FbT Journal Club - April 2019

Knowledge is one of the basis of providing high quality and safe medicine to patients and consumers. Recent work in translational research has shown that the gaps between evidence-based policy and practice and its application is extensive (bench to bedside), which can lead to poor health outcomes. In digital health, these gaps are oblivious especially when implementing digital health policy and solutions in clinical practice. As such, the knowledge of digital health research and laboratory findings are often difficult to translate into the application of health care delivery. This has often lead to poor uptake or stakeholder engagement with digital health in actual practice. This journal club explore some of the creative ways to bridge the gap between the research and practice of digital health.
