[Name] Terry Burgess Healthcare Solutions Team, IBM UK Ltd [Topic] Telehealth Perspectives: Delivering on the Promise In recent years the rise of telemedicine, using mobile technologies for pervasive healthcare, has made remote monitoring for chronic disease management a clinical and commercial reality. Most elderly citizens live with a chronic illness and most of these conditions require monitoring. Benefits to be gained through remote patient monitoring solutions include more effective patient recovery at home, hospital staff relieved of monitoring duties to concentrate on acute medicine, reduced costs, improved patient safety and patient-centric healthcare. The presentation will review market information including some remote patient monitoring systems, interoperability considerations, use examples of IBM’s national and international telehealth assets and will stress the importance of delivering on the promise of the technology through stakeholder alignment, effective delivery and implementation.
