Health Care Providers
Health Care Organizations around the world are struggling with the
challenges of:
a) Providing quality Health Care to an increasing number of
patients, while
b) Trying to control Health Care costs
Annual Health Care Costs:
- Canada: $290B
- US: $2.9T
But even with good Health Care, a patient also needs to have good health behavior
- look after their own Health - in order to have good long-term health.
People are on their own, away from a Health Care Provider, 99.99% of the time.
But many people have poor health behavior:
a) Do poor Self-Care (go for walks, take medication)
- Due to lack of self-motivation / self-discipline: poor attitude
- For example, poor medication adherence costs the U.S. $290B / year
b) Poorly handle Mental Wellness episodes (anxiety; sadness)
- Due to poor reaction (behavior) to life events; inability to self-help
- Annual Mental health costs: US - $300B; Canada - $40B
c) Lack of Health knowledge or inaccurate knowledge
- Inaccurate knowledge due to: fake news; commercial ads
- Leading to behavior that worsens one’s health
Health Care Providers can provide vFriends to patients who have significant health issues and who have less-than-good health behavior (who do not look after their health well).
