a clinical perspective

2. Why Connected Health?
• Enables more informed decision-making and enhanced quality of care
• Saves lives through remote consultations, whether urgent or
diagnostic
• Creates more efficient, convenient and potentially more cost-effective
delivery of care
• Facilitates earlier – and more accurate – diagnoses
• Provides greater and faster access to a patient’s medical
history, reducing the risk of negative drug interactions or poor
response to a course of treatment
• Improves administrative efficiency and coordination.
• Allows rural residents to receive expert diagnosis and treatment from
distant medical centers.
• Increases timeliness of treatment and decreases transfer rates, while
reducing medical costs through video technology
• Supports real - time treatment by first responders through the use of
smartphones.
• Enhances senior wellness and preventative care through telemedicine
and remote in-home monitoring.

17. Moving to 4P medicine
Predictive, preventive, personalised, participatory
Classical
• New studies needed on precise patients’
Phenotypes phenotypes and follow up
• Systems medicine: Massive amount of patients’
data should be available (new societal
responsibility)
• ICT are the only way to collect and exploit these
data: new information management systems are
required, smarter monitoring solutions.
New We need this connected health to make integrated
Phenotypes care possible
