Medical product companies that figure out how to embrace and most effectively apply emerging analytic and digital health technologies, and think creatively about new risk-sharing business models, will be best positioned to deliver. Pharma’s Underlying Challenge The fundamental problem the industry is wrestling with is this: car companies know how to make a car, soft drink companies know how to make soda, yet drug companies really have no reliable way of knowing where their next products are going to come from, and in a sense, have to start from scratch each time – at least if they want to make radically new, “first-in-class” products that offer unprecedented, dramatically better benefits to patients. The problem is, these products are incredibly difficult to come by. Disease remains very complicated, and it’s exceptionally hard to devise a new molecule that durably interferes with a pathological process yet leaves the rest of the body alone; the technical risk, as it’s called, is ridiculously high. Not surprisingly, strategies that involve tweaking existing products, or reformulating them in a new way (e.g. liquid Ritalin, as Bruce Booth has discussed), remain popular because they at least reduce the technical risk, and may offer an incrementally – and often meaningfully — better option for patients (see here). However, an increasingly difficult payor environment is likely to make this approach ever more challenging, materially elevating the commercial risk. Proving an incrementally better product enhances value can be expensive (because it takes many patients to demonstrate a small difference in an active comparator trial), and of course, risky as well.

MyBreastCancerTeam is the first social network for women with breast cancer. Launched in September, the website sprang from MyHealthTeams, a company that develops social networks for chronic conditions and diseases. It also created MyAutismTeam. "By its definition, MyBCTeam as a social network is purely focused on connecting women with each other, who’ve been through breast cancer.” MyBreastCancerTeam is free to join, and users can sign-up with their Facebook account. The site also has apps for iOS and Android. Via Alex Butler, Stefano Viaggi

There’s something seriously wrong with a health care system that makes patients wait a month or more just to get a doctor’s appointment. Fed up with this information bottleneck all too common in the U.S., a new breed of “ePatients” is crowdsourcing treatment databases online and using mobile technology to access and share health information.
“People are recognizing that they can and need to take an active role in managing their health instead of just sitting by and going to doctor’s appointments,” says Sean Ahrens, a leader of the ePatient movement who was diagnosed with the inflammatory condition known as Crohn’s disease at age 12. His startup, Healthy Labs, launched a site called Crohnology last year that lets people with Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis record and share treatments--including medications, dietary changes, even alternative medicine--in a structured database.
“We are building what we think is a new way to practice medicine. We think software is going to supplant the traditional health care systems,” says Ahrens, who has received $167,000 in funding from Y Combinator and Start Fund. Unlike Web 1.0 patient forums and message boards, in which useful data is often buried in lengthy, free-form posts, Crohnology presents treatment reviews in a structured format that makes it easy to see how others are managing their condition and how well it’s working. The site’s 2,000 members can also rate via text message how they’re feeling every day on a scale of 1 to 100, in order to create their own personal health graph. In the question and answer area of the site, people pose questions like, “Are you the first person in your family to have Crohn’s or colitis?” and “What has been the greatest gift of having Crohn’s and colitis?”
Other ePatient networks are well under way. MyHealthTeams and DiabetesMine provide similar information-sharing services for people with autism and diabetes, respectively. The personal genomics firm 23andMe, which is seeking FDA approval for its $299 gene screens, lets people learn about health risks they may have inherited. Meanwhile, Healthy Labs plans to launch communities in the future for people with multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia.
“In 10 years, the idea of going down to your doctor’s office for a visit is going to feel as foreign as going to the video store to get a VHS tape,” says Ahrens, who adds, “A doctor’s skill level is pretty highly correlated with the number of cases they have seen. What if you could have a system that has seen a million cases? We are building a superdoctor.”

Les technologies de l'information et des communications (TIC) sont en pleine expansion dans le domaine de la santé aux Etats-Unis. Ces technologies ont investi le domaine législatif en 2009, quand le Congrès a adopté la loi sur les Technologies de l'Information de la Santé ou "Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act" dans le cadre du plan de relance ARRA de 2009. Les sommes en jeu sont colossales : le département de la santé et des services sociaux aux Etats-Unis a ainsi prévu de dépenser 25,9 milliards de dollars pour promouvoir et étendre l'adoption des TIC dans le domaine de la santé, notamment afin de mettre en place un "Electronic Health Record" (EHR) ou dossier médical personnel électronique.

A transatlantic eHealth roadmap has been agreed between the European Commission and the US Department of Health and Human Services. It aims to strengthen transatlantic cooperation in eHealth and health information technologies (IT) and will prioritise two areas over the next 18 months. The first is the development of standards for electronic health information and communication technology that will allow 'interoperability' between different countries' systems. The second priority will be to develop and expand a skilled health IT workforce in Europe and the US. The EC's work in the area is being led by its directorate general for communications networks, content and technology (DG CONNECT)...

Great insight and policy. It now seems that all factors for adopting ehealth in care for health are coming to place. We'll see what factors rest before implementation of it. Curious and thrilling !
