Many people say that 2014 is a year of telemedicine outbreaks. The use of remote technology to provide remote medical services, the concept of speculation for many years. But this year, with the influx of wearable devices, manufacturers frequently test the video of doctors in the field of video, 2015 will usher in the spring of telemedicine.
In July of this year, Dignity Health, the fifth largest medical institution in the United States, launched a remote consultation for telemedicine robots. In October, Google launched a new doctor-patient video conversation service; even pharmacies were incorporated, such as pharmacy chain sales organization WaLGreens, CVS, the largest pharmaceutical retailer in the US, and Wal-Mart, a chain retailer, have launched telemedicine kiosks.
There are many signs that telemedicine will really take off in 2015. By reading some medical-related research reports, you can clearly see that everyone is very concerned and actively discussing telemedicine. such as:
According to a survey by BBC Research and Towers Watson, the telemedicine market reached $27 billion in 2016, with virtual medical services accounting for $16 billion.
IDC shows that 65% of medical services are completed on the mobile side in 2018, and 70% of telemedicine will have its own app, launching wearable devices, healthy remote monitoring and even providing virtual health care services.
In 2014, more than one-third of venture capital firm Google Ventures invested in healthcare and life sciences companies.
In the medical field, telemedicine can indeed generate economic benefits and bring convenience to people's lives, which can bring benefits to insurance companies and telemedicine providers; it can improve the efficiency of doctors and reduce the number and cost of patients seeking medical treatment.
For example, telemedicine can reduce the number of doctor consultations by 93%, which will save consumers $103 per visit and $1,067 for emergency consultations. According to the study, 50% of doctors can provide remote services, and 70% of patients' electronic medical records can also be obtained remotely. In the ever-expanding telemedicine, the biggest beneficiary will be the patient. With the development of technology, patients can get faster and better medical services.
It all looks great, but can telemedicine really land in 2015? Not necessarily, this requires the following conditions:
1. Remote diagnosis combined with on-site treatment
Many companies provide video communication between patients and doctors, but the most important thing here is that the company can provide remote diagnosis and treatment services. Even if there is an opportunity to communicate with the doctor, the patient really needs treatment. Just as Israeli digital medical device manufacturer Tyto is developing handheld medical testing equipment, it can help patients check the health of the mouth, throat, eyes, heart, lungs and skin, as well as the patient's temperature.
These tests can be performed either through the doctor's online instructions or offline. Either way, Tyto is designed to allow doctors to rely on information gathered by the device to provide diagnostic results to patients. When such products become popular, they will promote the development and landing of telemedicine, whether through personal purchases or in medical insurance. With this, the patient can get treatment right away and help the condition get better quickly.
2. More connected devices appear
The healthcare industry is using a variety of health data, such as data collected by smart bracelets Fitbit, Apple Health Apps, and other fitness tracking systems. By standardizing patient data, combined with networked devices, health electronics suppliers not only reduce health care costs, but also improve overall treatment outcomes.
User-oriented video app from the medical software company American Well integrates user health data such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar and more in the video consultation. Suppliers should not rely solely on any technology or system, but should focus on a data model. This model not only integrates personal data from all wearable or networked devices, but also provides some evaluation capabilities. This will provide users with personalized telemedicine services.
