Quick outlook around E-Health and will cover e-health ecosystem challenges, case studies and industry gaps, and the importance of low power and reliable sensors for better healthcare.

1. E-Health or No-Health
-Ashok Bandaru

2. What is e-Health
e-Health is the convergence of
“medical informatics, public
health, and business, referring to
health services and information
delivered or enhanced through the
Internet and related technologies”.
- The Journal of Medical Internet
Research, JMIR

3. Why is it required?
As per a Gartner study, eHealth contributes
significantly to:
• Patient Safety
• Quality of Care
• Growing elderly population
• Availability
• Empowerment of the patient
• Continuity of Care

4. Value chain

5. Importance of low-power and reliable sensors
• 10% reduction in hospital acquired Infections
• 17% reduction in adverse drug events
• 41% reduction in drug interaction errors
• 52% rise in patients with documented self management goals
• 7% reduction in average length of stay in hospital
• 48% reduction in duplicate laboratory/chemistry tests
• 19% reduction in hospital admissions for chronic conditions
• 83% reduction in medication errors due to mistaken identity

6. -Innovative, patient focused care
-Increased cost efficiency, Shorter ques
-Virtual heath centers will be established
(Like Mindoktor)
-Collaboration between the Region and
Innovators is key in order to get success
Region-Skåne – 2 Billion SEK in 2017

7. E-Health industry gaps
• Hard Design vs Soft Reality Gap
Financially and Medically Rational designs can be dominated by 'soft'
factors: people, politics, emotions and culture
• Gaps between private and public health systems
Health Information System designed for the private sector are replicated
in public healthcare which is not suited for the same
• Country Context Gaps
Health Information Systems, Health Infrastructure, Medical policies and
regulations are highly country-specific, causing migration issues
• Personal & Data Integrity
Patient data is top secret and need to secure in all ways

8. Case Studies

10. Baby viewer
Problem solved:
Affordable treatment for
mass population (Asia,
Africa & South America)
How:
Low cost high precise
sensors/medtech devices

11. Virtual Health Centrals
(Virtuella vårdcentraler)
• A tailor-made unmanned wellness
room, open round the clock for
residents in rural areas by NHI
(Nordic Health Innovation)
• Addresses the need to reduce
human intervention for routine
health checkups
• Doctors have remote access to the
equipment monitoring the patient
parameters, can also camera-zoom
in on any injuries on the patient's
body

12. E-Health Ecosystem Challenges
• Empowering the patient
• Managing geographical and socioeconomic inequities in
health
• Improving patient safety
• Shorter waiting times and better access
• Managing a new disease panorama, pandemics, resistant
bacteria, lifestyle diseases
• Further developing IT-services to support healthcare
• Population group over 65 years of age will increase by 28%
before year 2020
• Healthcare expenditure is expected to increase by 20%
before year 2030
