 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.
