Pervasive Healthcare
The global healthcare industry is facing a crisis in chronic
care that soon will be exacerbated as the baby boomer
generation ages. This growing demand for chronic care is
placing a tremendous economic burden on governments, private
employers and individual consumers, and it is straining the
capacity of skilled care professionals and nursing homes. Meanwhile,
technologies, like miniaturized sensors, wireless networks
and mobile devices, are enabling telehealth and remote monitoring
of patients, and redefining the new healthcare reality.
