Abstract

Digital technologies have pervaded medicine and healthcare systems and brought innovations with unprecedented speed, benefiting all stakeholders from patients to healthcare professionals, researchers and administrators. Health outcomes are defined as the measurable change in health as a result of interventions. The ultimate goal of medicine and health systems is to improve patients' health outcomes. Digital technologies have brought a revolution in the measurement of health outcomes from sensors and digital biomarkers recording physiological and behavioural data to the more precise measurement of patient reported outcomes and experiences - how themselves feel about the effect of health interventions or the participation in healthcare. From the analysis of big data to simple web surveys, the new possibilities and innovative solutions bring new insights but new methodological challenges and ethical dilemmas as well. This presentation will summarise why health outcomes matter to health economists and what are the contributions and ongoing research projects of the HECON - Health Economics Research Center in the measurement of health outcomes via digital technologies.

使用数字技术衡量健康结果

数字技术已经渗透到医学和医疗保健系统中，并以前所未有的速度带来了创新，使从患者到医疗保健专业人员、研究人员和管理人员的所有利益相关者受益。健康结果被定义为干预措施导致的可衡量的健康变化。医学和卫生系统的最终目标是改善患者的健康结果。数字技术带来了一场健康结果测量方面的革命，从记录生理和行为数据的传感器和数字生物标志物，到更精确地测量患者报告的结果和经历——他们自己对健康干预措施的影响或参与医疗保健的感受。从大数据分析到简单的网络调查，新的可能性和创新的解决方案带来了新的见解，但也带来了新的方法论挑战和道德困境。本演讲将总结为什么健康结果对健康经济学家很重要，以及HECON -卫生经济学研究中心在通过数字技术衡量健康结果方面的贡献和正在进行的研究项目。
