101 Ways To Improve Care And Reduce Healthcare Expenditure
An increasing number of healthcare services are being offered across mobile
and wireless networks. The healthcare providers' desire to cut costs, and
the arrival of a new generation of mobile ehealth services, will speed up
deployment. But can mobile operators afford to stay in the race?
29th March 2006. Cambridge, UK: In an effort to cut costs and improve
efficiency, healthcare providers are pushing key elements of the care
process out from hospitals to the edge of their healthcare networks. This
process has created a market for wireless based ehealth devices and
healthcare services provided across mobile networks. Cambridge UK based
analysts, Wireless Healthcare, will be describing a range of emerging and
established mobile ehealth applications when it presents its 101 Things To Do With A Mobile Phone In Healthcare report at a special interest group
meeting being run alongside with the Connected Care Forum on 3rd April.
Wireless Healthcare will also describe subtle changes that are taking place
within the European ehealth market. At present, some of the most successful
implementations of mobile ehealth are supported by insurance companies in
Germany and Switzerland. Mobile operators, such as Vodafone, are already
earning revenue from these services and from other call centre supported
ehealth initiatives such as NHS Direct in the UK.
According to Wireless Healthcare, applications such as SMS (text message)
patient reminders are an early indication of the move towards automated
communication between the health provider and the patient. "It is easy to
see text message based appointment reminders as an end point rather than a
first step towards medication reminders and complete health management
solutions," states Kruger. In the UK, data on the number of patients failing
to keep appointments is published on a regular basis. This has made it
simple to assess the economic impact of patient reminder systems. However,
according to Kruger, people tend to overlook other benefits of automated
mobile communications - such as the ability of health providers and social
services to co-ordinate the care of the mentally ill and to track a patient'
s compliance with medication.
At the Healthcare Special Interest Group meeting, organised by Cambridge
Wireless, Peter Kruger will describe an emerging model for ehealth that is
less reliant on call centres and is, instead, based around advanced
healthcare technologies such as personalised medicine and clinical genomics.
(Large IT vendors, such as IBM, are already working on technology that
supports this next generation of ehealth services.) He will also outline the
challenges and opportunities for device manufacturers and mobile
communications vendors as incumbent healthcare providers claw back some of
the services currently being hosted by independent third party ehealth
providers.
"Eventually we will see the emergence of a sophisticated ecosystem of
ehealth services," Kruger explains. "This ecosystem will include
applications as diverse as diet analysis, vital signs monitoring and capsule
endoscopy. Unfortunately, at present, it is not clear where the mobile
network operator will fit into this ecosystem as many of these new
applications will cannibalise revenue generated from mobile calls to call
centres. As well, the core technology to support new ehealth platforms will
require substantial R&D effort at a time when mobile operators are still
attempting to generate a return from recent acquisitions and expenditure on
3G. Investors may be unwilling to support spending on new services that
provide less shareholder value than online games or voice."
According to Wireless Healthcare, the prospect for IT vendors and small
ehealth device developers is more encouraging, as both are required to
complete the network of services the health provider needs to drive down the
cost of healthcare and provide domiciliary health workers with tools to care
for patients within the community.
