It is important that we determine the real clinicavalue of these disruptive technologies to the patient, provider, and health system. Whilst it is easy to become enamoured by the latest gadget, app or advertising based business model we need to remember the basic tenets of the Hippocratic oath. First do no harm andfocus on impriving the quality of life of the patient and their family. The value we want to measure is that we provide to the patient, not that determined by a venture capitalist.

Tracking trends or daily readings for those who have chronic (more than one condition and take multiple medications) - it could be a valuable indicator of their health status. One could contact their physician, early, if indicated. taking a physical once a year is not a very accurate snap shot of one's health.

Now is a great time (better late than never) for healthcare to entertain the idea of disruptive innovation given that so much solution generation is occurring through end users who, having experienced major challenges within the system have gone outside it to create answers. If we take a look at the origins of many non-profits and vendor based services, we find they are often built on a foundation of an individual who could not get their need or needs met within the system.
Patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals who live the day in and day out of healthcare have first hand experience with the obstacles, challenges and the what's missing. Many will just make do with what is, but some will ask 'how can I make it better?' then create a solution.
Even when outreach occurs and speciality areas like pharma bring in advocates and game changers to find out how to do different/more for the patient, there seems to a strong failure to follow through to next steps. Innovation requires more than new ideas. It requires action and follow through...but first steps - engaging in the idea of opening up to the incredible expertise, insight and energy out there in the patient and healthcare worker populations is a great start. |
