Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the push to talk
is used inside telemedicine systems and m-health initiatives as a way to
implement ruggedized handset communications for all clinicians.
Tele-medicine and M-health market driving forces
relate to people taking more responsibility for their own health. Tele-medicine
and m-health contribute to healthcare delivery in the home and office.
M-health, delivered over the smart phone and tablet, comes in the form of apps.
Tele-medicine is evolving toward smart phone device delivery as well.
The cost of tele-medicine for the US veterans
administration is $1,630 per patient per annum. This is substantially less than
skilled nursing facility programs and nursing home care which cots $100,000 per
annum. VHA’s positive experience with enterprise-wide home tele-medicine
implementation is driving adoption by hospitals everywhere. Telemedicine is an
appropriate and cost-effective way of managing chronic care patients in both
urban and rural settings.
The tele-medicine adoption rate is growing. Cost of
care delivery has become a major concern worldwide as the population ages.
Mobile phone apps and remote telemedicine equipment are driving increased
adoption, growing adoption rates. Concerns regarding the efficacy of care
through use of tele-medicine in healthcare industry have alleviated.
Reimbursement is being made available for clinicians for the use of
tele-medicine.
Patients are being encouraged to take more
responsibility for their own care. Technology is bringing change. People have
more accurate information available to themselves. The current situation is
impacted by the very high proportion medical spending that is directed to
treatment of chronic disease. A second aspect is that chronic conditions are
best controlled by interventions on a daily basis with a trusted nurse
monitoring and measuring outcomes of various situations.
The tele-monitors integrates with the management
suites to empower care providers within healthcare systems, physician offices,
or home health agencies with web-enabled, on-demand access to this configurable
device. Wireless connectivity with a broad range of peripheral devices supports
patients with a variety of the needs and risk factors.
Medical consultation systems to allow healthcare
providers to remotely monitor patients around-the-clock. Voice-enabled,
disease-specific symptom management (DSSM) questions are part of the system.
Protocols (include multi-level questions. Multilevel questions sets can be
triggered by yes or no answers.
This level of granularity enables care providers to
telemonitor patients with chronic diseases. Disease conditions monitored
include hypertension, COPD, CHF, and diabetes. Honeywell network of remote
patient monitors consists of 70,000 installed units. This is a significant
installed base. Honeywell offers a complete and flexible telemonitoring system.
Accurate vital signs collection is improved with clear auditory and visual cues
to the patient.
This study deals with three separate related markets.
Telemedicine is the tracking and monitoring of chronic disease. Vital signs and
advice are core parts of the business. M-health is a separate business related
to the development of apps that are providing monitoring through smart phones
and tables, and are providing wellness applications. Tele-health is a related market.
In tele-health, companies, enterprises, and insurers contract with a services
provider to be available on the telephone to help people deal with a virus, an
infection, poison ivy, pink eye, and common disease conditions that can be
managed with telephone or video communications.
M-Health relates to apps. The app helps healthcare
providers meet patients where they are, enabling just-in-time patient education
and care coaching through the power of the mHealth. Health Groups are evolving
worldwide leadership positions in mobile health systems with millions using its
mobile health applications on iOS and Android, enjoying the personal and family
benefits of being led to live a more active, healthier lifestyle.
Push telecommunications for tele-medicine (PTT) and
M-health supports custom messaging from patients on a daily basis. Messaging is
a feature of the Bosch Health Buddy System and other leading telemedicine
systems. The systems rely on content programs that are tailored to patient
conditions and involve questionnaires tailored to the chronic condition in the
case of patients with those types of disease conditions.
With chronic disease telemedicine systems, content is
pushed out to the patient on a custom basis, addressing changes in patient condition.
Content varying is implemented each day to assess different key aspects of care
and to keep the experience fresh for patients. The custom messaging feature
enables care providers to send customized notifications to specific patients or
their entire population with the click of one button. Messages appear on the
patient’s device display on their next session, and are archived and audited by
the system, allowing the care provider to track when patients receive and view
their messages.
In the case of remote presence telemedicine systems
and video conferencing systems, the care giver needs to have access to the
patient record. In the long term, this will be how the systems all work, that
the physician talking to the patient has the ability to see the test results
and the patient history.
