Personal Connected Health Alliance (PCHA) • PCHA is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Continua, mHealth Summit and HIMSS, focused on engaging consumers with their health. • Mission - Making health and wellness a convenient part of daily life through personal connected health technologies.
PCHAStrategicInitiatives • Promoting education and awareness through events and outreach to all stakeholders • Facilitating adoption of global industry standards for user-friendly interoperability between devices; privacy and security • Publishing annual Continua Design Guidelines for end-to-end, plug-and-play interoperability; certifying products • Ratified by ITU as global standard for PCH technologies • Defining the path to market by advocating for appropriate regulation and promoting investment • Supporting governments and health ministries seeking connected health solutions • Operating in nations around the globe to promote market development
PCHAMomentum • PCHA will coordinate stakeholders in Personal Connected Health ecosystem and maintain a “consumer first” position: • It is about the individual • The technology is available • The consumers are demanding it • Nations are deploying and using it • We cannot afford to miss this opportunity The Market will not grow until we reach interoperable solutions!!!

Example: JapanEarthquake of 2011 • The Disaster Cardiovascular Prevention Network (D-CAP) was developed to remotely monitor the blood pressure of evacuees in campsites, with a goal to prevent cardiac events in survivors identified as “high risk.” • 400 people with elevated cardiac risk were enrolled in D-CAP program • D-CAP registrants received electronic identification cards and were encouraged to measure their own blood pressure at automated stations within the evacuation camp. • The data were sent via wireless communication to a data server and relayed to Jichi Medical University, about 200 kilometers away. Clinicians monitored the data and alerted on-site physicians by phone of any significant developments. • The system was deployed in just two weeks Source: Building the Case: Interoperability in Disaster Recovery
Example: JapanEarthquake of 2011 Interoperability problem • Continua guidelines allowed for a quick RPM solution during the Great East Japan Earthquake. • Disaster Cardiovascular Prevention Network (D-CAP) was developed to remotely monitor the blood pressure of evacuees in Campsites without hospital infrastructure. • Interoperability was guaranteed because the six companies involved were Continua members. • Devices: A&D (Automatic blood pressure monitors), Alive Inc. (Gateway firmware), Ryoto Electro Corp. (data server), Panasonic (PC), Toppan Forms (Patient ID Cards), Intel (Project coordination) Value of Continua guidelines • Continua Non-Continua Time Bring down deployment time down to 1/6 2 weeks*incl. 3 days for connectivity 12 weeks**incl. 30 days for connectivity Man-weeks(1 FTE per company) 60 man-weeks or $139k saved $166k** 12* $27k** 72** • Interoperability assured quality because each company could focus on their module in D-CAP • *Figures based on actual experience, **Estimates • Source: Time and Cost Savings of Using Continua’s Design Guidelines – A PwC Survey

ITU-T - H.810 2012: • In 2012, the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly adopted Resolution 78 – “Information and communication technology applications and standards for improved access to e-health.” • That same week, the Global Standards Symposium expressed the need for ITU to take a leading role in the e-health field by building on its collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) to create a global, open environment for the development and promotion of e-health standards. 2013: • In December 2013, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations’ specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs), announced the adoption of Continua’s Design Guidelines for interoperability under Recommendation ITU-T H.810. • International standards avoid costly market battles over preferred technologies, and for companies operating in emerging markets, create a level playing field with regard to market access. Through economies of scale, global ICT standards can reduce costs for manufacturers, operators and consumers, and are also an essential aid to developing countries building their infrastructures and promoting economic dev. 2014: • Continua contributes entire test suite to the ITU. Test suites were consented in July. • H.810 converted in to 6 different languages. 2015: • Continua working toward further contributions with ITU moving forward (DG 2015 and other materials, etc.).
