Challenges in healthcare
We have a growing number of chronic disease patients (diabetes, cardiovascular, asthma etc)
National healthcare systems face increasing costs and serious financial and budgetary problems
Patients (and healthy people) become proactive, health-conscious and seek individual, personalized healthcare
Mobility of people in Europe is increasing
Wouldn’t it be nice ...
To have the same level of healthcare while continuing a normal active life, instead of being stranded at the hospital?
To maintain a high quality-of-life, inspite of having a chronic disease?
To have your health status monitored without having to go to a health center?
To be able to give patients the most (cost) efficient therapy and support?
Try to make the dream come true: MobiHealth targets
Development of new m-health services and methodologies for their evaluation
Integration of a generic m-health Body Area Network (BAN)
Validation of GPRS and UMTS networks for m-health services via large scale trials
Validation of the accuracy of measurements and data capture
Validation of medical, social/ethical and economic advantages of the new m-health applications
