Healthcare
is about
health
I want to be
healthy!
SUBOPTIMAL HEALTH:
6 COMMON
REASONS
1. Does not use
the best main
treatment
2. Does not use
the optimal
dosages
3. Difficult
to take treatment
as agreed
4. Difficult
to lead a healthy
lifestyle
5. Does not get
enough support
from others
6. Is not happy
with the decision-
making

BACKGROUND
HVA ER BEST
Å GJØRE?TEKNISK STØTTE:
• Systematisk monitorering av effekter
• Monitorering av annen info, som søvn og labsvar
• Optimalisering av compliance
• Integrert kunnskap fra mange kilder
• Rangering av behandlinger ut fra forskning og reelle
effekter
• Hjelp til å formidle kunnskap til henne på en forståelig
måte
• Hjelp til å involvere henne i valget

• Enables valid and consistent
integration of large amounts of data
• Takes knowledge and preferences
as input for calculations of treatment

I feel safer having this system
I see the big picture very fast

We quickly get to the main issues

We can continue
with business
as usual:
• No systematic measurement of
treatment effects
• Trust that our brains can process
all necessary data
• No digital support outside of the
encounter
CONCLUSION
Finding out what
works for you should
be as systematic as
finding out what works
for groups
(= research)
Optimisation of health
for each and every one of us
1. Finds the

2. Takes

4. Leads

5. Takes

6. Receives
