A key target market for Pharma marketing are doctors and their medication strategy. Doctors are recommending mobile app for medication adherence which should attract Pharma attention to this mobile app area. What are the best medication apps?

There is still much debate needed around what the role of Pharma is here. My cut is that we need to get involved to understand the dynamics and fine our place. Clearly some elements will be huge barriers, such as linking adherence apps to EHR (I can't see Pharma going that far for at least the next couple of years - the task is mamouth and fraut with regulatory questions that the pack of nay-sayers will jump on!), but with 93% of doctors valuing this there might actually be a nugget here to dig up!

via geekwire.com "Microsoft has significantly upgraded the sensing capabilities of the second-generation Kinect sensor that will ship with the newly announced Xbox One game console. One example: The Kinect can detect a user’s heart rate optically. The idea is to incorporate this functionality into exercise programs, as a start, but there are no doubt other applications, as well, and it’s also a sign of just how far the Kinect has come. The feature uses RGB and IR feeds to work." ****
Definitely not sure the HR detection is enough accurate to create and deliver Health Wellness related experiences which makes sense in term of Biofeedback.
The facial recognition feature can be engaging either : it compares the user face with pre-recorded emotional patterns. I am excited to test these features with the appropriate SDK to see how it could help to set emotional driven experience. Delete the scoop?

In an experimental study, psychologist Victoria Shaffer compared the ratings patients give to physicians who didn’t ask for advice, physicians who asked another expert for advice, and physicians who used decision-making software for treatment advice.
“Patients had no problem with [physicians who seek] consulting advice from an expert,” Shaffer said. “It was really the use of the computerized decision aid that makes them most concerned.” Via Andrew Spong, Sven Awege

Everyone wants the fastest, most accurate diagnosis they can acquire (although they may also want a second decision). Clinical decision support tools can help deliver on this requirement in a timely manner.
To me, this article is suggesting that there is an educational need for doctors who use diagnostic tools to explain to their patients why they are using them, *not* a suggestion that they stop using them.

Tool makes it easy to search for health providers who are active in the Medicare prescription drug program.
What’s the purpose of Prescriber Checkup?
A. We’ve made it easy to search for doctors and other health providers who are active in Medicare’s prescription drug program, called Part D. You can find out how many prescriptions each wrote and which drugs were prescribed. You can compare your doctor with others in his or her specialty and state. And you can check out the drugs you are taking or any that your doctor recommends.
Is this new information?
Until now, the identities of doctors and which drugs they prescribed in Medicare Part D have not been public. ProPublica obtained the data under the Freedom of Information Act and investigated prescribing patterns. We are making the data available to help consumers stay informed. Via nrip Delete the scoop?

Australia’s foray into connected healthcare brings together a smorgasboard of technology platforms to deliver quality care. These include citizens’ access to portals for information-sharing in an on-line environment. Among the trends, mobile apps, digital information management, and “digital hospitals” are helping deliver quality care. Connected care will drive the healthcare agenda this decade. This network encompasses public and private hospitals, as well as grass-roots patient care. But this connectivity is not just about high-profile investments in ICT systems and platforms. It involves connecting people with their personal information, and being able to communicate more readily with caregivers and medical practitioners. This connectivity empowers patients to manage their personal data and medication — while taking advantage of mobile devices, as well as information downloads over dedicated portals and gateways. Increasingly, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) technology is helping busy clinicians manage and track workloads across dispersed sites. Digital record-keeping is transforming the way hospitals manage medical records while migrating paper documents to an on-line environment. Across remote and regional areas, high-speed, fast-access broadband is helping deliver tele-health services while reducing pressures on over-stretched hospitals, and tackling long-distance travel time. More broadly, funding for connected healthcare is a top priority at the federal and state levels. Recent reforms seek to engage patients in the personal management of healthcare, while delivering integrated services, reducing duplication, and managing the cost of running ICT systems. These reforms are supported by broad-based funding, and their details are given below: Australian government New South Wales Victoria Queensland South Australia Western Australia Tasmania Via Henri Lefèvre Delete the scoop?

Digital health isn’t the application of a web site to clinical practice. And it’s not the generic idea of social media applied to a disease category. I guess the confusion starts with the word digital. Anything digital can combined with health and healthcare and there you have it–digital health. Even today’s more sophisticated healthcare marketers discuss digital health in the context of web sites and iPads. Today, pharm, marketers, thinkers and engaged listeners often can’t see the true promise of digital health and are plotting a healthcare future that might just not exist and based upon these misconceptions.

Digital health may be garnering all the glory for its promise to transform health care, but take a closer look and you’ll find a promising next wave of health care investments.
With a proliferation of mobile apps and data being generated at a dizzying pace, few investments have yet to fulfill their financial promise. The real money will be made when companies build services around these applications, make the data actionable, and connect all this inbound patient data to the physical health care system.
Expect companies that find new, creative ways of connecting data to patients, determine what to do with the data when it’s generated, and figure out ways to creatively (and profitably) engage the health care system, to attract the attention of VCs and entrepreneurs alike. Here are three areas worth watching
Software Systems for Data Analysis
New Service Models for Patients
Everything that can be done digitally and virtually will be done digitally and virtually. This will dramatically improve access to and efficiency of the traditional health care system. Call centers will be staffed not just by the traditional nurse, but also by physicians, pharmacists and other professionals who can provide a higher level of care.

The quantified self movement should be closely monitored by all interested in the future of the American health care delivery system. The potential to improve the life of patients with chronic diseases is clearly apparent; whether most people will use the increasingly sophisticated tools being developed is open to debate.

Marie Ennis-O'Connor's curator insight,
May 6, 7:27 AM
According to Wolf four technologic advances made the quantified self movement possible:
“First, electronic sensors got smaller and better. Second, people started carrying powerful computing devices, typically disguised as mobile phones. Third, social media made it seem normal to share everything. And fourth, we began to get an inkling of the rise of a global superintelligence known as the cloud.” Delete the scoop?

Visiongain's latest report examines the global mHealth market with a focus on service types, perceived benefits and the key drivers and barriers to uptake. This timely report is entitled World Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) Market 2013-2018: eHealth, Telemedicine & Health informatics The potential benefits of mHealth solutions include improving healthcare system processes, collecting and retrieving crucial medical data and patients being able to manage chronic conditions better. Dedicated devices that perform medical functions can utilise mobile technologies such as the cloud allowing data to be uploaded and downloaded instantly. The app ecosystem also offers a vast array of programs that cover everything from general wellness to chronic diseases and illnesses. The mHealth ecosystem includes mobile operators who are set to reap revenues from increased data consumption. Healthcare practitioners will find workloads decreased and greater efficiency in treatments. Software and app developers will gain wide revenue streams from the creation of popular apps or solutions either through consumer purchase or subsidised purchase by health insurance companies. Governmental bodies and pharmaceutical companies can also increase savings and revenues from mHealth. Via Bart Collet Delete the scoop?
