It is exciting. A number of technologies are coming together. Here is how we can provide Telecare solutions for managment of patients at home at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions:
1) Price of devices are dropping + they now are all coming with bluetooth
2) Smartphone penetration is sky rocketing and costs are dropping. Mobile is the future - systems based on fixed-line will disappear.
3) New SaaS-based patient management systems developed on buisness process management platforms provide flexible, low-cost (virtually zero upfront investment) and the ability via web services to connect it all.
