Internet plus remote medical usher in spring

Since Premier Li Keqiang put forward the concept of Internet plus, in 2015 to become the first year of Internet entrepreneurship. Using 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 water to contact the patient doctor video link this field, in 2015 will usher in the spring of remote EEG machine.

In July this year, the nation's fifth largest medical institutions dignity Health launched telemedicine robots remote expert consultation; October, Google launched a new medical video session service; even pharmacies in blending in, such as sales agency drugstore chain Walgreens, America's largest drug retailer CVs and retailer Wal Mart have launched telemedicine Pavilion.

There are a lot of signs that telemedicine will really take off in 2015. By reading a number of medical related research reports, you can clearly see that we are very concerned about, but also very active discussion of telemedicine. For example:

According to BBC research and towers Hui Yue towers Watson investigation report shows, 2016 telemedicine market size reached $270 billion, of which virtual medical services accounted for $1.6 billion.

And IDC shows that in 2018 65% of the medical services through the mobile terminal to complete, and 70% of the telemedicine will have its own APP, the introduction of wearable devices, health remote monitoring and even able to provide virtual health services.

In 2014, Ventures Google, a venture firm, invested more than 1/3 of its investment in healthcare and life sciences.

In the medical field, telemedicine can really produce economic benefits and to people's life to bring the convenience, can bring benefits to the insurance companies and telemedicine provider; doctors work efficiency can be improved and reduce patient home doctor visits and costs.

For example, the remote medical treatment can reduce the number of doctors 93%, so that consumers can save $103 for each consultation, emergency rescue consultation to save $1067. According to the study, 50% of doctors can provide remote services, 70% of patients with electronic medical records can also be accessed by remote. In the long distance medical treatment, the biggest beneficiaries will be patients. With the development of technology, the patient can get faster and better medical services.

With the remote medical need the following conditions:

Combined with the field of remote diagnosis and treatment of 1

Many companies provide communication with patients and doctors, but the video, the key here is that the company can provide remote diagnosis and treatment services. Even with the doctor and video communication opportunity, patients really need or treatment. As Israel digital medical equipment manufacturers Tyto is developing handheld medical testing equipment, it can help the patients oral examination, throat, eyes, heart, lungs and skin health, but also to measure the patient's temperature.

These checks can be carried out through online guidance to doctors, can also be used offline. Either way, Tyto allows the doctor to rely on the information collection equipment provides a diagnosis for the patient. When the popularity of the product, whether through individual purchase, or included in the medical insurance, they will promote the development of telemedicine and landing. With these, the patient can obtain treatment immediately, helped patients with rapid improvement.

2 more networking equipment

The medical industry is using a variety of health data, such as smart Bracelet FitBit, apple health applications and other fitness tracking system to collect data. Through standardized patient data, combined with networking equipment, electronic equipment suppliers not only reduce health care costs, but also improve the overall effect of treatment.

User oriented healthcare software company American Well launched video APP, video conferencing in integrating user health data, such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar and so on. The supplier should not only rely on any one technology or a system, and we should pay more attention to a data model. The personal data model can not only integrate all wearable devices or networking equipment, it can provide a certain evaluation function. In order for the user to provide personalized remote medical service.

3 provide post treatment services

Around the topic of equipment testing system are mostly focused on prevention, while ignoring the feedback of the patient, but also timely follow-up patient treatment. Tracking patient feedback to ensure that the treatment effect is very necessary. Such as for people's daily medical consultation and development of IOS application first opinion can in a timely manner so that the doctor respond to patient, and the patient for the first time after the meeting, still remain in close contact, until the patient fully recovered.

It is understood, the first opinion by provide a user can and the world can be directly linked to real time gives medical advice the doctor, 24-hour support users in the application to send information and doctors to communicate, and the use of doctors in the application of can in time is not limited to help answer a variety of general medical problems.

Prevention and treatment compliance should be the ultimate goal of remote medical treatment, but also a way to reduce medical costs. In order to achieve this purpose, suppliers need to understand the patient's medication and medical history, at the same time, to obtain the corresponding data obtained accurate medical diagnosis in telemedicine.

Finally, combined with all the knowledge of the patient existing medical data groups, such as doctors, pharmacies and even family care is very necessary. Only data sharing, resource integration, remote medical technology can get real development.
