How Healthcare Technology Can (Believe it or Not) Humanize Medicine

This month, Joel Landau discusses how healthcare technology can humanize medicine in his latest piece in Newsweek,

“On its face, it admittedly sounds incongruous: Healthcare technology can humanize medical care? But how?

Wouldn’t the opposite be true? Wouldn’t tech’s incursion into this sector make medicine more impersonal? Wouldn’t the use of such things as telehealth platforms, which have become more prevalent during the pandemic, put more distance between the provider and patient than ever before?

Not really. The argument now is that technology allows for an ever greater connection—a connection that is constant and consistent.

Blockchain is making its presence felt in healthcare

In his most recent piece, our Founder and President Joel Landau writes for New York Business Journals,

“Blockchain is, on a far larger scale, a tool that helps to deal with the massive amount of patient data circulating within and among healthcare facilities: How can it be used to a provider’s best advantage? How can it be stored, analyzed, interpreted and shared so that it can ensure the best possible outcomes?

That is an ongoing challenge, as healthcare information systems are notoriously fragmented.”

The Importance of Boosting Your Memory 

In her most recent article, our COO Melissa Powell writes for Thrive Global,

“Losing your memory due to Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other similar conditions is a cause for great concern, especially among senior citizens. To reduce the risk of developing conditions that jeopardize the brain’s ability to store, access, and reference memories, boosting brain power and improving brain health should be top priorities for individuals of every age.”

Celebrating our Doctors

The Allure Group wished to recognize and celebrate outstanding medical professionals, so we invited members of the Brooklyn community to nominate their doctors for recognition.

Participants submitted letters expressing their appreciation for all that their physician had done for them, or to a special senior in their life. Many included heartwarming stories of the doctors’ outstanding dedication. We created beautiful gift packages for each doctor and included the letters their patients had sent. We delivered the packages earlier this month, and the doctors were deeply touched by this show of gratitude.

At The Allure Group, we know firsthand the hard work involved in providing outstanding care, and we are committed to continue playing a role in promoting the interests of the community as we work together towards outstanding healthcare for everyone.
