Abstract
Personal Health Systems Technologies: Critical Issues in Service Innovation and Diffusion
Highlights
Healthcare systems face well-known challenges: rising costs, ageing populations, increasing demand, and shortage of health care professionals, among others
Service systems of Personal health systems (PHS) A wider systems approach takes into account the need to design complex architectures relating together people, organizational structures and processes and technologies – especially the information technologies, and other devices and software related to health and social care – and information
The concept of PHS is often collapsed into the specific information systems that are constructed to support new health and social care services, or even into the specific devices that are employed within these information systems, such as wearable sensors to monitor health conditions or behaviour patterns
Summary
Healthcare systems face well-known challenges: rising costs, ageing populations, increasing demand, and shortage of health care professionals, among others. Personal health systems (PHS) assist in the provision of continuous, quality-controlled, and personalized health services to empowered individuals. PHS involve a variety of patient groups, clinical specialties, technology fields, and health services. The development of PHS requires and can mobilize the emergence of novel cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral innovation partnerships. For the purposes of this article, we build on earlier definitions (Codagnone, 2009) of PHS, which we define as consisting of: 1. Wearable, or in-body devices that acquire, monitor, and communicate physiological and other health-related data. 2. Intelligent processing of the acquired information (i.e., data analytics), and coupling it with expert biomedical knowledge and, in some cases, knowledge of social circumstances and living conditions
