Guest Biography

Dimitra is the CEO of Synergistic Six. The firm has been globally
recognized for its Patient First Framework. As COVID 19 highlighted,
often Patients are afraid to visit their Healthcare Providers. Thus, the
Patient Experience is of the utmost importance. Every aspect of a
Doctor's Office can make a difference in patient outcomes. The ease
with which a patient is able to communicate with a Doctor in multiple
forms can help a Patient obtain the information they need to create
an impact. A Patient First Assessment can be a jaw-dropping
experience for the Doctor, highlighting critical areas of opportunity for
a Doctor to help create an enhanced Patient experience using
Technology.

Today, technology is playing an even more significant role in Patient
care and outcomes, from the content on a Doctor's website and its
relationship to visually pleasing and comforting media, to Telehealth
Appointments, Social Media Maintenance, and the use of the Internet
of Things.

Fibular Hemimelia explained

Fibular Hemimelia is a partial or total absence of the fibula and is the most common form of lower limb deficiency present at birth. There are two long bones in lower leg, the thicker one is called the tibia and the thinner one is the fibula. With Fibular Hemimelia the tibia is shorter than normal and the fibula is missing or underdeveloped. A leg affected by Fibular Hemimelia will look shorter than an unaffected leg. The tibia may be bent and the foot may also be smaller than normal, bent outwards at the ankle and may have fewer than five toes. The knee is often also misshapen and may move abnormally.

Usually only one leg is affected, with the right fibula affected more often than the left and males are 50% more likely to be affected than females.

PFFD explained- Proximal femoral focal deficiency, also known as Congenital Femoral Deficiency, is a rare, non-hereditary birth defect that affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone, and the proximal femur. The disorder may affect one side or both, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened. Wikipedia
