Personal Connected Health

The Healthcare industry is developing devices to help monitor and maintain care remotely in patients – personal health devices.

This helps to improve the quality of life and independence of patients, while giving healthcare professionals access to the data they need to make decisions.

Personal Connected Health

Increasing evidence supports the value of remote home monitoring in chronic disease:

35-56% reduction in mortality;

47% reduction in risk of hospitalization;

6 days reduction in length of hospital admission and

65% reduction in office visits;

40-64% reduction in physician time for checks and

63% reduction in transport costs

(Cleland et al 2005; Lee R, Goldberg et al, 2003; Scalvini S et al., 2001; Elsner et al, 2006; Van Ginneken et al 2006)

Why standards are important

Provides a roadmap for products and services

– Each interface defines a boundary of responsibility for a product or service

– Each exposed interface places interoperability requirements on the product

– Constrains/enables areas for innovation

Why interoperability is important

Healthcare is Complex: diverse providers, consumers, settings & needs

mHealth showing positive results…but success depends on patient/provider willingness to learn & use technologies

Early evidence shows interoperability is more cost effective than ad hoc solutions

Consumer Technology Market History: successful technologies are flexible and easy to use

…Interoperability promotes ease for patients, providers and administrators

Benefits of Device Standardization

Extensible range of devices – grows with needs of user

Single system for telehealth and telecare

Low cost – devices compatible and re-usable

Modularise the system (common interfaces)

– Niche sensors

– Specialist providers of system components

– Extend range of devices available

– Improved system functionality

Benefits of Device Standardization

Home integration (smart meter, cable TV)

– Ubiquitous

– Utilities can provide the infrastructure

– Utilities can install the equipment

– Commodity item

– Simpler installation

Increased scale

Can be used on patients with more prevalent diseases

System cost spread over more users
