Telecare Soapbox: Twisted tender tendrils (UK)

October 28, 2011 | by | 2 Comments

Steve Hards Looking through my news sources after posting the above Soapbox I came across this. [url]http://www.egovmonitor.com/node/44360[/url] In brief, if Members of Parliament have their way, councils, the NHS and other public bodies will have yet another way to 'fix' the outcomes of their tenders to appoint their pre-preferred providers. Steve Hards, Editor Yet another source of scope for tendering mishaps (overlooked above) is the Northern Housing Consortium's (NHC) own framework agreement relating to telecare services, called 'Community Alarms Maintenance'. Unhelpfully there is no link to more details on the NHC webpage where you would expect it to be. [url]http://www.consortiumprocurement.org.uk/Page/CurrentFrameworks.aspx[/url]... Continue Reading

Telecare Soapbox: Leaping from a towering inferno is no longer my worst nightmare

October 3, 2011 | by | 5 Comments

Donna Cusano--Ed. Steve, about the situation you describe, it's difficult to say what would work to get you out of this jam or similar except for something embedded in your clothing or a 'double duty' object such as a pen, ruler, watch or other 'useful object' you'd carry having a two way voice, GPS, heart/respiration and/or accelerometer function. Remote sensor based monitoring to me has always been part of a 'safety net' that incorporates other aspects such as the 'open fridge' (hydration), bathroom frequency (distress), in/out of bed (pressure sensor), ambient sound and water/gas/temperature sensors. The problem is screening for... Continue Reading

Costs and opportunities of automated ‘we call you’ systems

...video below on the economics, opportunities and risks of the automated ‘we call you’ phone system that his company provides. The approach is the logical extension of the type of services common in the US – often called ‘telecare’ – where volunteers on a rota phone people to check that they are alright. FineThanx runs a similar automated system in the US. There are clearly opportunities in such systems to deliver, say, medication prompts at lower cost than sending a person to check, although an automated telecare medication dispenser may give more assurance that the person has actually complied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqUaeGcRXcg...

Health 2.0 NYC: Healthcare Kickstarter

...a real world problem (Monson) Partnership plays with insurance companies (payers) Understand that this is not a friendly process (Krein) Confidentiality, at least prior to investment, is impossible (Pietri) Overall, there’s a problem in backing of NYC-based healthcare startups (although online doctor appointment scheduler ZocDoc got another $50 million in Series C funding from Russian billionaire Yuri Milner’s DST Global earlier this month.) 2) How do entrepreneurs deal with providers who are ‘stuck in the mud’? These are especially hospitals but can be doctors, payers. Put together a ‘dream team’-people with expertise in business, tech and a designer (Krein) Understand... Continue Reading

Introducing Worcestershire TeleCare video: A guide for Customers (UK)

July 15, 2011 | by | Comments Off on Introducing Worcestershire TeleCare video: A guide for Customers (UK)

Editor Steve confesses to mixed feelings about this video. As a communication to customers or potential customers of the independent Worcestershire TeleCare Service, it is excellent: the structure, the pace, and most importantly, the ‘meet the team’ interviews are spot-on. On the other hand it reminds one how much of the UK’s telecare provision promotes the ‘stay-at-home-with-a-pendant’ mentality. It also looks like an advert for a particular manufacturer.
