South Korea
The EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) entered into force in July 2011 and is the first completed agreement in a new generation of Free Trade Agreements launched by the EU in 2007. It is also the EU's first trade deal with an Asian country. This new generation of agreements goes further than previous agreements in lifting trade barriers.
- The Agreement eliminates tariffs for industrial and agricultural goods in a progressive, step-by-step approach. Only a limited number of agricultural products are excluded from tariff elimination.
- In addition to eliminating duties on nearly all trade in goods, the agreement addresses non-tariff barriers to trade.
- It also includes provisions on issues ranging from services and investments, competition, government procurement, intellectual property rights, transparency in regulation to sustainable development.
Trade picture
- The EU and South Korea are important trading partners. South Korea is the EU's tenth largest trade partner, and the EU is South Korea's fourth export destination (after China, Japan and the US).
- After slowing down in 2009 due to the financial crisis, trade flows between the EU and South Korea started to increase again in 2010. In 2011 South Korea reached the important benchmark of $ 1 trillion total foreign trade (close to 100% of the Korean GDP).
- EU exports to South Korea enjoyed an annual average growth rate of 7% between 2007 and 2011.
- The trade between the EU and South Korea is dominated by power/non-electrical machinery, chemicals, transport equipment, optical and photo equipment and base metals. EU records a significant surplus in trade in services with South Korea. EU provides to South Korea specialised services in such sectors as banking, financial and accounting services.
- European companies are the largest investors in South Korea.

Impact of the Free Trade Agreement
- Following the entry into force of the FTA in July 2011, EU exports to South Korea of products fully liberalised as from the entry into force of the agreement have increased more than other products. Exports of these products, representing 35% of EU exports to South Korea, increased by 32% (€3.0 billion) between July 2011 and June 2012, compared to the previous twelve month period. By comparison, exports of the same fully liberalised products to the world have increased by 10%.
- For products partially liberalised, representing 43% of EU's exports to South Korea, the increase in exports was 10% or €1.4 billion.
- Comparing the growth rate of fully liberalised products to South Korea with the "normal" growth rate of the same products to the rest of the world, the growth differential translates into almost €1 billion extra exports
The implementation phase of the Free Trade Agreement is now ongoing to ensure that the mechanisms used are efficient and effective in providing market access for EU businesses in South Korea and Korean businesses in the EU.
The Free Trade Agreement is put into practice through an annual Trade Committee, seven Specialised Committees, seven Working Groups and an Intellectual Property Dialogue. These different bodies provide an opportunity both to seek resolution of market access concerns and to engage in closer regulatory cooperation. For more information, see the User Friendly Guide to the Agreement.
Since the entry into force of the FTA in July 2011, the European Commission is monitoring closely the imports to and from South Korea in sensitive sectors. Every two months the Commission presents a monitoring report to the EU Member States, the European Parliament and the relevant industry associations on the evolution of imports of textiles, consumer electronics and cars (including monthly statistics). In addition, the Commission presents an annual monitoring report to the European Parliament and the Council.
A Framework Agreement between the EU and South Korea was signed on 10 May 2010. It provides a basis for strengthened cooperation, including on major political and global issues such as human rights, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, counter-terrorism, as well as climate change and energy security. This is an overarching political cooperation agreement with a legal link to the EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement.
An Agreement on Co-operation and Mutual Administrative Assistance in Customs Matters has been in force since 1997.
The EU has established a permanent forum for consultation, to allow for the EU and South Korea to share experiences and views on competition policy, as well as share non-confidential information on competition law enforcement with South Korea.
A more specific cooperation agreement concerning cooperation on anti-competitive activities also exists. This agreement was signed by the EU and South Korea on 23 May 2009 and entered into force on 1 July 2009.

