The digital technologies which will have the biggest impact on global health will not have been designed by or for medical professionals
Consumer technologies, sometime referred to as “general” technologies are being applied across almost all sectors of business and society for purposes which were not originally envisaged or intended. The health sector is a good example in which all of the technologies shown below are now being applied for health and well-being :-
• Smartphones
• Fitness Trackers
• Whatsapp and WeChat
• Virtual Reality Headsets
• Panoramic Cameras
• Artificial Intelligence
• Sensors
With the possible exception of fitness trackers, none of these technologies were developed by or for medical professionals. There are some profound implications, not only for the future of healthcare but also for the roles and responsibilities of health professionals and citizens. The graph below shows how digital technologies for health are shifting from expensive, stand-alone, proprietary technologies to smart, connected, consumer technologies.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

The Ultimate Guide to Healthcare App Development.pdfLucy Zeniffer
Planning to build a healthcare application? Here is your expert’s guide on steps to build a healthcare app, including types, features, and benefits of healthcare applications.
The Future Of Health 2014 www.psfk.com/future-of-health / #FutureOfHealth A Foreword PIERS FAWKES Founder & President, PSFK Labs labs.psfk.com Imagine a future where wearable technologies track key areas of your life to provide timely prompts about your health, and the data gathered can be uploaded securely to the cloud. Instead of going into the doctor’s office for a checkup, you would schedule a video consultation to discuss your recent readings. In instances when you need further care, your visits would be coordinated by medical records that flow seamlessly between key members of hospital staff and your care would be supported by relevant information that prepares you for what’s next. Your surgeon would be able to look at your results alongside the wider patient population or seek advice from specialists around the world to determine an optimal treatment plan; the effectiveness of which would determine their compensation. While the realities of the current model of healthcare tell a different story, we’re beginning to see exciting signs of change against daunting challenges. The World Economic Forum estimates that unless current trends reverse, five common ‘lifestyle’ diseases— cancer, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease and mental health problems—will cost the world $47 trillion in treatments and lost wages. Add that figure to a system that could see a shortage of 90,000 doctors in the US alone by the end of the decade, and the picture becomes bleak. Rather than view these as insurmountable obstacles, we choose to see a landscape full of opportunity. Despite a slow regulatory process a host of new mobile and social tools, sensor technologies and devices are being developed for an industry in need of change. These innovations are poised to improve health lifestyle choices and change the way care is delivered. We’re excited to share this patient-centered vision in our latest report.
Healthcare is currently undergoing a transformational metamorphosis. A new era of patient care that is more effective, precise, and patient-centered has arrived because of technological advancements.

3. Advances in digital health are changing the
medical landscape. By embracing digital
transformations, hospitals are able to grant
providers access to real-time patient records
coupled population health data enhanced by
artificial intelligence offering greater insights for
improved patient outcomes. With the
advancement of wearables and other remote
diagnostic and monitoring devices, patients can
receive quality care anywhere a connection to
the cloud exists.
Healthcare providers now have a whole host of
tools and resources at their fingertips to access
real-time data, monitor patients remotely and
make better care decisions. This access to
better data frees the patient from the physical
restraints of the hospital environment. This lessens
the dependence on admitting patients into
large hospitals for extended stays at exorbitant
costs to both payers and patients.
The adoption of digital transformations will be
reflected in a new healthcare landscape. By
removing the need for a patient and provider to
be in the same location, new care options will
be available to service the patient's needs
wherever and whenever they arise. The result will
be more patients receiving treatments locally in
out-patient or home environments. Patients will
have more control over their personal data and
play a greater role in the care decisions. This, in
turn, will lead to greater care outcomes,
enhanced operational efficiencies, and the
reduction of overall costs.

