Tufts University School Of Engineering Tufts Wireless Laboratory Overview How information technology can help people manage chronic conditions, maintain health and wellness, and age with independence. Healthcare reform, payment reform. The spread of health phenomena in social networks Wireless tech and patient self-management. Future healthcare: remote monitoring in /26/20092
Tufts University School Of Engineering Tufts Wireless Laboratory Healthcare Reform Dr. Altman: 7.5% of US $75 billion in 1971, 17% of $2.5 trillion now Costs shift from federal spending to private spending Altman’s Law: Most every powerful constituent group favors health reform – but if it is not their plan, they prefer the status quo. Congressman Edward Markey: Independence at Home 10% of the Medicare population has 5+ diseases which account for 50% of the costs. We have to manage that, preserve patient privacy. 10/26/20093
Tufts University School Of Engineering Tufts Wireless Laboratory Wireless Tech and Patient Sef- Management Have payors reimburse, justified by economic savings. Change behaviors and delivering information wireless tech has to be affordable blurred line between medical conditions and wellness makes cost savings hard to gauge. Delicate balance between wireless solutions and adoption by clinicians and end users. Deliver the right information at the right time is critical for motivating the patient to adopt it. Old people need simple devices. 10/26/20094
Tufts University School Of Engineering Tufts Wireless Laboratory Remote Monitoring in 2014 Honeywell now serving elderly patients with very active disease. In 2014, broader range of patients with centralize system and ubiquitous devices. Meridian Health: new classes of devices, biosensors of “band aid” type using wireless technology. Qualcomm: change behavior around chronic disease and use connectivity in social networking and via healthcare providers to facilitate. Pharos Innovations: change behavior with software, demonstrate value to consumer. 10/26/20095
Tufts University School Of Engineering Tufts Wireless Laboratory Get (Your Home) Smart Smart house is the nexus of innovation, hardware, software and health information. We are not good at assisting independent living. System should include: –Physiologic sensing –Activity monitoring –Social connectivity –Home automation 10/26/20096
Tufts University School Of Engineering Tufts Wireless Laboratory Get (Your Home) Smart More tightly connect the senior to others and to be safe. Older people are interested in technology. 19% of 65+ have broadband access at home in % of 65+ have broadband access in Robots in smart home. Activities of daily living monitoring is growing. Homes need something extra to sell and older homes need to upgrade. 09/28/20097