Back in April Wolfgang Duerheimer said: "We need 1,000 seriously interested people to make a sound business case." He was referring to a possible production version of the Porsche 918 Spyder unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
Thankfully, only a few months later, Porsche has officially announced that they have received the necessary numbers of letters of interest from potential customers to allow the hybrid supercar to go into production. Porsche will even be preparing an official order book for the hybrid supercar.
A production version is expected to be unveiled in August at Pebble Beach where customers will be able to place cash deposits for their vehicle. Can we say, "ChaChing?"
In an interview with AutoCar, a Porsche source said: "The car will be there, but product announcement is still in discussion. We are still on the way to finalizing the figures. There is no one inside Porsche who doesn't want to build the 918, the response has been marvelous."
The 918 Spyder is powered by a V8 engine delivering more than 500 hp and three electric motors with an overall output of 218hp. The engine emits just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer and has a fuel consumption of just 3.0 liters/100 kilometers (94 mpg imp). Despite this, the car's performances are impressive: the sprint from 0 to 60 mph is just under 3.2 seconds, top speed of 198 mph, and a lap time on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring in less than 7:30 minutes, faster than even thePorsche Carrera GT .

i wrote an app that sync's local folders with online folders, but it eats all my bandwidth, how can i limit the amount of bandwidth the app use? (programatically)?
Take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/MyDownloader.aspx
He's using the well known technique which can be found in Downloader.Extension\SpeedLimit
Basically, before more data is read of a stream, a check is performed on how much data has actually been read since the previous iteration . If that rate exceeds the max rate, then the read command is suspended for a very short time and the check is repeated. Most applications use this technique.
Try this: http://www.netlimiter.com/ It's been on my "check this out" list for a long time (though I haven't tried it yet myself).
I'd say "don't". Unless you're doing something really wrong, your program shouldn't be hogging bandwidth. Your router should be balancing the available bandwidth between all requests.
I'd recommend you do the following:
a) Create md5 hashes for all the files. Compare hashes and/or dates and sizes for the files and only sync the files that have changed. Unless you're syncing massive files you shouldn't have to sync a whole lot of data.
b) Limit the sending rate. In your upload thread read the files in 1-8KB chunks and then call Thread.Sleep after every chunk to limit the rate. You have to do this on the upload side however.
c) Pipe everything through a Gzip stream. (System.IO.Compression) For text files this can reduce the size of the data that needs to be transfered.
Hope this helps!

How I tried the 'crack cocaine' of gaming machines
The government have announced major proposals on high stakes gambling, but what is it like to spend £100 in 20 seconds?Read the full story
The government have announced major proposals on high stakes gambling, but what is it like to spend £100 in 20 seconds?Read the full story
The Minister for Sport, Tourism and Equalities Helen Grant MP has today proposed new laws regarding betting shops and high stake gamblers.Read the full story
Tighter rules on betting machines are expected to be announced today as part of a government review of gambling policy, with measures set to allow councils to refuse a planning application if they are worried about the number of shops.
A poll by the Sunday People earlier this month found that thousands can be spent hourly on the machines.
Some 63% said that fruit machines encourage problem gambling and 56% want the maximum stake limit cut from £100 to £20, it added.
More: Gambling overhaul 'to target betting machines'
People can bet £300 a minute, £18,000 a hour, on the high speed machines and they are mainly clustered in the most deprived parts of the country.
The Association of British Bookmakers said in a DCMS review last year, slot machines "add to the vitality and vibrancy of the high street" and drive footfall to other businesses.
The overhaul of rules on gambling may include a change to planning regulations to let councils stop new betting shops open.
Under current rules bookmakers do not always need planning permission to open a new outlet.
Tighter rules on betting machines are expected to be announced today as part of a government review of gambling policy.
Companies may be forced to give customers using machines more time to consider how much they are gambling on fixed-odds machines that allow stakes of hundreds of pounds in quick succession.
Councils may also be given more powers to stop betting shops opening if they are concerned about the spread of gambling venues in their area.
The measures are expected to be part of a series of proposals from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to tackle what some say are "ineffective" rules on gambling.
Shares in Mecca owner Rank surged 8.6% following the Chancellor's duty cut announcement, which it called "an important boost" for Britain's bingo clubs.
Rank, which operates 97 Mecca Bingo clubs, said that as a result of the duty change it would be able to invest in the development of three new clubs and safeguard the future of a number of existing clubs.
Chief executive Ian Burke said, "By bringing bingo duty into line with other forms of gaming entertainment, the Government has created a basis for renewed investment and innovation."
George Osborne's Budget confirmed the duty on bingo will be reduced to 10%
Osborne's Budget for 'makers, doers and savers': Latest updates
Paddy Power's controversial Oscar Pistorius advert has become the most complained-about UK advert of all time, with more than 5,200 complaints so far, the Advertising Standards Authority said.
Paddy Power's controversial Oscar Pistorius advert is to be withdrawn with immediate effect, after the Advertising Standards Authority received an "unprecedented number of complaints."
The ad, which offers "money back if he walks" or is found not guilty of killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp featured a photograph of Paralympic gold medallist Pistorius, mocked up as an Academy Award statuette.
A spokesman for the advertising watchdog said: "We consider the ad may be seriously prejudicial to the general public on the ground of the likely further serious and/or widespread offence it may cause.
"We are also concerned that the good reputation of the advertising industry may be further damaged by continued publication of this ad."
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has launched an investigation into an ad by bookmaker Paddy Power guaranteeing to refund losing bets if South African athlete Oscar Pistorius is acquitted of murder.
46 complaints were made to the ASA about the promotion, which appeared in newspapers and on social media.
A petition on Change.org has also been signed by more than 115,000 people.
A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "Despite the ASA announcing their investigation, we stand by our decision to run this betting market and publicise it to punters."
New safeguards are to be introduced in an attempt to curb addiction to high-stakes gambling machines in betting shops, according to The Sunday Times (£).
Bookies will no longer be able to advertise the machines in their windows and alerts will flash up if gamblers play for more than half an hour or deposit more than £250.
The changes are being supported by Maria Miller, the culture secretary, to curb the huge amount of money being lost on the machines.
Writing in the newspaper, Ms Miller said: "We want a successful gambling industry but not at the price of public protection. Player protections must be made mandatory so that every bookmaker must abide by the new rules.
"I have asked the Gambling Commission to make this happen. In the future, these rules will therefore form part of the operators' licence conditions and bookmakers will have to accept them or not be able to trade."

