Enabling Integrated Care:
Marketing and delivering interoperable personal health systems
Berlin, 21 September 2010
The workshop highlighted current trends and developments in standardisation and interoperability initiatives pertaining to the market of personal health systems and telehealth solutions. It featured discussions of interoperability challenges and opportunities, benefits for makers of personal health systems to adopt technical standards, and options to actively contribute to or drive their development. The workshop will draw on the experience of vendors, users and experts.
The workshop provided an interactive training for vendors and other makers of personal health solutions, providing answers to some key questions:
- What does interoperability of personal health systems mean? (The workshop walked through some simple interfaces and technical issues.)
- Why should vendors care? (Producers can lock some customers into their product families and solidify their niche, or contribute to an interoperable ecosystem of personal health solutions that enlarge their market but also expose their products to competition.)
- What can I do? (Analyse strength and weaknesses of own product portfolio and pipeline, and make strategic choices.)
The workshop dealt with issues such as technical standards in the field, buyers’ needs and requirements, market developments, etc. Various speakers offered vendor and buyers perspectives and share their experience.
