Focus on Infrastructure to Support the Most Disruptive Changes to Healthcare

As we witness the remarkable and unprecedented acceleration of telehealth, our industry must harness emerging technologies to support new models of care. There is no better place to do this than from patients’ homes. How we provide acute and chronic care management, digital diagnoses, and aging in place services to patients from outside locations is now our key challenge.

Driving innovation with machine-to-machine and other connected devices relies on the development of new telecommunication standards, electronics and infrastructure, and a wide range of network technologies. Real-time information sharing, location-aware, and edge-computing methods will allow a vast range of commercial and personal devices to change paradigms of care.