The weather was extremely kind to me today. It feels as if it has been raining continuously since I arrived in Switzerland, so it made a really pleasant change not to have to wear my rain gear at all today.

So you hit the beaches, both near and far, all summer but that travel itch just can't seem to go away. Now what?
OneTravel is here to help. While everyone else is flocking to annual fall favorites like Chicago, Munich and San Francisco, you can stand out from the pack by giving one of these off-the-radar places a try.
Azores Islands, Portugal: While many Americans will flock to France and Spain this fall, seek tranquility in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean amidst the Azores Islands, nine islands governed by Portugal situated about 930 miles west of Lisbon. Although they feel quite remote, the Azores are a mere 4-hour direct flight from Boston and experience a consistently cool spring-like temperature year-round, with "summer" occurring from July through December.
Once you arrive, explore the diverse range of dialects, cuisines and cultures that exist there. Tour the only tea plantations in Europe, go hiking, whale-watching or peruse the islands' towns by bike.
Taos, New Mexico: Art-enthusiasts will relish in the 3-week Taos Fall Arts Festival taking place from September 24 through October 11. In a town where Mother Nature's vibrant foliage and warm sunsets are center-stage during the fall, local creative and literary talents come together to showcase their unique works in three exhibitions: Living Masters, Taos Invites and Taos Open. Stop by the Taos Convention Center, located at 120 Civic Plaza Drive, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily to view the works on display. While you're in town, be sure to tour all five of Taos' museums for only $25 with a Museum Association of Taos combo ticket.
Fayetteville, North Carolina: This summer, North Carolina got yet another reason for travelers to be drawn to the state. ZipQuest, a brand-spanking-new eco-attraction, was unveiled in north Fayetteville and is receiving favorable reviews from eco-adventurists. The 2.5-hour tour takes place 80 feet above ground-level across eight ziplines and three canopy bridges covering Carver's Fall, the largest waterfall in the central and eastern regions of the Carolinas.
Heidelberg, Germany: You can join in on the mass exodus to Munich for Oktoberfest or, if beer drinking amidst crowds is not your idea of fun, you can head west to Heidelberg, a smaller town replete with history and quirky attractions. The Heidelberg Schloss, a castle majestically perched 300 feet above the small town, is a must-see attraction as are the Old Stone Bridge and the unique works on display at the Bonsai, Ethnographical and other Museums.
Aspen, Colorado: Aspen is known as a ski-town that also happens to come alive in the summer thanks to the annual Food & Wine Classic each June. So, why should you visit Aspen in the fall? Fall is a good time to get reasonable rates on travel to and accommodations in and around Aspen. There's also the Aspen FilmFest, a five-day celebration of some of the world's best independently produced films and the filmmakers who birthed them. The festival takes place September 29 – October 3. Visit www.aspenfilm.org to find out how to purchase tickets.

