratized.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To the doctor who cannot adapt and modify the way he does business,
that sounds dire and dismal. To the patient who finds a doctor’s visit too
expensive or time-consuming, that may come as a relief. To the enterprising
doctor who can roll with the times and find ways to make technology work for
him, this could actually become another layer of income. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Money and business considerations aside, though, there are three things
that we can glean from this technological revolution that’s retooling how the
practice of Medicine works.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to technology, medical diagnostics may
become faster and more affordable. Aside from diagnostics, epidemiology, data
collection, and even treatments can be made more accessible to patients,
especially to those in developing countries.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">A doctor does not need to fear this tidal wave
of change for Medicine. He can do what he does best: LEARN. He can</span><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><i>
learn</i></b><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> how to roll with the changes, and integrate the new technologies
into his practice.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">While technology arms the patient with
information, nothing beats the certainty of a seasoned doctor’s opinion.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the books he wrote, Dr. Topol presented certain technologies and
apps that have revolutionized the way he practiced Medicine. In fact, the book<b> “<a href="http://amzn.to/2n1uWkt">The
Patient Will See You Now: The Future of Medicine Is in Your Hands</a>”</b>
contains a lot of anecdotes where technology sped up the diagnostic process.
Aside from that, Dr. Topol also outlines some cases wherein patients found
relief for rare conditions, thanks to the power of technology. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the age where Google, Facebook, the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation and other big tech companies or their founders are heavily investing
in finding cures for certain health conditions, it is no surprise that
innovations like these are radically closing the gap between health conditions,
their diagnoses, and their cures. However, more work has to be done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From the Internet of Things (IoT), Electronic Medical Records (EMR), new equipment and diagnostic tools, analyzers and the use of mass spectrometers, technology has proven to be a game changer in healthcare and medicine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Adding to that is the use of the internet when communicating with healthcare professionals, the transmission of patient date as seen in the RxBox and the DOH’s use of Telehealth systems. On important factor is that communications include social media. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But healthcare is very different than other professions with regards to the use of social media, obviously health and life cannot brook mistakes. But there is no avoiding the use of social media even by healthcare professionals and patients themselves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Social Media can be a powerful tool in educating people about health and healthcare and also with opening the lines of communication between patients and their healthcare professionals that include physicians and other consultants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Important details needed about the use of social media is what constitutes “helpful” information as compared to “harmful” information found in social media?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What about the traditional practice of all health issues and concerns be discussed inside the clinic and the new technology enabled communications between physician and patient in social media?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What are the boundaries on what is discussed between the patient and physician in social media. It may seem to be a stupid question but can consultations and questions between the patient and physician be subject to “extra-billing?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These and more issues and concerns will be discussed in the Philippine Healthcare and Social Media Summit 2017. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now on its 3rd year, the organizer HealtXPh for the summit with this year’s theme of “Social Media and Health Research Connections that Matter.”  </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The summit will participated in by healthcare professionals, members of the academe, patients, researchers,  together with health and wellness advocates.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Discussions will be on how to optimize social media as a tool in promoting Philippine health research. The summit will be held at the Marco Polo Hotel, Nivel Hills, Cebu Veterans Drive, Cebu City on April 25, 2017. The scheduled hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is undertaken in cooperation with the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The recently held Hackathon by HealthHacks had 80 participants and that comprised 20 teams. The hackathon last Feb 4 – 5, 2017 generated 20 technology driven solutions for healthcare and the medical field. Developing and coding the solutions overnight within a span of 20 hours, these solutions were generated after undergoing mentorship from a diverse group of consultants ranging from technical to business acumen of mentors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The hackathon participants came from colleges and universities with those as young as senior high school and college level students. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Team YouthHack developed a smartphone app that would help in ensuring that Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) be done properly and correctly. Citing statistics on the mortality rate of heart attack victims, the timely application of  CPR will spell the difference between life and death. Upon utilization  of the app at a time of emergency, the smartphone will tell through voice prompts if the procedure is being done correctly by the one conducting the CPR. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This will be very useful for frontline responders or even those who are trained in basic life support when faced with an emergency situation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another app developed is called HazMap. This app enables the user to check any locality in the country for health hazards such as Dengue Clusters or any outbreak of any disease. It uses GPS together with drawing health data from institutions in the area. It features demographics and will give the user data on the health hazards in the locality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This will also enable the users to determine the health safety concerns of their loved ones by updating health hazards in schools or any community they might be travelling to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Team OZONE conceptualized a Fitness oriented app. It is akin to a health app pretending to be a Role Playing Game.  Its core function is to give points to those who play the game which in reality is a series of activities that will generate wellness for the user. E reward can be discounts to health related and wellness products that will enable them to have fun will living a healthy lifestyle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> HealthTech.PH covered the event and observed the process being made by the participants. HealthHacks is now on its 2nd year and garnered more participants this year. </span></div>

Registration was extended up to January 17, 2017.<br /><br />Recognizing the necessary and ever increasing use of technology in bringing solutions to healthcare and medical issues and problems, the hackathon is harnessing the creativity, intelligence and ingeniousness of the youth. <br /><br />Participants are from Senior High School and collegiate students. The reason for the age requirement is that the age gaps between the participants be kept to a minimum.<br /><br />Teams were formed composed of 3 – 5 members each and they may come from varying fields of discipline. What is important is that the team be able to develop a solution, have the solution coded or programmed so the solution developed can be demonstrated in front of judges. During the development of the solutions, there are mentors who will be resource persons for the teams wherein experience based guidance will be available.<br /><br />Viability of the solution developed together with the impact to be created in healthcare and the medical field will be the prime criteria for the top three winners of the completion.<br /><br />The top three teams will be announced on the afternoon of February 5, 2017.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“So I really want to help children and adults, ‘cause this is a problem I know very well,” she said.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dental and oral healthcare has been evolving in terms of technology and Ms. Universe Iris Mittenaire will need to be at the forefront of the campaign. She will need to harness the power of technology to be most effective in her advocacy.</div>
