Although his life depends on the device, after losing his health insurance, the defibrillator’s manufacturer denied him the data. As a Quantified Self-man who wants to measure his health parameters and reduce the risk of contingencies, Campos paid to take a course on cardiac rhythm management and purchased a pacemaker programmer on eBay. That gave him access to the implant, restored his autonomy and right to self–protection, as he himself claimed. Actually, he might be the only pacemaker–defibrillator patient with the ability to interrogate his own implant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>His story is about how to take matters into your hands when it’s about your own health. No matter whether that means going against a company decision trying the almost impossible.

No matter which expression you choose, the crucial point is that he cut out uncontrollable factors from his environment which could have negatively influenced his health. While you don’t have to take a course on cardiac rhythm management to be able to take ownership for your health, with some steps you could reduce the amount of uncertainty and contingency regarding your care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Do you think you don’t have to?

Think about it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you fall ill, you will receive treatments if you feel a symptom in the right time, gain access to care in due time, get appropriate tests done reliably, your doctor makes the best decision for you based on one of the millions of medical papers out there, and you adhere fully to the therapy. Moreover, environmental effects and lifestyle choices have a massive impact on your quality of life. Can you count how many different parameters determine your patient pathway? Do you know how many can you influence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We should not accept this.

The high walls of the ivory tower of medicine started to crumble: vast sources of knowledge became available for anyone online, and social media channels have connected patients of many backgrounds with similar symptoms. The power of online communities, as well as empowered patients, appeared, pushing for a more equal-level doctor-patient relationship. As patients are more informed and more inclined to ask questions, they need a different type of rapport with their doctors as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As digital health technologies are developing at an incredible speed, a general trend emerged to produce more and more miniaturized, digitized and connected medical devices for personal use. Telemedicine, portable diagnostics, medical drones or 3D printing push patients to become the point-of-care: to be able to measure their vital signs at home or wherever they are – not only in medical facilities. Coupled with the appearance of direct-to-consumer genetic testing and the progress of genomics as well as artificial intelligence, digital health technologies add to the move of healthcare from reactive to preventive medicine.
