Digi.me is on a mission to empower individuals with personal data from across their lives. Individuals being in control of their data and able to gather it securely all in one place not only enables better personal insights, but also opens the way to benefit from sharing that data with consent.
Healthcare is one of the areas where individuals would benefit from being empowered with their data – and digi.me is at the forefront of driving patient centricity. This puts individuals at the centre of their medical care, able to access their own medical data and with greater insight and control over their own treatment.
We have already been featured as a case study in the Future Agenda Future of Patient Data report on healthcare, alongside Apple, iCarbonX, Deepmind and Amazon.
Now, in huge leap forward in patient centricity in the UK, digi.me users will imminently be able to access NHS health data held by GPs.
As part of our efforts to further understand the practicalities, opportunities and challenges of a patient-centric approach to healthcare, we would like to invite you to join us for a UK health focus group event.
It will take place on Tuesday, May 14 from 6-8.30pm at London Bridge Hive, 1 Melior Place, London, SE1 3SZ.
You can register here – and we are offering each qualifying participant a £30 Amazon gift card to thank them for their time.
The workshop aims to gather valuable individual feedback which will help develop the ideas and technology enabling our patient centricity vision. The workshop will:
- Explore the opportunities and challenges for patient empowerment
- Offer hands-on time with our new app which empowers individuals with their data
Participant requirements
We are looking for people from all backgrounds to take part and you do not need to be technically savvy to participate. To be eligible for the workshop and the gift card, participants will need to:
