                           - A short report

28.06.2020 (Sunday)

A Digital Health Conclave was arranged by BNI, Jaipur North. It was a 90 mins session with 3 prestigious speakers named:

• Dr. Sachin Jhawar who discussed the topic "Future combat between Disease & Health."
• Dr. R K Sharma who discussed the topic "Mental health"
• Mr. Siddharth Sharma who discussed "The importance of Medical Insurance"

Below are my takeaways from those 90 minutes:

Ø Speaker 1: 

Dr. Sachin Jhawar (Healthcare-Technology alignment, technology will take over everything)

1. Because of COVID-19 situation, Healthcare is currently the no.1 employer
2. 2040 – Everything has a smart touch. We have a smart mirror that says we might need to sleep more. A smart toothbrush may detect diseases, chances of having ulcers from saliva. There will be biomarkers for everything. It will be unique, specific, and sensitive.
3. Healthcare will evolve enormously. Technology will play a huge role.
4. The whole dimension will change from cure to prevention. Let’s calm us down and focus on being technological advancements.
5. Tele Medicare will be more popular. We need not to visit doctors.
6. Nanotechnology- can heal the most complex cancer cells.
7. Artificial intelligence will take care of the diagnosis part. Biomarkers will help even giving future plans. They will plan the dos and don’ts. Then they will evaluate the treatments and their effects. 3D printer might print customized joints.
8. Many treatments will change down the line. Bacteria are also evolving. Diseases that last million years have not seen might come. We can not be bacteria or virus free. There will be challenges and Medicare will grow.
9. Healthcare should be Patient obsessed, not bottom-line obsessed.
10. Integrations, such as Visual-Vocal-Medical integration are very important.

Ø Speaker 2:

Dr. R K Sharma (Mental wellness is ignored and this is very wrong)

1. Mental health problems are persisting all over the world and treatments are getting expensive day by day.
2. According to WHO, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
3. Mental health: an individual realizes own abilities can cope with normal stresses, can work productively, can contribute to one’s society.
4. Mental health:
1. Cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being
2. How people think, feel, and behave.
3. Not just the absence of a mental disorder.
5. Stress is the response of your mind and body to a real or imagined threat (beyond actual threat)
6. General Adaptation Syndrome
   
7. Stress Management -->  Either Change one’s reaction (more feasible) or Change the Source.
8. Identify stress --> Identify thought --> Changed Reaction --> Changed Emotions and feeling
9. Balancing lifestyle, dietary practices, exercises
10. We have to improve sleep hygiene.

Ø Speaker 3:

Mr. Siddhartha Sharma (Body insurance far more important than car insurance)

1. Insurance is not something you invest in a mindset to get back.
2. Govt gives tax benefits. It makes us tension free. Covers existing disorders. Secures retired day
3. Any pre-existing policy covers Covid-19 from Day 1
4. Medical services are improving and with the improvement, the cost is increasing too. The corporate culture of hospitals is they have to spend money.
5. Policies are not time taking and risky affair.
6. The concepts of Top-ups, senior plans, Critical illness policies, corporate insurance.
7. Myths about insurance: Young and Healthy people do not need insurance.
8. Do insurance according to lifestyle, so that you can get treated where you desired.
9. Check your claim policy. Select nominees wisely.
10. Don’t ever lie to the insurance company, doctors, layers.
