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.

You swear that you’re going to lose the weight of Christmas cookies by February? You pledge that you will get in shape and live healthier?

The next day, though, she should consider that as the basis for her next run. My advice for her was to pay attention not to overstretch the amount and keep the feel-good attitude. In the next 3-4 weeks, she should change something: increase time span or distance, aim for better finish times or fewer breaks\u003C\u002Fstrong>. I believe monotony kills the joy of running, so I told her not to run the same way twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Also, I encouraged her to assess her data after running – perhaps she finds something motivating.
