Trust Continuum

Meaning

The Trust Continuum is a conceptual framework that describes the evolving level of confidence and reliance an individual places in healthcare providers, wellness technologies, and the systems that manage their sensitive health data. In hormonal health, this continuum spans from initial skepticism to full, confident engagement, and is critically dependent on factors like data transparency, clinical competence, and the demonstrable commitment to patient privacy. Breaches of privacy or therapeutic failures can instantly shift a patient toward the low end of the continuum, severely impacting adherence and clinical outcomes. Maintaining this trust is paramount for the success of personalized medicine.
