Open Letter from Andy Grove 
• The average American spends $440,000 
on health care in his lifetime, and 
$280,000 will be spent after age 65. 
• 50% of that post-65 outlay goes to 
assisted-living facilities and nursing 
homes. 
• Keep elderly patients in their own homes 
longer, without degrading quality of care 
a cheaper and better system.
Open Letter from Andy Grove 
• Using everyday, low-cost technology - the 
sensors, microchips, small radios you'd 
find in today's PCs, in cell phones, and in 
Bluetooth earpieces. 
• Endorsement and reimbursement by 
Medicare is critical 
• The savings achieved by keeping just 10% 
of the aging population in their homes can 
amount to $30 billion a year.
State of Technology

to install and maintain the devices 
– 54% would be willing to pay $1 to $50 per 
month for the devices and 41% would not be 
willing to pay anything
AARP Healthy@Home 2.0 
• Personal Health and Wellness Devices 
– 70% believe that devices would make them 
feel safer, and benefit family but, 80% are 
concerned about costs to install and maintain 
– 50% or more are concerned about stigma and 
privacy

Agency for Healthcare Research 
and Quality: Telehealth 
• Telehealth can improve patient safety and 
quality of care. 
• Guidelines for reimbursement of telehealth 
are necessary for sustainability. 
• Telehealth systems should be integrated 
with electronic health record (EHR) 
systems to promote continuity of care 
across clinical settings.
Medicare Payment for 
Telehealth 
• Medicare reimbursement for telemedicine 
or telehealth services is divided into three 
areas: 
– Remote patient face-to-face services seen via 
live video conferencing 
– Non face-to-face services that can be 
conducted either through live video 
conferencing or via store and forward 
telecommunication services 
– Home telehealth services

  3. The LeadingAge Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST) is focused on development, evaluation and adoption of emerging technologies that will transform the aging experience. As an international coalition of more than 400 technology companies, aging-services organizations, businesses, research universities and government representatives Source: CAST Scenario Planning 2011.pdf CAST’s vision of the future for long-term services and supports: that future will encompass eight primary components Holistic We envision a future in which all older consumers receive the services and supports that enable them to age in the place of their choice. This collection of services will include primary, acute and traditional long-term services and supports, but it will also emphasize wellness promotion and disease-prevention. Simplified The consumer of the future and his or her family caregivers will call one telephone number, or log onto one website, to gain access to a community-wide network of services and supports. Person-Centered The future consumer will be familiar with, and familiar to, the “onestop- shop” that receives his or her request for assistance. A “concierge”—who could be a trained case manager, service coordinator or health coach—will know the consumer by name and will have immediate access to that person’s medical and service history through an interoperable electronic health records (EHR) made available with the consumer’s permission. Hands On Some older customers and their families will be able to arrange their own services, while others will need the concierge to take ownership of their case and negotiate the community’s health and service system on their behalf.
  4. 5. Transparency No one connected to the older consumer will be left “in the dark” about that consumer’s health and well-being or his/her need for services and supports. 6. Person-Centered The concierge will follow up after the intervention to make sure that the requested services and supports were actually provided, to gauge the consumer’s impression of the quality of those services and supports, and to ascertain whether additional services and supports might be needed. 7. Connectivity The community service network would not have to operate in a vacuum and could be connected to umbrella organizations that achieved regional or even national scale. Despite these broad connections, however, the network would emphasize its local roots and would help older consumers remain connected to local service and social networks. 8. Technology Consumers of the future will view technology as a resource that supports human interaction but does not replace it. Following this philosophy, the community-based health team will employ a variety of technologies that help improve the quality and efficiency of its services
  5. Touchscreens and graphic user-interfaces “have made computing devices accessible not only to frontline staff that might not have the same computer competencies and skills as administrators and RNs, but to older adults who are even less familiar with computer technologies,” says Alwan. These networks have spurred the development of mobile computing and point-of-care systems that have “severed the tether, allowing (you) to carry the devices, roam around and have access to data … not only within the facility but anywhere you have similar wireless coverage,” says Alwan. EHRs provide complete information about residents, as well as their needs and preferences. These electronic records can reduce medication errors when they are coupled with e-prescribing, physician electronic order entry, clinical decision support, and electronic medication administration systems. Interoperability standards enable providers of long-term services and supports to electronically share residents’ health records with hospitals and physicians. “This is extremely important for the elderly, particularly around transitions of care,” says Alwan. Telemedicine and telehealth facilitate consultations via videoconferencing, transmission of still images, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education, consumer-focused wireless applications and nurse call centers. “Telehealth can be exciting, particularly if health care professionals are properly incentivized or reimbursed for the time required to review the data and recommend an appropriate course of action,” says Alwan.

