Data Revolution and Committed patient
New information technology allows existing care processes
to be re-engineered and care roles to be redefined. Patients
will become more active in both their treatment and care
management. The use of social media in healthcare is part of
this trend. In this new situation, there will be just-in-time access
to health information even when we are far from home, and we
will also have user-friendly, affordable data management tools.
Data revolution:
• Electronic patient files
• Real-time data
• Electronic guidelines
• Portals for physicians DRIVERS
-> All these will result in better healthcare services and
improved standards of care • Increasing healthcare costs
• Skilled resources in short supply and unequally distributed
• Technical progress (not only in information technology) will be

solutions, for example, have already been used in Finland for
many years. New technological solutions can be used with
patients suffering from chronic or lifestyle diseases such as Type

and patients must be motivated to become active partners in

Increased Health awareness
People are now better informed about health issues and accept
their own responsibilities. In one way or another, they no longer
accept potentially unhealthy lifestyles and are open to new types
of tools, services and forms of nutrition that will help them stay
fit and healthy.
• People also seek “wellness” outside traditional medical
settings, for example through travel, by taking spa treatments
and physiotherapy
• Levels of physical activity and recreational training are
increasing
• Consumption of functional foods and healthy types of food is
increasing
• Health portals and health applications are widely available and
used
-> This means that consumers are acting as their own health
managers
DRIVERS
• Access to more information, services and tools increases
people’s awareness of their current health status
• Striving for wellbeing and healthcare with and without
medicine

Increased Health awareness
OPPORTUNITIES
Illness prevention has a long history in Finland and Finns have
developed many solutions in this field. This has resulted in,
among other things, the development of research-based devices
for measuring and monitoring human physiology, functional
foods, and even new forms of exercise such as Nordic walking.
We are therefore pioneers in this field, and this knowledge can
now be localized for new cultures and new markets.
Markets
Specific opportunities for Finnish companies can be found in
Europe, the US, China and South-East Asia

Integrated Managed Care
Integrated Managed Care is a seamless combin tion of inpatient
and outpatient care. Patients do not want to stay in a care
facility any longer than absolutely necessary, and hospitalization
has turned out to be quite costly for society. The point of care
will therefore be moved closer to each person’s home. For
example, seniors prefer solutions, services and equipment that
help them continue to live at home as long as possible. This
benefits all stakeholders.
DRIVERS
• Ageing societies world-wide
• When relatively wealthy “Baby boomers” reach pension age,
they are interested in downshifting and will invest more to
achieve it.
• Lifestyle-related diseases and chronic disease management:
- Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia
- Chronic diseases account for more than 60% of all
healthcare spending globally
