19
Telemedicine Technology
20
Disruptive telemedicine technology
21
Must be easier and cheaper than status quo
22
Designed for the everyday person (doctor)
23
Easy to use + inexpensive > features + power
24
You can’t drive disruption by spending a lot of money
25
Not a single product, several with a common theme
26
Complicated and expensive products will still be around
27
Thank you Brandon M Welch, MS, PhD @WelchBM /in/welchbm welchbm@musc.edu Assistant Professor, Biomedical Informatics Center, MUSC
29
Common theme Inventions that change the world are disruptive Disruptive innovations make technology simple and inexpensive -> available to everyday person You can’t drive disruption by spending a lot of money on expensive and complicated technology Disruptive inventions cause rapid change in industries, even affecting other industries While not comparable to start, as they become more widely adopted their capabilities catch up with and exceed previous technology Not a single product, several with a common theme Complicated product still available for specific use cases, but it isn’t the one that changed the world
30
Telemedicine is disruptive to traditional care Time Performance/Features
31
Telemedicine potential Reduce costs Increase access Improve healthcare Could change the world
32
Why isn’t telemedicine used everywhere? Complicated – Requires tech support and training Expensive to setup and run Limited to large healthcare organizations using grant funding Not patient friendly
33
Telemedicine is disruptive Going to clinic for simple
34
Telemedicine barriers Complicated Expensive Hard to use
35
When innovating telemedicine solutions Easy to use + inexpensive > features + power Simple Intuitive: no training required Inexpensive Leverage widely available technology (mobile, web, computers) Complicated and expensive propriety telemedicine systems are likely to be obsolete in a few years
37
Sustaining innovation Incremental improvements Builds on existing technology and process Operates within the existing business model Make current products better, faster, stronger User demand drives sustaining innovation Low risk
