Future Medicine
Patient-centered, physician-directed teams
Value-driven: high quality at lowest cost
Connected and integrated – culturally and
digitally
Delivers measurable quality health care
Data management – health tracking, records,
data mining
Innovation: • Needs oriented
• Un-predictability
• Complexity – cross
disciplinary
• Time limited
• Disruptive
• Fanatical commitment
Drivers:
• Ageing population
• Rise in chronic diseases
• Shortage of health workers
• Shift from Independence to Interdependence
Big Data will get even Bigger
• Healthcare data (records, profile, images, fitness data…)
will grow exponentially with increased digitization
• Need for game-changing products and services portfolios
for big data management
• Increasingly customized and in real-time
Health Centric Devices and Digital Health • Rise of connected health with increased
fitness awareness
• Web portals will enable healthcare
agencies to remotely manage thousands
of wireless health devices