Azores would be an absolutely amazing fall destination. It is on my travel bucket list for sure.

RELEASE: Improving School Productivity: People, Technology, and the Future of School Finance
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Contact: Katie Peters
Phone: 202.741.6285
Washington, D.C. — A pair of reports released today by the Center for American Progress show that the chief financial officer, or CFO, is playing an increasingly important role in America's public schools. However, the new research also suggests that CFOs might not be up to all of the challenges of their new responsibilities, with only 34 percent of school business officials report feeling "very prepared" to be involved in decisions around instructional resources.
As states and districts continue to face constrained budgets, the school CFO now has the important responsibility of thinking strategically about how to produce high standards with limited resources. The first report, "The New Education CFO: From Scorekeeper to Strategic Leader," details how many CFOs are responding to today's more complex fiscal environment by becoming what's described as a "strategic CFO"—a chief accountant and valued partner who brings analytic expertise to high-level strategic decisions.
According to the report, there is some evidence that the shift from CFO to strategic CFO is already taking place. In July 2013, the authors of the report partnered with the Association of School Business Officials International to conduct a survey of its membership and found that a large majority of respondents perceived their role as that of a strategic partner. However, the data also reveal that many districts may not support CFOs in those ambitions. In other words, CFOs are not truly involved in all of key school decisions and many barriers remain.
"When it comes to school finance, we need to focus on two pressing issues, spending equity and spending effectiveness," says Ulrich Boser, Senior Fellow at CAP and co-author of the report. "School CFOs are central to making better fiscal decisions."
The research makes clear that bolstering the role of the school district CFOs will be difficult. But policymakers, SEAs, and education reformers can do far more to give school CFOs the training and capacity they need, and the report presents new research and offers recommendations on how best to develop the next generation of strategic CFOs.
The second report, "The Promise of Education Information Systems: How Technology Can Improve School Management and Success," argues that management technology holds the potential to create game-changing transformation in education. Specifically, management technology can help school and district leaders make better decisions, run leaner organizations, and target funds to programs that help kids the most. This report finds that most school districts fail to use these tools to improve their outcomes and includes policy recommendations for how K-12 education can gain the same benefits from big data that many other sectors have.

Mining the Cognitive Surplus
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the looking-for-the-mouse dept.220
Clay Shirky has been giving talks on his book Here Comes Everybody — his "masterpiece," per Cory Doctorow — and BoingBoing picks up one of them, from the Web 2.0 conference. Shirky has come up with a quantification of the attention that TV has been absorbing for more than half a century. Shirky defines as a unit of attention "the Wikipedia": 100 million person-hours of thought. As a society we have been burning 2,000 Wikipedias per year watching mostly sitcoms. We're stopping now. Here's a video of another information-dense Shirky talk, this one at Harvard.

Ubuntu 13.04 Will Have Better Exynos 5 Chromebook Support
Published on 05 February 2013 02:30 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
Ubuntu 13.04
will feature better support for the Samsung Chromebook that's powered by the Samsung Exynos 5 Dual ARM SoC.
The Samsung Series 5 Chromebook is one of my favorite pieces of hardware right now since it's one of the first PCs using the
Samsung Exynos 5
, or more particularly an ARM Cortex-A15 SoC. The
Cortex-A15 is very fast
when compared to the Cortex-A9 and even some Intel x86 CPUs.
Ubuntu Linux runs very fast on the ARM Cortex-A15
and overall I've been enjoying the performance and feature-set out of this latest generation SoC from Samsung.
For any developers looking for an ARM development platform or any ARM hardware in general, I highly recommend the Samsung Chromebook as its one of the few devices in the marketplace at the moment to sport an A15 dual-core processor. The price also isn't bad (circa $250 USD), which is basically priced the same as the Exynos 5
Anyhow, Ubuntu 13.04 will improve support for this latest ARM Chromebook to run Google's OS. The Ubuntu 13.04 repository just received
ARM's new universal X.Org graphics driver
, a.k.a. the xf86-video-armsoc DDX. This is a generic ARM SoC DDX driver for the X.Org Server originally derived from the xf86-video-omap driver.
Samsung already provides in the upstream kernel its
Exynos DRM driver
for kernel mode-setting.
Also coming to the Ubuntu "Raring" repository is a "linux-chromebook" package for having dependencies on the necessary support packages for the Samsung Series 5 hardware.
Also bettering up the support state is the forthcoming "vboot-utils" package. The vboot-utils package provides the Chrome OS verified boot utilities required to sign kernels. This is for signing custom Linux kernels using vbutil_kernel in order to get them booted by Chrome OS devices without needing to change the firmware to ignore the kernel signature checks.
It's also possible we may see the necessary (closed-source) OpenGL ES driver appear within the Ubuntu 13.04 repository too.
This Samsung Chromebook status support update for the next Ubuntu release was shared on
Marcin Juszkiewicz's blog
, an embedded Linux developer and one of those working to improve the Linux support for the Google Chromebook.

