Comments on: Connected Health: It’s Going To Happen http://brown2020.com/2009/10/connected-health-we-can-do-this/ Steve Brown's Official Site & Blog Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:25:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=7255 By: Patricio Quezada http://brown2020.com/2009/10/connected-health-we-can-do-this/comment-page-1/#comment-504 Patricio Quezada Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:07:38 +0000 http://brown2020.com/?p=2723#comment-504 I've sat at the table to discuss topics like this and it is interesting to hear what people know will work to what is actually used today. I understand that these large Medicare companies will suffer greatly but the survival of these businesses should not be at the cost of lives that could be saved through connected health. I've done a little bit of solution dreaming myself and I think that a MEDCOM or medical communications network would which clones the way the military connects amongst each other. This will all take time to come into reality but it's worth throwing out there. Kudos for the article. Thank you.

In 2007 basic in-home sensor technology for remote monitoring (telecare) moved demonstrably in the public perception from experimental to established/adopted. That standalone is now being supplanted/subsumed into other technologies. The same can be said for health management and PHRs--more connected, does more, lighter, simpler. I'd like to link to your post on Telecare Aware--please advise if this is OK with you w/reply to above note.

Dwelling a moment on your comment about grandma. . . I can only think of two people in my life that are not part of the web in one way or another. Those two are my in-laws who are in their later 80's. Even my 5 years olds have limited internet exposure sitting on my lap, hunting and pecking! Telemedicine is and will continue have a major impact in improving healthcare because it is now no longer viewed as smoke-&-mirrors or vaporware! Health education starting at an early age, my opinion, would have another large impact on improving our overall national (maybe global) health dilema, if it can be done. Thanks for you post and God bless. You are right on, Steve!