4. Lacking effective communications channels,
healthcare providers built the traditional hospital
model where all specialties were housed in one
location. Patients were admitted to the hospital
environment for comprehensive care and
observation. This environment was often
overwhelming and traumatizing to patients. And
it failed to yield the efficiencies being delivered
by today’s digital health solutions.
Patient information was kept in paper charts
resulting in delays as information traveled
between departments. A considerable amount
of time was required for staff to locate, update
and maintain patient data in this format - time
that could have otherwise been directed to
patient care. Antiquated legacy systems,
departmental data silos, and the inefficiencies
of a central hospital environment frustrated
providers, created additional costs and
overhead and ultimately undermined patient
care.
Furthermore, this cost structure meant that
building a new facility was an expensive
endeavor. The economics of the hospital
environment limited local access to acute care.
In the rural environment, it was not cost-effective
to build large hospitals. Rural patients often had
to travel great distances to receive critical care.
This meant time away from their loved ones and
extended stays in a distant city with no familiar
support system during the recovery. Because
resources were often not available, hospital
stays were extended to compensate for the lack
of local facilities.
Extended stays are costly and expensive.
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, extended stays increase the risk
of a Hospital Acquired Infection such as sepsis.
Resulting in even longer stays or readmission.
Greater expenses, inefficiencies, and
readmission coupled with frustrations of both
patients and caregivers alike suggest the
hospital model is broken.
TRADITIONAL HOSPITALS ARE BROKEN

5. PATIENTS ARE NO LONGER PASSIVE RECIPIENTS OF CARE
They are becoming more engaged with
providers, researching treatment options on their
smartphones and expecting to be treated in a
manner and an environment of their choosing,
most likely outside the traditional hospital
environment. Advances in digital health options
let them FaceTime with doctors from their
tablets, email, and text with providers and
consult with specialists without having to travel
great distances. These and many other digital
advances contribute to a better overall patient
experience.
Previously, doctors were the final authority on
patient care. That dynamic has shifted allowing
the patient to be a partner in deciding courses
of treatment and giving them information and
tools to improve care outcomes. Wearables
allow individuals to track and record vital health
indicators and reinforce positive outcomes for
treatment adherence. Further, privacy and
data laws are allowing patients greater access
to their personal data and control over who has
access to it.
Digital tools and services offer individuals access
to care that will address all their holistic health
needs in a way that is simple and convenient.
They will be able to use their smartphone to see
test results, make appointments, interact with
care providers and manage their bills online.
Apps allow patients greater insights into their
health status by tracking fitness activity and
other targeted vitals, so that they can see
progress or alert healthcare providers when
problems arise. Wearables and other IoT options
offer portable diagnostic tools wherever the
patient is, thus reducing the need for office visits
and extended hospital stays. Social media offers
communities of support and knowledge around
various health concerns allowing the patient to
further take control of their care options.
These advances allow for the collaboration of all
stakeholders for better care outcomes. By
lessening the dependence of where they are
treated, providers can meet patients where they
are to provide a full range integrated services
that are least disruptive to their daily lives. By
increasing the ease and access to healthcare,
patients will be more likely to seek earlier
treatments, interventions and ultimately greater
adherence to care recommendations.

6. Electronic Medical Records coupled with
machine learning based on Population Health
data equips the healthcare professional with
real-time data and trends allowing them to
provide the best care options to their patients.
Further, IoT devices allow for remote monitoring
and reporting assuring the doctor he has current
stats on his patients regardless of where they are
recovering. Video conferencing with the
patient allows the provider to see and hear how
the patient is responding to the treatment plan
without scheduling an expensive in-person visit.
No waiting room time, no forms to fill out -
resulting in happier patients more likely to
adhere to the prescribed treatment plan.
AI & Machine Learning to fill the knowledge
gaps for better outcomes. Population health
data and the latest medical advances and
research result in an exploding amount of data
available to consider when providers are
considering care protocols. Doctors are required
to spend an inordinate amount of time reading
medicals journals and researching clinical trials.
AI will allow computers to compile the most
relevant data and put this information at
doctors' fingertips with a simple search. With the
latest real-time data, doctors and patients will
be able to make informed decisions as to the
best approach for that patient.
Video conferencing will allow doctors to consult
with peers from around the world to close
knowledge gaps, share emerging expertise and
improve population health outcomes. EHRs and
cloud-supported data centers will allow
healthcare providers access to real-time patient
data from anywhere there is WIFI. Wearables
and other forms of IoT will allow patients to be
monitored remotely and in real-time, lessening
the need for extended inpatient stays.
PROVIDERS ARE MORE EFFICIENTLY ABLE TO MANAGE THEIR
WORKLOADS

