In this DHCG Disruptive Dose, Mark Bard speaks with Dr. Iqra Aftab, Rheumatologist at AtlantiCare, about how physicians evaluate digital health tools in clinical practice. Dr. Aftab emphasizes that physicians prioritize seamless workflow integration without adding administrative burden or disrupting patient relationships. She explains why many solutions fail adoption despite strong pitches—highlighting gaps between technology capabilities and clinical needs in time-constrained environments. Dr. Aftab discusses the importance of physician input during development rather than after deployment, and offers guidance on what makes tools worth adopting: genuine workflow integration, patient outcome improvement, and workload reduction rather than redistribution.
