Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation strengthens its efforts in Digital Health with a new area in its organization

Digital Health has become a guideline for several international organizations to invest and plan strategies aimed at protecting the health and life of all people with no exception.

With the combination of efforts and resources to provide innovative tools to medicine, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has organized a department specialized only in Digital Health, based on the new Information and Communication Technologies.

This new sector aims to develop and design optimal devices to integrate all countries around the world - including those of medium and low income - into a universal coverage that reduces the inequality gap in terms of access.

The health services intended to be used consist of telemedicine applications that will provide distance consultations in real time along with portable diagnoses and reports in electronic format.

One of the main focus points will be the fight against Alzheimer's disease through digital platforms that include software capable of detecting risk warnings through blood and retinal tests to intervene in time and begin a treatment in order to prevent the development of the disease.

At the same time, the foundation implements initiatives so that its projects supported by devices such as smartphones, can be established in isolated areas and with little opportunity to enjoy public health services.

Thanks to the use of virtual applications, vital signs such as heart rate and glucose level can be constantly monitored so that the patient has a personalized lifestyle management.

Soon there will be improvements in infrastructure that allow the development of technologies, based on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, that make decisions and find solutions automatically and exchange clinical information between health centers.
