What damage could a Healthphone do?

If Garmin can sell a GPS that can do voice too,

alas not very successful,

what are the chances of a health monitoring device 'that can do voice' too?

I imagine a ruggedized device with long battery life,

large + bright touchscreen, a decent camera, accelerometer, GPS 

and -most important- the equivalent of a Swiss Knife in connectivity: bluetooth, zigbee, ant, IR, Wi-Fi, NFC, barcode, RFID, ...

Should consider the device as a medical Toughbook, but vastly improved and much smaller.

I'm on the lookout!

mHealth is HUGE (MoMoAMS #14 about Mobile Health)

Preparing for MoMoAMS #14, jan 25, 2010, I made a modest overview of the mHealth scene.

Thanks to the great comments i got on- and offline, i was able to create the actual presentation.

An arm and a leg for

• The impressive organisational talents of the MoMoAMS team (in particular @mdbraber) and their expertise to produce a full circle 360° overview mHealth program.
• The insights of Nick
• The friendliness of Robert (sure we'll meet soon + frequent)
• A night in an Irish pub in the company of David (anytime! anyplace!)
• The relaxed coolness of Jeanna (don't want to play poker with you though ;) )
• The drive and optimism of Ivor (TOP presentation!)
• The style, 'gentlemenness' and creativity of Fabio (no one noticed Steve Jobs is a Fabio look-a-like!)
• My first psychedelic mushroom experiment in the company of Jen, joining me in this experiment (need someone to take notes!!)

Overview of non-invasive mhealth solutions + trends

Non Invasive Health Monitoring with mHealth

View more documents from Bart Collet.

Preparing for MoMoAMS #14, I made an overview of non-invasive mHealth devices and services.

Thanks for the feedback and the RT's of the community!

Special thanks to David Doherty (3GDoctor) for pointing me to several great companies in the EU.

Still have questions:

1. Is mHealth going to be a succesful export product of developing countries?
2. I have undoubtely overlooked companies and services, which are they?
3. I certainly should have incorporated mobile medication checks and alerts, any pointers?
4. If wearable solutions are the outcome, can i take them to the drycleaners?
5. If devices evolve from medical ones to consumer goods, will the pricedrop be sufficient to overcome reimbursement problems?
6. What policies are needed if everyone starts spreading and sharing information?
7. How long it will take before specific medical ringtones are developed (or even mandatory)?
8. Are hospitals and practioners ready to handle the amount of data coming their way (with current hard- and software)?

Love to hear from you!

DIY Telemedicine for at home monitoring

I think there's giant market for DIY wireless healthcare monitoring @ home. 

Call it a Nokia Sports Tracker framework, with additional health monitoring functions and professional follow up.

People with broadband routers can buy devices (fitness, weighing scale, heart monitor, glucose meters, accelerometers, ...) that interconnect with the router via Wi-Fi.
Companies can offer:

• non-expensive devices that are easy to use and install
• services/platforms for interpretation of the data (and sharing?)
  
• guidance/advice for end-users
• alarm-procedures/interventions

Simplicity = key

What effect will this have on government spending?
