I particular liked the acknowledgement that there is a need for integrated and coordinated healthcare. 'Help caregivers work more as a team: 79% of physicians and close to 50% of consumers believe using mobile devices can help physicians better coordinate care.'
Everyone one has a role to play from the patient, caregiver, physician community and support groups. So how can we harness this concept and put it into action?

The current target for wearables is the same as for gyms and sports clubs - this leads to stats as commented in the article: "Less than half of people who own a wearable use it on a daily basis". Currently wearables are being treated as "add-on" to a healthy lifestyle, but form no real part of it. We need them to become "add-ins" (to coin a phrase), an integral part of health management within the home - the active-patient paradigm.

Key point
Part of this movement to shift responsibility to the patient means hospitals, which have for years measured financial success based on the number of filled beds, will have to adjust to a new health care system that values empty beds and healthier patients. |
