I was reading these new approaches to solving healthcare challenges and what struck me is the part where it mentioned building health resilience technology to withstand natural disasters. It's very important especially that the hurricane season has begun for chronically ill to continue to use their DME's even with prolonged power outages for example. We could save thousands of lives if we have a way of knowing who needs access to DME's at the time of natural disasters.
Great point as we have patients with O2 and Vents at home!
