Problems to
Solve in
Healthcare
Healthcare Costs in US
Annual U.S. healthcare spending in 2013 was $2.9 Trillion1, the most
costly in the world. Estimated $24,671/year for family of four 2.
Annual U.S. healthcare spending is 17% of the overall US economy3,
where other countries are 8-9%.
Annual spending is expected to grow to 20% in 20204, due to:
Aging US population – 10,000 people turn 65yr. every day5
Increased life expectancy
Chronic health problems (Diabetes, high blood pressure, …)
Newly insured people with new policies (like Obamacare)1 https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Statistics-Trends-and-Reports/NationalHealthExpendData/NHE-Fact-Sheet.htmlhttp://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2014/02/02/annual-u-s-healthcare-spending-hits-3-8-trillion/

Proposed Solution: Triple Aim1
Enablers for this revolution are:
Pay for health outcomes,
rather than services
Patient empowerment/
engagement

Healthcare
Data &
Technologies
Traditional Healthcare Data Sources
Electronic Medical/Health Records (EMR or
EHR)– Biometrics, symptoms, diagnosis, lab
results, radiology images, medications, doctor’s
notes, patient instructions for follow-up
Pharmaceuticals – outcomes or side-effects of
prescribed or over-the-counter drugs
Medical Devices - blood pressure,
medication pump/drip, robotic
surgery info, imaging systems,
camera pills, etc.
Emerging Healthcare Data Sources
Consumer wearables - identify different states & duration in each state based on accelerometrydata. These may have bio-sensing abilities. Challenges include variation, missing data, and accuracy.
Genetics – Indicators to research and possibly predict/cure diseases. Challenges include ethical issues, government regulation, data analysis of enormous data sets.
Telemedicine – Mobile apps for diet/fitness,
med reminders, pre/post surgery checklist,
communicate with doctors, and many more.
Video doctor visits and remote-monitoring
devices on the rise. Challenges include
patient acceptance and doctor concerns of
malpractice.
How can we make this data useful to
improve healthcare and health of individuals?
Useful Data for Analysis & Decision Making
Standardize - data types and also data collected
Interoperable – to easily exchange data
Secure – To avoid data breaches with ability to
allow patients to decide who to share their data
Organize - sorting, grouping
Accessible – To clinicians, patients,
caregivers
Partners in
Healthcare
Technologies
Consumers of Health Technologies
Clinicians (doctors, nurses) – How to best treat their patients
Pharmacists – Ensure no drug interactions or allergies concerns
Technicians (lab, X-ray) – Ease to ensure accuracy
Patients – Understand health, hopefully to make healthier choices
Caregivers – Support patients
Health Coaches – Track behavior & results to motivate
Payers/Insurers – Confirm value and benefits
Creators of Health Technologies
Definition - Marketing, Research & Development, Regulatory
Development – Engineers, Chemists, Micro-biologists, Psychologists,
Material Scientists, …
Testing – Clinical Studies, Quality Assurance
Launch - Sales, Distribution
Support - Customer Service
Administration - Executive Management, Finance
Growth in

Opportunities
Digital Health = intersection of healthcare and technology. These are technology-enabled solutions for health, which excludes stand-alone items like medical devices and mobile phones.
In 2014, $4.3B invested in digital health, and 2015 is trending the same1.
Digital Health funding grows faster than other industries like software, biotech, and medical device sectors1.
Publicly-traded digital health stock outperformed the broader S&P 500 companies in the first half of 20151.
It’s projected that the number of jobs will grow 22% by 20222
