Connected health refers to a method of healthcare management that leverages technology for the delivery of healthcare
services or management of medical conditions. Digital technologies, including wearables and app, enables access to medical
knowledge, empowering people to self-diagnose, self-treat, and even head off illness.
Some examples of connected health include remote patient monitoring (RPM), decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), mobile personal
emergency response systems (mPERS), and telemedicine.
Enabling Technologies:
Sensors | Cameras | Data Analysis | Bluetooth | Wi-Fi | Cloud & Edge computing | Artificial Intelligence
Challenges involved:
Accuracy | Interoperability | Privacy | Responsibility | Payment | Regulations
Eventually, these challenges will work themselves out (mostly via tech) as connected health becomes the rule more than the exception.
Healthcare today:
The current system is designed primarily to serve the needs of healthcare providers, not consumers. There is opacity in the entire
process. Top-down autocratic approach.
