Empowering Individuals to Better Manage Their Health The world is moving to a focus on linking individuals with interoperable, personalized health solutions that meet their lifestyle needs.
Advantages of Personal Connected Health Consumers are not just linking health data to the Providers any longer • Potential to transform human health and healthcare delivery, and to reduce global disparities in healthcare access • Adds motivation and inspiration to health self-management by taking advantage of support networks in social media and other online forums • Capable of reducing the impact of chronic disease, which is responsible for the greatest portion of healthcare expenditures • Ability to shift from treatment focus to preventive care by making health self-management a part of everyday life • Allows us to enjoy life longer outside of traditional healthcare
Engaging Consumers at Every Stage of Life …and Providing Links to Family, Friends, Social Networks & Providers Health and Relief Pharma
PCH Creates an Information- and Inspiration-Rich Environment for Health Improvement • Consumers become engaged in health self-management • Links to social networks become a source of positive reinforcement • A secure line of communication is established between providers and caregivers outside the exam room • Consumer-collected data can enrich healthcare for individual patients and patient populations • Better use of resources, reduced cost, improved clinical outcomes…and health management incorporated into everyday life
The Goal: Improve Lifestyle Choices, Health = Non Modifiable Contributors to Disease = Modifiable Contributors to Disease Hu et al. Diet, lifestyle and the risk of type 2 Diabetes in women. NEJM 2001 Sep 13;345(11):790-7. Stampfer MJ, Hu FB, Manson JE, Rimm EB, Willett WC. Primary prevention of coronary heart disease in women through diet and lifestyle. N Engl J Med. 2000; 343: 16–22
Envisioning A Better Way: Weight Loss • Wearable trackers to monitor calories burned through activity • Apps for diet/nutrition advice and caloric intake, on smart phone and/or computer • Social networking for inspiration and competition (i.e., Jenny Craig, Biggest Loser), using online forums such as Facebook
Envisioning A Better Way: Gaming • Wearable trackers to monitor specific activity • New sensors to enable 3d tracking and movements • Already in use for Rehabilitation and Diagnostic purposes • Can be utilized to stimulate inactive or cognitive impaired individuals • Interoperability allows for this data to be collected by healthcare team
Envisioning A Better Way: Management of Rare & Serious Diseases • Disease-based forums (web, social media) for peer advice on treatment options and experience • Connectivity to providers via provider portal, for expert advice during diagnosis, treatment and follow-up Apps to find a clinical trial • PCH-enabled studies that use sensors, trackers and/or remote monitoring for data accuracy and patient convenience
Envisioning A Better Way: Care of Special Populations • Individual and online gaming for children/teens with chronic diseases • Apps to support connection to people with communication disorders, such as autism • Wearable sensors and wireless monitoring for elderly living independently • Remote monitoring by healthcare providers to augment parental care of a sick child or aging parent • Social networking for caregivers, i.e., Facebook book, online chat with the ability to share sensor data
Envisioning A Better Way: Clinical Trials • Direct involvement of the individual in the trial • Evaluate patient populations • Accelerate patient recruitment • More efficient and effective management of clinical trails, data collection and reporting • Better quality, more reliable data • Get new drugs to market faster
Envisioning A Better Way: Interoperability Compliance with global industry standards is proven to decrease time to market and reduce development costs: • Lower Design Costs: saves US$ 40,000-$80,000 in development costs per device • Faster to Market: decreases integration time from three months to just three weeks • Increased Efficiency: quicker, less expensive integration to EMR or HIE platforms • Forward/backward compatibility: longevity of devices • Easy to expand or add new programs/products with plug-and-play
