| | October 20189Skewed ratio between caregivers and patients, rising healthcare delivery costs, quantified self or `ME' generation, move from reactive to preventive care are some of the most pressing market needs and trendsSome of the technologies to consider for this patient centricity shift are: a. IoT enabled Connected Health Exchange Platforms with strong device side edge computing capabilities and intelligent algorithm based processing engines b. Proactive, context sensitive feedback options to seamlessly enable holistic patient involvement 2. Provider Efficiency: Pro-viders are placing a heightened em-phasis on Quality/Care improvement programs. Clinicians need a better understanding of how patients are responding to treatment and what leads to better health. Hospital ad-ministrators are finding ways to en-gage patients actively to make them adhere to the care outcome. Some of the technologies to consider for this provider engagement are: a. Intelligent therapy platforms to monitor patient therapy outcomes with real-time access b. Remote and Virtual monitoring Platforms with seamless patient record sharing and interoperability capabilities c. Predictive analytics driven evidence based insights. 3. Social Health: Population health management is key to value-based care. We are after all, a microcosmic manifestation of the environments we live in. By effective identification, classification and management of high risk population, social health programs and chronic lifestyle conditions management, can be better targeted with a higher positive outcome. a. Custom dashboard reporting on patient population with real-time access to complete patient data and historical trends to have a targeted interventions of inlier population to save cost b. Population data analytics with social determinants of health, to provide a holistic heat map and dashboard for targeted management. c. Risk stratification and predictive analytics for identifying high at risk patients for lifestyle management. A combination of smartly integrated sensors, software and solutions, would be the way forward to realize value based care. Drawing parallels to the overall healthcare scenario, though there are many newer technologies, and mul-tiple innovations in healthcare, the strength of these systems and long term sustenance of these trends, is purely based on how they come to-gether in alignment with changing consumer expectations and needs. The investments on technology should not be a test of even I can do it, but rather how they can come to-gether to solve a market problem.
