Telemedicine has been bullish for 2015 years or a turning point in the industry

December 29, according to the VentureBeat Web site reported that 2015, the telemedicine (telemedicine) market, will be an important year. In fact, the concept of telemedicine has existed for several years. However, with the advent of wearable equipment, the technology will usher in a turning point in 2015. This July, dignity Tiyatien, the fifth-largest medical institution in the United States, launched a telemedicine robot to provide expert consultation remotely. By October, Google launched a new video chat service with doctors. There are even telemedicine kiosks in Walgreens (Walgreen) retail pharmacies, CVS and Wal-Mart. Telemedicine will be developed in the 2015, for the following reasons: 1 According to a report published by the BBC research and Towers Watson, the global telemedicine market will increase to $27 billion trillion by 2016, with virtual medical services contributing $16 billion. 2 According to the IDC report, by 2018, 65% of the "interaction" of medical institutions will be completed through mobile devices. By 2018, 70% of medical institutions will launch applications, provide wearable equipment, have remote monitoring and provide virtual treatment. 3 in 2014, more than One-third of Google Venture capital invested in the health care and life science company pockets. In the area of health care, telemedicine will bring important financial benefits to companies such as service providers and insurance companies, and improve their operational efficiency. For example, virtual health can reduce the number of doctors consultation by 93%, so that consumers can save 103 dollars per consultation, emergency rescue consultation save 1067 dollars. According to the study, 50% of physicians can be consulted through virtual consultations, and 70% of electronic medical records can be done by virtual means. However, the biggest beneficiary of the rise of telemedicine is the patient. With the advent of new technologies, patients can receive faster, better quality and better treatment. It all sounds good, but will telemedicine be able to explode in 2015? Not necessarily, to achieve this, you need the following factors: 1 combination of virtual medical treatment and Field therapy: Many companies provide a communication platform for patients and doctors through video telephony. But most of these companies are only doing the best to provide virtual diagnostics. The patient will eventually have to go to the hospital to receive field treatment. Some mobile diagnostic devices, such as Tyto, allow physicians to provide more services through virtual consultations, such as on-site treatment. More of these devices will be able to address patients ' treatment problems and provide a better outcome for patients and health care providers. 2 Use of networking equipment: The health care industry will start using data collected from individual Fitbits, Apple Tiyatien and other consumer health tracking systems. By creating standardized patient and medical data and integrating such networked devices, telemedicine providers can not onlyTo reduce the cost of medical care, but also to improve the treatment of patients. For example, Anglo Company's application software integrates consumer personal data, including heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, into its video-consultation application. Instead of relying on a technology or system, the service provider should invest in building a data model that integrates and evaluates different wearable or networked devices, providing personalized, telemedicine services. 3 after treatment, the topic of the equipment testing system is mostly focused on the prevention, ignoring the response of the patients and not tracking the patients ' therapeutic effect in time. The opinion is a medical organization that provides consumers with an anonymous service that can get a doctor's text message back in 5 minutes. First opinion the position as a relational business company, and his doctor remained in close contact with the patient until the patient was fully recovered. Prevention and tracking should be the real goal of telemedicine, which is the way to drastically reduce costs. The service provider needs to know the patient's past medical history and to get all the new data about the patient and integrate it into the electronic files to track the patient's condition. In addition, it is important that telemedicine also consider patients ' existing health care providers, including experts, pharmacies and even family caregivers. If the above points can be achieved, the entire health care technology platform will usher in new development opportunities. (Kirk)