CAST Executive Director Majd Alwan recently shared these suggestions with readers of Long-Term Living magazine
  6. 6. These systems allow caregivers to monitor resident behavior and activities and note a decline in health well before a resident becomes symptomatic. 7. Bed and chair alarms, and user-worn automatic fall detectors, have the potential to “reduce rescue time, reduce the severity of the ensuing injury and improve the outcome of a fall.” 8. A number of technologies address wandering management through use of radio-frequency transmitters, RFID (radio-frequency identification) devices or GPS (global positioning system) and cellular signal-based tracking systems. “You need to balance the safety of the individual and the concern of the caregiver with the privacy of the individual,” says Alwan. 9. Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) are usually software systems that staff uses to ensure and document medication compliance among residents. Automated medication dispensers are designed for older adults who can take medications on their own with some assistance. 10. “Thanks to intuitive user interfaces, touchscreens, graphical user interfaces, accelerometer controllers and the like, these technologies provide hours of entertainment and fun activities that have or may have a therapeutic benefit for residents,” says Alwan.

  8. "The cost of caring for the elderly is huge and will only grow as our population ages. Of the $440,000 the average American spends on health care in his lifetime, $280,000 will be spent after age 65.Probably 50% of that post-65 outlay goes to assisted-living facilities and nursing homes. So it stands to reason that if there were a way to keep elderly patients in their own homes longer - without degrading quality of care - we'd have a cheaper and better system.
  9. And we can do just that using technology. I'm talking everyday, low-cost technology - the sensors, microchips, small radios you'd find in today's PCs, in cellphones, and in Bluetooth earpieces. It's not too difficult to use this stuff as monitoring tools. Not to spy, but to detect trouble. For example, did the patient go outside to get the newspaper or did she wander away? Has the patient taken his meds? The same technology that brings us HBO can watch over the patient and trigger human intervention when needed.A critical step to make this happen is to have it blessed - and reimbursed - by the dominant health-care supplier to the aged, Medicare. Candidates, I hope to see a phrase in your inauguration speech that starts like this: "I will have Medicare define specifications for electronic equipment that allows the average aging citizen to stay home two years longer than today."As for affordability, Grove claims "As for the elder-care plan, the savings achieved by keeping just 10% of the aging population in their homes can amount to $30 billion a year."

It was marketed by PositiveID, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, and it received United States FDA approval in 2004. Its manufacture and marketing were discontinued in 2010. Privacy Concerns: Certain privacy advocates have raised concerns regarding potential abuse of the VeriChip, with some warning that adoption by governments as a compulsory identification program could lead to erosion of civil liberties. In addition, it has been shown that the VeriChip's lack of security features made it susceptible to cloning, which could present a risk of identity theft. Religious Concerns: Some activists, including Mark Dice, the author of a book titled "The Resistance Manifesto", make a link between the VeriChip and the Biblical Mark of the Beast. Gary Wohlscheid, president of These Last Days Ministries, has argued that "Out of all the technologies with potential to be the mark of the beast, the VeriChip has got the best possibility right now". Usability issues are particularly relevant for older adults who have limited familiarity with technology and for people with disabilities whose physical limitations may create challenges to routine technology use (e.g., when paralysis of the arms impedes use of a hand-operated computer keyboard, mouse, touch-pad or touch-screen).

Source: http://www.visn8.va.gov/VISN8/index.asp VISN 8 has the largest VA Home Telehealth program in the nation—using technology to provide quality health care in the comfort of a patient’s home. Besides avoiding long trips and offering easier access to specialists, this kind of care reduces emergency care visits, hospitalization, and long-term institutional care for Veterans—especially important to an aging population. And the costs are much lower. • In 2010, more than 6,800 Veterans were enrolled in the Home Telehealth program in our facilities. This enables patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, heart failure and chronic pulmonary disease to be monitored at home. Mental health conditions like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression can also be closely watched. • 100,504: That’s the number of Home Telehealth encounters between our healthcare providers and their patients in 2010.

Source: http://www.cadth.ca/publication/788 Real-time (Synchronous) telehealth involves the use of information and communication technologies (e.g., a minimum set of video cameras, computer displays, and a secure high-speed Internet connection) to enable individuals to communicate live (or synchronously) over long and short distances. Real-time telehealth could be an effective way to improve communication between patients and providers, monitor chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure, and support patients with psychiatric and neurological conditions in remote and under-served communities. However, uncertainty remains. Information about cost-effectiveness, access to services, resource utilization, process of care, and user satisfaction is lacking.

Source: http://www.americantelemed.org/files/public/abouttelemedicine/Terminology.pdf Store & Forward is a type of telehealth encounter or consult that uses still digital images of a patient for the purpose of rendering a medical opinion or diagnosis. Common types of S&F services include radiology, pathology, dermatology and wound care. Store and forward also includes the asynchronous transmission of clinical data, such as blood glucose levels and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, from one site (e.g., patient’s home) to another site (e.g, home health agency, hospital, clinic).

  35. One reason that health-care professionals are unaware of ASTs is that the professional, peer-reviewed literature to which they often refer for information and guidance does not contain a great deal of published research on ASTs or their interplay with health IT. Indeed, because professional societies often base continuing education and practice recommendations on accumulated evidence from peer-reviewed sources, it is not surprising that health-care professionals have had limited exposure to AST-related information. This gap in the scientific literature creates challenges for AST adoption among providers because many of these technologies have not been adequately evaluated in the field, and therefore often lack recognition from professional organizations (Wasson et al., 2008). Further, professionals may be reluctant to recommend AST use in the home for their patients because of the perceived and real lack of scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness.
