Video Summary

Dr. David O. Shumway, alongside Dr. Samir Sood, presents a webinar on the integration of digital technology in osteopathic medicine to enhance patient care and practice efficiency. The session introduces the American Osteopathic Information Association's Digital Health Innovation Community of Practice (DHI COP), emphasizing its role in fostering innovation and collaboration among osteopathic professionals. Participants learn about two primary digital health technologies: large language model (LLM) AI and wearable devices. LLMs, such as ChatGPT, are described as useful for medical documentation and clinical decision support, with potential to streamline clinical tasks and improve practice productivity. Dr. Sood discusses the increasing role and benefits of wearable devices in healthcare, including continuous glucose monitors, heart rate monitors, and blood pressure cuffs, which aid in chronic disease management and proactive health monitoring. The presentation highlights the importance of adopting digital health tools while ensuring compliance with privacy standards. Participants are encouraged to engage with the DHI COP for further education and collaboration opportunities, and to consider the dime seal as a benchmark for evaluating the quality and reliability of digital health products.