4.85/5 rDev +3.6%
Just found this place last week by chance, and what a pleasant surprise it was! Unfortunately it was the end of my vacation so it made no sense to stock up on great craft beers.
Excellent selection here in a small location, with a very good quantity refrigerated. Hawaiian selection was alright, but the U.S. mainland offerings were quite good, with a few semi-rare items from Europe and Japan. Prices were in line with Hawaii prices in general. Female employee behind the counter was polite and helpful. I just wish I had found it sooner, and no such place seems to exist in more populated & touristy areas like Kona or Waikoloa (that I know of).
I wish them the best, and I'll certainly return on my next visit to the Big Island, but on the first day of my trip of course!

A must stop in the town of Hawi. If you are on your way to Pololu Valley, or taking the Kohala Mountain Road (awesome drive) to Waimea, stop by and say Aloha to the people at Lighthouse.
From my experience, this place has the best selection of craft beer on the Island. A few other places have better selections of wine and liquor, but in my opinion the selection of beer outshines everyone else. Recently have had Mikkeller, Hitachino, Anderson Valley, Sierra Nevada, Rogue, and the like. It seems to me, that if the distributor is able to get a beer here, Lighthouse will carry it. I did hear that they are the first on the Island to carry Guinness FES. I need to get up there, since they have now opened the Lighthouse Deli right next door. I cannot attest to the beers or sandwiches at the deli, but I have heard good things. Please stop by if in the area for a bite, and a walk around the quaint shop, I know I will when back in Hawi town.

I actually heard about this place while scuba diving the other day. Turns out that the guy leading our excursion is a part owner of Lighthouse Liquors. Anyway, my family and I (we're on a family vacation here in Hawai'i) stopped in on our way back from Polulu Valley.
Lighthouse Liquors is located in a clean, quaint, little store adjacent to a smoke shop, deli, and Mexican restaurant. The interior is very small, but not cramped. Everything was neat and well-organized, with the top-notch beer, wine, and spirits all occupying their own specific areas. All of the beer is kept in coolers along the back wall (i.e. all beer is kept at or below cellar temp).
The beer selection isn't too special by mainland standards, but this is the first beer store I've come across in Hawai'i that carries more micro-brews than just Sierra Nevada and Hawaiian local brews. Lighthouse also carries a good amount of imported craft beer from brewers like Samuel Smith's, Mikkeller, Duvel Moorgat, and others.
Some of the beers I spotted include: The Abyss, Black Butte XXI, Old Rasputin, Beer Geek Breakfast, All Others Pale, Mikkeller Black, John John (Dead Guy Ale and Spruce Gin Barrel Aged), Shakespeare Stout, Napa Smith's year-round lineup, Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Ales.
When I went to check out, the cashier talked to me for a bit about my purchase (Mikkeller Black) and craft beer in general. He seemed to know his stuff about beer, and he was very friendly to boot.
I really liked this store, and I definitely recommend it for all beer, wine, and spirit enthusiasts staying on the Big Island.
Beer prices on the islands are much higher than they are on the mainland, and the prices at Lighthouse Liquors are no exception. As far as Hawai'i goes though, the prices are reasonable.

