Examples of this class of application:  data driven  event driven  location based  hybrid and cross industry * Common characteristic of these solutions and applications are that they depend upon timely data feeds to and from devices which map phenomena directly from the physical world into digital representations. Creating the pipeline of real world* data

9. © 2008 IBM Corporation 9 Global Village InitiativeFebruary 2008 WHY BECOME ON DEMAND: An issue increasingly faced by healthcare providers is the growing difficulty and cost of preventing, rather than treating, hypertension and falls in the elderly. Storstrøms ErhvervsCenter (SEC) - in collaboration with regional public and local private healthcare providers - wanted to explore the potential and challenges of using pervasive computing to monitor high-risk elderly individuals. A successful demonstration would not only help practitioners tackle the issue of hypertension and fall prevention, but could help establish the value of pervasive computing in reducing healthcare costs related to these medical issues. SOLUTION: Storstrøms ErhvervsCenter worked with IBM and local healthcare providers to create a predictive health monitoring system. By combining advanced telemetry technology with leading edge practices in other industries, SEC laid the groundwork for a whole new way of managing chronic illnesses among the elderly. The data from bluetooth devices worn by the patients was collected by IBM Personal Care Connect (PCC) – a custom-designed, WebSphere-based solution – and sent to healthcare providers who then used it in treating their patients. BENEFITS:  The pilot showed that over 10 years, a government using the solutions could realize €90 to 100 million in savings from the prevention of fall-related deaths and €20 to 25 million in savings for deaths related to hypertension  Improved quality of life for elderly citizens  More efficient allocation of scarce healthcare resources “The work we achieved with IBM provides clear evidence that remote predictive monitoring of chronic medical conditions can help healthcare organizations deliver better outcomes while achieving a whole level of resource efficiency.” – Ann Roldan, Project Manager, Storstrøms ErhvervsCenter Storstr ø ms ErhvervsCenter (SEC) Laying the foundation for a new model of elderly at-home healthcare EXTERNAL