There is strong market growth in all segments, but
the most dramatic is in the smart phone apps segment. Electronic personal
monitoring and profiling of healthy behaviors will grow dramatically. The
unprecedented availability of sensors that detect sleep patterns, exercise
patterns, and correlate these with vital signs monitoring is bringing a huge
change to living.
Just as sports clubs have created a way for people to
exercise instead of going to the bar, so also smart phones will encourage
healthy behaviors. The information gathered will make its way into the
electronic patient record, feeding ways for physicians to encourage compliance.
Apps at $.99 each will predominate, linking to cognitive computing systems in the
cloud.
The analytical capabilities of cognitive computers
help people make sense of the accumulated information about lifestyle and will
help people make more intelligent choices about lifestyle. Tele-medicine device
and software companies recognize that their revenue stream will come from
services delivery. Just as smart phones are paid for in conjunction with the
services contracts, so also the tele-medicine applications are paid by
insurance.
In some cases the insurance companies recognize that
their long term costs are lower by delivering clinical intervention to try to
impact lifestyle for patients with chronic disease conditions. Early
intervention is dramatically less expensive than a trip to the emergency ward.

IBM Watson cognitive computing drives the M-health
market with its cloud computing analytics available to a number of market
participants. Healthcare patient, physician, and facility decision support
markets are forecast based on the broad availability of smartphones combined
with the IBM Watson technology that promises to revolutionize care delivery for
every healthcare venue.
Watson offers Interactive Care Insights for Oncology.
The cognitive systems use insights gleaned from the deep experience of Memorial
Sloan-Kettering and Massachusetts General Hospital clinicians. Watson is
positioned to permit clinicians to provide individualized treatment. More
options are based on patient medical information. IBM Watson in combination
with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has information that represents the
synthesis of a vast array of updated and vetted treatment. It is able to
compute individual treatment guidelines. This represents a revolution in cancer
treatment care and presages a major revolution in all healthcare treatment and
diagnosis.

Worldwide Tele-medicine and M-health PTT push market
driving forces relate to the improved effectiveness of remote communications in
all industries. An clinical reimbursement addressing mobile health initiative
for chronic conditions. This trend promises to become prevalent as people learn
how to keep themselves healthier. Healthy behaviors such as exercise, good diet
and stress management have the potential to reverse aging on a molecular level
and partly restore the vitality of a person’s cells.
Healthy lifestyle choices can increase the length of
DNA sequences found at the end of a person’s chromosomes. This shift toward
wellness has stimulated the need for better communication between clinicians
and patients. New sensor technology creates the opportunity for monitoring and
for alerts to be send to and from at risk people who are exercising.
PTT telemedicine markets are poised to achieve
significant growth as the existing telemedicine systems merge with the smart
phone systems of engagement to provide a way to improve clinical care delivery
to patients with chronic disease, decreasing hospitalizations and visits to the
emergency room. There is a convergence of telemedicine and m-health as the
patients become more responsible for their own care delivery and their own
health.
According to lead author of the Research team that
prepared the telemedicine market research study, “Push technology for
telemedicine (PTT) is evolving large new markets. Markets are evolving as smart
phone devices find more uses. Differential diagnostic tools and significant
improvements in monitoring support differential tele-medical treatment. The
decision process takes into account clinical findings from home monitoring
devices and from symptoms verbally communicated in a clinical services
implementation.”
Tele-medicine, telehealth, and m-health contribute to
healthcare delivery. M-health will surely be delivered over the smart phone and
tablets. Tele-medicine is evolving toward smart phone device delivery as well.
The cost of tele-medicine is substantially less than other NIC programs and
nursing home care. VHA’s experience is that an enterprise-wide home
tele-medicine implementation is an appropriate and cost-effective way of
managing chronic care patients in both urban and rural settings. Chronic
disease conditions are best treated early on when there is a change in patient
condition and an early intervention can make a difference. It is even better to
treat them in a wellness treatment environment before there are indications of
chronic disease, before symptoms develop, by addressing lifestyle issues early
on.
Telemedicine, telehealth, and M-health markets at
$1.5 billion in 2014 are anticipated to reach $45.4 billion by 2021. M-Health
markets related to telemedicine will grow the fastest, leveraging 9.5 billion
smart phones and 5 billion connected tablet devices installed all over the
world by 2021.
