Video Summary

In this video, David Fagan, the Chief Digital Health Officer and Vice President for Information Technology at Boston Scientific, discusses the MyLatitude patient app, which is a supplement to their communicator and implanted devices. The app provides patients with peace of mind by ensuring their device is functioning properly and that they are receiving optimal care through remote monitoring. The app also reduces the burden on clinicians by answering patient questions and concerns. Fagan emphasizes the importance of data in tele-health interactions and how it drives innovation. He explains that every tele-interaction creates valuable data and that leveraging data optimally is key for delivering optimal care. Fagan discusses the user-centered design approach used to develop the MyLatitude app and the importance of considering patient preferences and needs. He highlights the clinical impact of push notifications, which inform patients if their communicator is not connected, and emphasizes the collaboration with physicians in rolling out digital health solutions.
