Digital Health Systems could play a pivotal role in improving heathcare if a critical mass of reliable data were obtained (remote health) and subjected to dynamic pattern analyses to reveal (expose?) underlying key physiological performance indicators. The latter could help medical professionals (at point of care) or remote healthcare (home) practitioners with predictive and prescriptive analytics to aid in making better data-informed decisions or feed/update decision support systems.
Description
This presentation explores healthcare issues from multiple angles and proposes to focus on data farming to provide assistance, now, (within reason), rather than wait for perfection to be achieved in the distant future. The "focus" on data from vital signs and key metabolic indicators also suggests the potential practice as a healthcare service business. An optimal combination of purpose (to lift many boats) and entrepreneurial innovation with a healthy dose of determined leadership could result in an outcome which could improve healthcare, globally, as well as find gentle and flexible business models to pursue limited ethical profitability. The latter offers staggering returns (ROI) based on the immense wealth of poor nations, to harness the buying power of a combined population of ~7 billion people, if they are enabled to actively participate in digital healthcare services.
