Patient Empowerment Thematic Report Overview

Recently, the global healthcare systems have been challenged by the prevalence of chronic disease and the need to support growing aging populations. Therefore, healthcare providers that promote patient empowerment strategies, such as self-care and autonomy in managing health, are being increasingly adopted. Notably, the patient empowerment trend is greatly benefiting from the rise of innovative tools such as wearable devices, as well as the digitalization of healthcare systems, such as the increasing implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) and virtual care.  

The patient empowerment thematic research report includes an overview of the theme along with the key areas where patients can become empowered and take a more active role in managing their health and wellbeing.

Health Literacy and Information

Demographic changes and the increasing exposure to risk factors associated with social and environmental changes are driving chronic diseases. In such a scenario, patient empowerment is one of the cornerstones of future high-quality, patient-centered healthcare aimed at tackling the increase in chronic diseases. Chronic disease management requires the acquisition of skills and knowledge on how to live with the disease, and the HCPs play an important role in providing this information. The majority of patients are happy with the amount and quality of information they receive from the healthcare team about their condition.

Healthcare providers must encourage and deploy strong patient engagement strategies to be successful in chronic disease management. Most of the surveyed patients were confident and well aware of their condition management and treatment options.

Digital Literacy

Online patient communities are a valuable resource for patients who embark on a journey of treating and managing their diseases. Younger patients (18-35 years old) are more active and keener to share their experiences in online communities. More activity in such online communities may imply that younger generations have a stronger dependence on online sources to share their challenges and success stories. This digital community also provides them with a sense of connection and support.

Artificial Intelligence

Lack of in-person interaction, increased medical errors, and data privacy and security are the main concerns associated with HCPs using AI in clinical practice. Patients both familiar and unfamiliar with the use of AI share these concerns as well. This suggests that in-person interaction is very important irrespective of whether patients have trust in AI. Patients familiar with AI are concerned about the associated challenges that the implementation of technology can bring.
