Over the past few years, Ericsson and partners have been involved in the TM Forum Digital Health Catalyst project, which aims to explore the ways that communications service providers can collaborate with health care stakeholders to improve the end-user health care experience.
At this year’s TM Forum Live! in Nice, France, we’ll be unveiling and demonstrating the next evolution of the Digital Health Catalyst project, which further leverages connected devices to take health care out of the home and bring connected care anywhere.
Healthcare Anywhere
The first use case we developed with the Digital Health Catalyst project revolved around care at home – making sure that customers and health care providers can ensure quality of care by using IoT principles to better connect patients, their families, health care providers, insurance companies, government health agencies, and other stakeholders. Phase 2 expanded on this concept, leveraging data from connected devices to assess patient well-being and combat senior loneliness without intrusion into the patient’s life.
The most recent development in the Digital Health Catalyst expands the scope of digital health services even further: health care doesn’t just happen in the home, and patients, healthcare and insurance providers, and other stakeholders will to be able to enjoy and deliver the same quality of care even when the patient is out and about.
The Digital Health Catalyst makes use of a digital ecosystem to expose functional and TM forum APIs. It involves a number of partners and solvers responsible for ensuring long-term data collection, privacy and security, all powered by Ericsson’s Service Innovation Framework.
By exploiting this digital ecosystem, we’ve demonstrated that it’s possible to marry health industry capabilities with communications services providers’ networks in order to significantly improve the quality of care and patient well-being.