Notable politicians who have been shot
Updated On: Jan 25 2012 10:25:23 AM CST
Take a look at other members of the House and Senate who have been targeted by gunmen.
Jan. 8, 2011:
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head by a gunman who opened fire outside a grocery store during a meeting with voters. A federal judge, one of the congresswoman's staffers and a 9-year-old girl were killed in the shooting.
U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan was shot and killed while investigating a controversial settlement called Jonestown in Guyana. Ryan and four others were killed at an airstrip by members of a group called the People's Temple, on orders from their leader, Jim Jones.
A presidential candidate and front-runner of the Democratic party, U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles by Sirhan Sirhan while giving a speech after winning the California primary. He died the following day.
Five U.S. representatives: Alvin M. Bentley (R-Michigan), Clifford Davis (D-Tennessee), Ben F. Jensen (R-Iowa), George Hyde Fallon (D-Maryland) and Kenneth A. Roberts (D-Alabama) were shot when Puerto Rican nationalists fired shots in the House of Representatives Chamber in the U.S. capitol. Members of Congress were debating an immigration bill when Lolita Lebron, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa Cordero and Irving Flores Rodriguez fired rounds at the representatives.
Sen. Huey Long, who also served as the governor of Louisiana, was shot at the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge on Sept. 8, 1935. He died two days later at the age of 42.

Global Healthcare's Three Big Forecasts: mHealth, Cloud Healthcare, and Regulator Environments
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 09 Dec 2013
A new market research report, based on a 2013 growth survey, identified major areas of eHealth technology and integration with other businesses.
Frost & Sullivan (Mountain View, CA, USA), an international growth consultancy company, reported in December 2013 its three big predictions for the global healthcare market. Based on a "2013 Search for Growth" survey, which involved 1,835 executives in more than 40 countries worldwide, Frost & Sullivan's insight highlighted new fields of growth and stated that mHealth (mobile health), the cloud in healthcare, and regulatory environments will be the major themes in 2014 and beyond.
"Frost & Sullivan's research team has used the findings to select and prioritize the subjects that are deemed to be poised for the greatest growth," explained Frost & Sullivan partner Dorman Followwill. "The insight has also been essential in unveiling the business outlook for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and medical devices, as well as to provide a global perspective on the industry's geographic hot spots.
mHealth expansion has been fuelled by the unprecedented spread of mobile technologies, as well as further developments in their novel application to address health priorities. It is mostly supported by mobile devices, such as mobile phones, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other wireless devices. The penetration outlook of mHealth technologies is significant in the following areas: wireless vital signs monitoring, location-aware telemonitoring systems, and Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled health trackers. It is a promising area of opportunity for healthcare growth and it will provide novel systems for participants and for both providers and patients across the spectrum.
Furthermore, as more healthcare information technology (IT) and patient monitoring tools are incorporated, every hospital facility will ultimately have to acquire a fully-enterprise wireless solution. The most innovative mobile healthcare solutions that best meet pressing healthcare needs will be adopted as the gold standard.
Enterprise-wide healthcare informatics will also improve the quality of medical services and efficiency of operations while slashing costs. Cloud computing is considered to be an essential enabler for enterprise-wide systems. Implementing cloud computing technologies correctly will help healthcare providers improve the quality of medical services and the effectiveness of operations, share data across geographic locations, and manage costs. The model can be applied in a range of ways, including data storage and data loss prevention, maintaining patient information records and authorized sharing of information.
The benefits that cloud computing provide can change the dynamics of the healthcare informatics industry over time. The need for efficient sharing of information across locations in a synchronized way will be a key driver for cloud computing in healthcare.
As for regulatory environment, recent healthcare reforms and policy initiatives across many countries have stressed the importance of quality of care more than quantity. In the absence of a sufficient proof of clinical benefit, reimbursements may become a major obstacle.
Overall, three big predictions may be expressed based on the survey's findings: (1) as healthcare moves towards a customized medicine model, companion diagnostics will change drug development and the marketing process of drug candidates. Combining biomarkers and drugs will result in enhanced therapeutic efficacy and safety. (2) The healthcare and life sciences industry will additionally consolidate in this decade, with many big pharma companies looking for alternatives to the blockbuster model. (3) Lastly, the increase of new technologies capable of integrating medical devices into a connected platform will enhance the functionality of devices, decrease labor burden, and curtail errors.
Other significant areas that have emerged from the same survey include cancer market outlook, remote monitoring, drug delivery market, patient and consumer engagement, eHealth medical records, dashboards, medical devices growth drivers, drug discovery research outsourcing market, homecare market trends, video telemedicine, and cardiovascular therapeutics.
Frost & Sullivan collaborates with clients to utilize recent developments that addresses the global challenges and related growth opportunities that will make or break today's market participants.
