From Connected Health to Integrated Healthcare

Paul Fulton, Research Scientist Home Healthcare, Philips Research UK This talk is about taking reliable and affordable consumer health monitoring devices already on the market and building them into effective integrated care programs for the future. The case study is the EU funded ProACT project of which Philips is a partner. The project targets the increasing number of people living at home with more than one long term health condition with the aim to develop and evaluate a wide variety of new technologies in order to provide better home-based integrated care. Can we encourage patients to be more proactive in the self-management of their own health?
