People don't like to be reminded they're sick. That's one reason why tomorrow's health gadget needs to look more like a smartphone than a clunky medical device
Medical device makers will need to be as innovative as consumer gadget companies to stay competitive as the market is increasingly influenced by the demands of patients and hospitals moving toward patient-centered care.
The demand for greater innovation partly reflects consumer interest in proactive health management with monitoring devices such as the Fitbit, and partly reflects changing incentives for hospitals and healthcare providers to be more attuned to delivering positive outcomes, not just billing for visits and procedures, said Chris Wasden, global healthcare innovation leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. "They're saying, 'If I'm only going to get paid for outcomes, I only want to pay you for outcomes.'"
In many cases, what this means is that the product needs to be more than a device alone; connections to websites, apps, and monitoring services become important. Even products such as pacemakers have wireless communications capabilities, which can be used to report data that can be shared with a provider's electronic health records system as well as a self-care dashboard for the patient, Wasden said. When providers are compensated on improving outcomes, they need to be able to document those improved outcomes, which is where device connectivity becomes important, he said.
I think that we're beginning to see this trend already
Most men do not pay attention to their health as much as women do. Compared to women, men are more likely to smoke and drink, make unhealthy or risky choices and put off regular check-ups with their physician.
Basis Science, maker of the wristworn tracker Basis Band, has raised $12 million, an extension of the company’s $11.5 million round earlier this year, according to the company.
The world of Big Data is one of pervasive data collection and aggressive analytics. Some see the future and cheer it on; others rebel. Behind it all lurks a question most of us are asking — does it really matter?

I was always convinced that social media are the tools in hands of patients to do more for themselves and bby so doing lower the pressure of demand for formal medical activities.. This proves I'm right. Imagine how many could be saved if we would follow this immanent policy explicitly!
De Michaël Lixon | 4 octobre 2013Le Quantified Self est un mouvement qui regroupe les outils, les principes et les méthodes permettant à chaque personne de mesurer ses données personnelles, de les analyser et de les partager. Les outils du Quantified Self peuvent être des capteurs, des applications mobiles ou des applications Web.
Il est de plus en plus facile de mesurer et partager les données de sa santé, de son hygiène de vie, avec les Smartphones merveilleux outils souvent remplis de capteurs de toutes sortes (GPS, Boussole, Caméra, Détecteur de lumière, Gyroscope, Accéléromètre,..). Il existe aussi d’autres objets connectés spécifiques pour mesurer son poids et sa tension au quotidien ainsi que des bracelets, des montres et bien d’autres encore.
Tous ces objets sont connectés via les réseaux (internet, wifi, Bluetooth, etc…) permettant d’envoyer les données collectées pour analyse, à des logiciels, des plateformes web ou à des professionnels pour les informer sur votre état. Et, en fonction des informations recueillies, vous pouvez être conseillés ou coachés.
On détermine 4 grands thèmes du Quantified Self :
Alimentation : régimes, compteurs de calories, alimentation et grossesse, …Activité physique : mesure de l’activité, cours vidéo (abdos, gymnastique, yoga, …), coaching, planning d’entrainement, …Conseils Santé et Coaching : prévention, arrêter de fumer, maladies chroniques, urgences, voyages, vaccins, …Gestion Santé : glycémie, mesures (poids, tensions, fréquence cardiaque, …), sommeil, …A l’horizon 2017, on estime que 1,7 milliards de personnes auront au moins téléchargé 1 application de m-santé et d’après Research2Guidance 2013, c’est un marché estimé à 26 milliards de dollars.
En 2013, 1/3 des personnes utilisant des objets connectés ou applications mobiles santé sont atteintes d’une maladie chronique (mesure de la glycémie pour les diabétiques par exemple).
Et vous, pensez-vous que le Quantified Self sera la clé du mieux vivre ? Et si oui, orientez-vous l’innovation pour vos produits et services dans ce sens ?
With healthcare providers under continuing pressure to provide better care at lower costs, remote cardiac monitoring devices are becoming popular and valuable patient care tools, fueling U.S. market growth expected to top more than 25 percent between 2011 and 2016. (1) The devices enable cardiologists to monitor patients for extended periods of time outside the costly hospital environment, improving their ability to identify problems and provide early intervention that can support better outcomes and reduce the need for expensive future care.
LifeWatch Services, a leading provider of remote patient monitoring services, is convinced that integrating the remote monitoring data directly into providers' electronic medical record (EMR) systems is becoming increasingly critical to providing cost-effective, high quality cardiac care.
Meeting demand for efficient care
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the country's leading cause of death for both men and women, costing close to $109 billion annually in healthcare, medications and lost productivity, according to the American Heart Association. With remote devices, cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists (EPs), specialists in diagnosing and treating the electrical activities of the heart, can more efficiently collect and analyze data on larger numbers of cardiac patients.
However, the ability to quickly and conveniently access this data and integrate it with other information in the patient's EMR is the true key to improving care, especially given that patients are likely to be treated by multiple physicians, observes LifeWatch Chief Executive Officer Dr. Yacov Geva.
"The tremendous expansion of EMR systems in hospitals and physician practices over the past few years now makes it possible to have a centralized repository of information for each patient. Interoperability between the cardiac monitoring devices and EMRs puts monitoring results right at the physicians' fingertips, along with all the other patient data," he says.
Interoperability streamlines both the ordering of the devices and the reporting of results. Staff can electronically request monitors, including durations, start dates and patient demographic and insurance information. As soon as a patient begins using the monitor, daily reports go directly into the patient's EMR.
Better informed decision-making
In addition to providing a comprehensive picture by consolidating the monitoring data with the patient's diagnostic procedures, device implants, treatment and follow-up, integrating the data into the EMR allows cardiologists to see firsthand any monitoring results they choose, not simply review the EP summaries.
