1. Home care and telemonitoring
• Elderly/chronic care– Ageing population, increased price of hospital
treatment – chronic care and re-hospitalization
• Home care – care at home and Care Homes• Telemonitoring and telemedicine• Social care• Primary care• IT for health care -> electronic health• ...

Care services

Home Care
Telehealth
Telecare
Healthcare Social Care
Telecare – service user to responder: environmental monitoring such as fire, flood, fit and falls in order to ensure appropriate responses
Telehealth – patient to clinician: vital signs and general condition monitoring such as blood pressure, weight, mental & physical state as an aid to treatment of congestive heart failure
Telemedicine* – clinician to clinician: seeking expert advice such as a GP consulting a dermatologist
eHealth – all the above* I include in this Telehealth as defined before
In the following are my graphical understanding of the concepts involved in Care Services, and also the Dep. of Health's definitions of the various terms used in this topic area (RSM web site):

Before
• Branko G Celler et al. (1999)– “Very few studies to evaluate the cost effectiveness of
home telecare have been published”– “Large-scale trials to compare quality of life and
healthcare outcomes of a matched cohort of elderly subjects … are required to provide evidence”
– “Implementation of home telecare will require fundamental changes in every sector of the healthcare services” … “and driven by patient demands for a greater role in shared decision making”.

Today
• Latest systematic literature reviews in telehealth: – “Although home telemonitoring appears to be a promising
approach (…) future studies should consider ways to make this technology more effective” Paré et al. (2010)
– “limited number of high quality studies with suitable reference standards” Martin-Khan et al. (2010)
– “There is a need for more detailed, better-quality studies and for studies on the use of telerehabilitation in routine care” Hailey et al. (2011)
– “All included studies suffered from methodological weaknesses” Anna Davies, Stanton Newman (2011)

2. What we are doing
• Medical practice and Business opportunity– Better care?– Evidence on health outcomes– The big guys – Who is paying the bills?

Technology that works?• Technology that works
– Video conference? Panic button?• Technology that does not (yet) work
– Fall detection, speech recognition, Integrated Care Services Platforms
• Users motivation– Are we forcing the elderly to cross the
street?

Challenges• 6 important challenges in the research field of
“home care for the frail elderly”– Who are the users? A complex triangulation between
professional carers, informal carers and the care recipients– Tackling inherent complexity of the elderly health
conditions (e.g. comorbidity )– Inappropriateness of methods for controlled trials– Lack of immersion of IT specialists in the actual care
settings– Incapacity of creating feasible business cases– Technology (solution or challenge ?) Addressing specific
needs of the elderly target group relating to technology usability

Possibilities for cruising safely to a new Home care reality
CRUISE• C aring scenario
– Who are the users? A fuzzy triangulation of professional carers, informal carers and the care recipients
• R elate– Complex health conditions of elderly - e.g. long term, comorbidity
• U nique-User Trial– New methods for controlled trials
• I mmersion– Lack of immersion of IT specialists in the actual care settings
• S preading– Addressing the incapacity to create feasible business cases
• E ndogenous– Addressing specific needs of the elderly relating to technology usability

C for Caring scenario
• Who is the patient? • We care for patients, but who cares for
carers? • “She is my granddaughter!”• Non-specialised working force• Multiple actors

R for Relate
• Relate – ”To establish or demonstrate a connection between”– Long-term effects -> unfeasible trials due to high
costs and difficult logistics– Co-morbidity -> confounding variables– additional outcome parameters -> functional
dependency scales (SF-36, International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health ICF, Short Functional Dependence Scale SFDS, PADL-H, Functional Independence Measure FIM)

U for Unique-User Trial
• Instead of small or large pilots…• create real services’ trials with ANY number of
users - Yes, 1 user is enough!!!
Pilots and more pilots...

I for Immersion
• How many researchers in this field have been in touch with the real care environments?
• E.g. GITWiC [Get In Touch With Care] give care hours in elderly care instead of money for CO2 compensation
Understand and
try to feel!
What do they feel?

S for Spreading
• Expanding service• Viral marketing – ”small changes in the
environment lead to huge results” Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein
© 2012 NST Artur Serrano
E for Endogenous• Endogenous – ”growing from within”• NO ”adapt technology to the user”• YES ”the user is the reason for creating the
technology”• Universal Design• The user leads
– When? The start!– How? Listen– How often? When decisions must be made– When stopping? Never

3. Where are we going?
How to shape the future by novel design of IT in an evolving world? or "How to be futuristic when all is changing so fast"?
