Abstract

Humans have progressed significantly since the first industrial revolution in the 18th century – from steam power and mechanised factory systems, we are now in Industry 4.0 going on to Industry 5.0 where supercomputers, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and robotics gradually dominate most parts of our lives. Medicine has certainly benefitted from the advances in technology and Primary Care is no different. We will explore the use of digital health solutions that support virtual care. Video consultations can now be conducted seamlessly and effectively, contributed by the low barrier to entry. App interfaces can facilitate and even automate the interactions between the healthcare provider and the patient so that managing chronic diseases requires less effort and produces better results. We will also sight the disruption that can be caused by artificial intelligence, transforming traditional methods and usual care, while creating value in terms of streamlining workflows, and enabling new possibilities. By using technology, healthcare systems can operate with fewer resources, lower costs, and greater access – creating a model that is not only efficient, but also environmentally and socially sustainable.

Speaker

Acute on Demand Telehealth and Telehub in Primary Care

In an era where care delivery is rapidly evolving, this symposium brings together primary care leaders, innovators, and clinicians to explore how virtual care can reshape the future of healthcare. As our systems confront rising patient demands, workforce pressures, and the need for more resilient and pandemic-ready models, digital transformation has become essential.

This symposium will spotlight on thoughtfully designed virtual care initiatives involving collaboration, innovation, integration, and multidisciplinary virtual care models. Attendees will gain insights into key lessons learned and future directions ahead as we continue to align virtual care with the core principles of primary care.

Ultimately, this symposium invites participants to envision care without walls—a future where technology enables more connected, efficient, and patient-centred primary care, and where our collective efforts drive meaningful digital transformation across the sector.
