Is mHealth meeting expectations
03/05/2023 www.tssg.org 7
Do we have unrealistic expectations?
What are our expectations?• Making healthcare more accessible,
faster, better and cheaper*
• Usability is critical
• Personalised solution
• Interoperable
• High level of data security8References in Appendix
03/05/2023 www.tssg.org 9
mHealth: Perceived Barriers• Funding
• Interoperability
• Regulatory Framework
• Security, Privacy, Reliability and Trust (83 per cent of people are willing to provide their medical data, if used for research and to improve their health. 80% of 211 diabetes apps it examined did not have privacy policies)
• Business models, patient care delivery model, how to charge
• Lack of clinical evidence
• Lack of smartphone usage by older population who are chronically ill
• Network infrastructure planning
• Proliferation of apps – where to start?
• 35% of people “do not know” what information they have access to 10
TSSG: Helping to meet ExpectationsInvolving patients, clinicians and addressing unmet clinical needs
Building SAFE compliant Software
Growing Ecosystem: Developing flexible architectures using micro services concept
11
Helping to meet Expectations• Facilitating greater interoperability
• Real-time data capture
• Seamless upload to cloud
• Data analytics in cloud
• Context based information capture and analysis
• Cross platform compatibility
• Usability User Journey (Patient Journey)
• Innovative UI/UX Design • greater personalisation 12
