Cluster Saúde
We want to promote research for the rapid advancement in improving health care delivery.
Global health care delivery systems are developing very quickly, generating opportunities and very significant advances in recent years, especially in terms of precision medicine.
The development of technologies creates new opportunities for healthcare providers and providers, as well as enabling patients to be trained. Personalization and individuality, which are increasingly expressed in the search for health care, are two expectations that are progressively better met by eHealth.
Digital health, which relies on self-management of chronic diseases, gives patients the possibility of self-diagnosis and helps caregivers and pharmacists to better coordinate the entire process. Some companies focus on treating patients based on applications, managing the disease by providing easy-to-understand data and combining other dimensions such as coaching, therapeutic management, automated data tracking, and integration with medical devices.