7. Digital transformation and a shift to a valued-
care approach are changing the healthcare
landscape for the better. Payers and providers
understand it is more effective to help you stay
healthy than to allow conditions to advance to
the stage where hospitalization is the only
option. Many chronic diseases can be offset or
progression delayed with lifestyle changes
supported by wellness programs.
For example, a pre-diabetic patient who is
showing early symptoms can be offered a
wellness program focused on nutrition and
exercise, which has shown to greatly reduce
disease progression. This empowers the patient
with tools to manage their health, keeps them
healthier and hopefully out of the hospital. This
approach has proven to realize considerable
cost savings to payers as opposed to if the
patient were to develop diabetes and the
resulting treatment options then required. Early
intervention allows the patient to continue with
his daily activities, remain at home, remain at
work, and be statistically happier overall.
The shift to a value care approach coupled
with digital advances is resulting in a new
healthcare landscape. While the need for
hospitals will continue to exist - the care of more
and more
The shift to a value care approach coupled
with digital advances is resulting in a new
healthcare landscape. While the need for
hospitals will continue to exist - the care of more
and more patients will shift to local, smaller,
specialty facilities supported by eHealth
advances. Digital Health technologies will
enhance the communications between
patients, providers, and payers by allowing for
remote monitoring, real-time data collection
and the elimination of the paper-intensive,
data silos of the current legacy systems.
PAYERS ARE FOCUSED ON KEEPING YOU HEALTHY

8. As stated, traditional hospitals will continue to
exist for acute care. But healthcare’s
dependence on them will lessen. In the new
digitally enhanced environment, care will be
offered in the most efficient environment. If
remote monitoring and in-home care allow a
patient to remain at home, it benefits both the
patient and the healthcare system. Location of
care will become a consideration of
convenience, patient choice, and support
services. As long as the local facility is digitally
connected to the medical expertise necessary
to support your care in real-time, patients can
be treated either at home in a conveniently
located local facility.
The new landscape will be comprised of
outpatient clinics, same-day surgery centers,
free-standing emergency rooms and micro-
hospitals (typically, eight beds or less). This new
environment will offer a cost-effective approach
to supporting rural communities and other areas
where a full-blown hospital is prohibitive.
Furthermore, house calls may no longer be a
thing of the past.
Whether it is sending a healthcare provider to
patient’s location or chatting with your doctor
on FaceTime, patients can receive quality care
without ever leaving the comfort of their home.
The need for forms and onerous paperwork will
be replaced by electronic bracelets or other
digital tools that will capture the patient's entire
health history and current medical status. By
eliminating the administrative aspect of
treatment, the patient experience will be all
about care. The future of healthcare is mobile,
personalized, and user-friendly.

10. Patients will receive greater care and be more
involved in their care options through informed
and continued feedback from their providers.
They will have the ability to be monitored in real-
time allowing for earlier medical intervention
should a problem arise. And should they require
more intensive care, they will be able to leave
the hospital environment sooner and
convalesce in the familiar surroundings of their
own home.
Providers will have access to real-time patient
data from which to make better care decisions.
They will have a more efficient avenue to
communicate with patients for feedback and
monitoring. This will allow them to track
treatment protocol compliance and overall
patient recovery more efficiently. Through
artificial intelligence and population health
data, they will be apprised of developing trends
and the latest protocols to fill in knowledge gaps
and allow them to offer better care options.
Lastly, payers will benefit by embracing value-
care initiatives that will offer wellness and
intervention programs to patients identified by
population health statistics. Shorter, more
productive hospital stays will result in cost savings
and greater patient satisfaction. Greater data
transparency coupled with machine learning
will reduce fraud and waste.
Together, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence are
building a new healthcare landscape.
