Jake is a serial entrepreneur and thought-leader with 25+ years
of healthcare technology innovation. His passion for enabling
better care for patients outside the hospital has been a career-
long focus. He pioneered software for the homecare and
hospice industry in 1991, creating the first EMR system
designed around scheduling and telephony technology. After a
successful exit in 2006, Jake continued to develop telehealth
and mobile health solutions for remote patient care. He is the
Managing Partner for Healthcare at OneCare, the first-to-
market independently cellular connected Carewatch for seniors
enabling greater independence and safety while enhancing
caregiver engagement and providing clinical data analytics.
HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES
 56 million Americans over the age of 65,
growing to over 80 million by 2050.
Growth in Senior
Population
 10% of physicians work in rural health whereas
25% of the population lives in rural areas.
Access to Care
 2583 hospitals (83%) paid nearly $563M in
penalties. New payment models leave hospitals
at-risk for readmissions. 2020

ADVANCEMENTS IN CONNECTIVITY
HOW 5G & LTE-M NARROW BAND IMPACTS DEVICES
LTE-M a.k.a Narrow Band
 Makes use of existing LTE infrastructure for rapid deployment
 Lower power requirements provides extended battery life, signal provides deeper penetration in to buildings
 Lower cost with single-digit megabyte data plans vs. multi-digit gigabyte plans
 Ideal uses include sensors for sweating, respiratory rate, body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, etc.
5G
 Requires infrastructure upgrades of $1 trillion
 Provides download speeds 10 to 100 times faster than 4G
 Reduces latency to milliseconds, 10 times decrease compared to 4G
 Ideal uses include physician video consults, intra-hospital networks, imaging CT & MRI, remote robotic
surgery, emergency response (5G vehicles).
ADVANCEMENTS IN CONNECTIVITY
MORE CONNECTED DEVICES CREATE MORE SECURITY RISKS
AHA Cybersecurity Recommendations:
1. Ensure devices have strong security features; passwords & encryption
2. Segment the work so that non-critical devices aren’t connected to core systems
3. Inventory all devices and map how they are connected on the network
4. Monitor network abnormalities

Accelerometer Sensors
 Collect acceleration data in 3 dimensions in G-force
 Vertical axis is G-force 2.5G = 24.5meters
 Horizonal axis collects data at a rate of 50 times per
second measuring acceleration
Fall Detection
 Shown are two simplistic features as an example
that differentiate an actual fall
 Sophisticated features can be extracted from the data
and used with machine learning to classify falls high
levels of specificity
 Accelerometry data can be used to determine false
positives

Editor's Notes

  1. Readmissions & Healthcare Cost– (CMS)1,177 hospitals received a higher penalty than they did last year, while 1,148 received a lower penalty, and 64 received the same penalty. Fifty-six hospitals received a 3% penalty, which is the highest levied under the program. Meanwhile, 372 hospitals avoided penalties both last year and this year. Caregiver Burden (AARP) Senior Population (US Census Bureau)
  2. 82% of responded listed challenges related to peace of mind as their #1 concern. I believe that Connected Care models between caregivers and their loved ones play a very important role in offering solutions to these very difficult challenges. Reference my personal experience with my mom (dad) and how this affects so many of us.

  4. 5g investment according to Greensill Report
  5. More connected devices create increased number of vulnerabilities.
