The world of Big Data is one of pervasive data collection and aggressive analytics. Some see the future and cheer it on; others rebel. Behind it all lurks a question most of us are asking — does it really matter?
One in three Brits visit the doctor less often than normal thanks to health and fitness gadgets, a survey has found.
A third of people credited devices like pedometers and heart rate monitors with improving their health and decreasing their need to seek medical help.
The finding suggests modern technology could play a crucial role in easing the financial pressure on the NHS as the Government looks how to tackle the impact of an ageing population...
I was always convinced that social media are the tools in hands of patients to do more for themselves and bby so doing lower the pressure of demand for formal medical activities.. This proves I'm right. Imagine how many could be saved if we would follow this immanent policy explicitly!
De Michaël Lixon | 4 octobre 2013Le Quantified Self est un mouvement qui regroupe les outils, les principes et les méthodes permettant à chaque personne de mesurer ses données personnelles, de les analyser et de les partager. Les outils du Quantified Self peuvent être des capteurs, des applications mobiles ou des applications Web.
Il est de plus en plus facile de mesurer et partager les données de sa santé, de son hygiène de vie, avec les Smartphones merveilleux outils souvent remplis de capteurs de toutes sortes (GPS, Boussole, Caméra, Détecteur de lumière, Gyroscope, Accéléromètre,..). Il existe aussi d’autres objets connectés spécifiques pour mesurer son poids et sa tension au quotidien ainsi que des bracelets, des montres et bien d’autres encore.
Tous ces objets sont connectés via les réseaux (internet, wifi, Bluetooth, etc…) permettant d’envoyer les données collectées pour analyse, à des logiciels, des plateformes web ou à des professionnels pour les informer sur votre état. Et, en fonction des informations recueillies, vous pouvez être conseillés ou coachés.
On détermine 4 grands thèmes du Quantified Self :
Alimentation : régimes, compteurs de calories, alimentation et grossesse, …Activité physique : mesure de l’activité, cours vidéo (abdos, gymnastique, yoga, …), coaching, planning d’entrainement, …Conseils Santé et Coaching : prévention, arrêter de fumer, maladies chroniques, urgences, voyages, vaccins, …Gestion Santé : glycémie, mesures (poids, tensions, fréquence cardiaque, …), sommeil, …A l’horizon 2017, on estime que 1,7 milliards de personnes auront au moins téléchargé 1 application de m-santé et d’après Research2Guidance 2013, c’est un marché estimé à 26 milliards de dollars.
En 2013, 1/3 des personnes utilisant des objets connectés ou applications mobiles santé sont atteintes d’une maladie chronique (mesure de la glycémie pour les diabétiques par exemple).
Et vous, pensez-vous que le Quantified Self sera la clé du mieux vivre ? Et si oui, orientez-vous l’innovation pour vos produits et services dans ce sens ?
With healthcare providers under continuing pressure to provide better care at lower costs, remote cardiac monitoring devices are becoming popular and valuable patient care tools, fueling U.S. market growth expected to top more than 25 percent between 2011 and 2016. (1) The devices enable cardiologists to monitor patients for extended periods of time outside the costly hospital environment, improving their ability to identify problems and provide early intervention that can support better outcomes and reduce the need for expensive future care.
LifeWatch Services, a leading provider of remote patient monitoring services, is convinced that integrating the remote monitoring data directly into providers' electronic medical record (EMR) systems is becoming increasingly critical to providing cost-effective, high quality cardiac care.
Meeting demand for efficient care
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the country's leading cause of death for both men and women, costing close to $109 billion annually in healthcare, medications and lost productivity, according to the American Heart Association. With remote devices, cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists (EPs), specialists in diagnosing and treating the electrical activities of the heart, can more efficiently collect and analyze data on larger numbers of cardiac patients.
However, the ability to quickly and conveniently access this data and integrate it with other information in the patient's EMR is the true key to improving care, especially given that patients are likely to be treated by multiple physicians, observes LifeWatch Chief Executive Officer Dr. Yacov Geva.
"The tremendous expansion of EMR systems in hospitals and physician practices over the past few years now makes it possible to have a centralized repository of information for each patient. Interoperability between the cardiac monitoring devices and EMRs puts monitoring results right at the physicians' fingertips, along with all the other patient data," he says.
Interoperability streamlines both the ordering of the devices and the reporting of results. Staff can electronically request monitors, including durations, start dates and patient demographic and insurance information. As soon as a patient begins using the monitor, daily reports go directly into the patient's EMR.
Better informed decision-making
In addition to providing a comprehensive picture by consolidating the monitoring data with the patient's diagnostic procedures, device implants, treatment and follow-up, integrating the data into the EMR allows cardiologists to see firsthand any monitoring results they choose, not simply review the EP summaries.

"Among the women who reported walking as their only activity, those who walked at least 7 hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked 3 or fewer hours per week. The women walked at a "moderate" pace -- about 3 miles per hour. The most active women -- those who walked and did more vigorous exercise -- had a 25% lower risk of breast cancer compared to the least active."

Over the next five years, 13 million wearable devices embedded with wireless connectivity will be integrated into wellness plans offered by businesses, according to ABI research’s new report.
In 2013, principal analyst Jonathan Collins said less than 200,000 wearable devices have been integrated into wellness plans.
The report factors in the social and economic drivers supporting the integration of wearable wireless device adoption, such as the point at which people start taking more responsibility in healthcare, Collins told MobiHealthNews.
“While some device vendors are hoping that strong consumer awareness will drive corporate wellness adoption for their products, they also need to understand and focus on the most influential parts of the healthcare value chain,” Collins said.

Hopefully a good proportion of the 1,300,000 devices will not be simple pedometers and/or accelerometers. Looking forward to see where this might all go.
