E-mental health – what’s all the fuss about?

Investing in the future

1. A culture that embraces technology

and partnerships

2. An infrastructure that makes the future possible

Two essentials…….

eHealth in the EU – A diagnosis60% of GPs using eHealth tools in 2013, up 50% since 2007. Much more needs to be done. The main findings of the surveys include:• Top performing countries for eHealth uptake in hospitals are Denmark (66%),

Estonia (63%), Sweden and Finland (both 62%) • eHealth services mostly traditional recording and reporting rather than clinicaL• Only 10% of GPs hold online consultations• Netherlands has (83.2%) digitisation; silver for Denmark (80.6%) and the UK

taking home bronze (80.5%)• Only 9% of hospitals in Europe allow patients to access online their own medical

records, and most of those only give partial access;• When adopting e-health, hospitals and GPs experience many barriers ranging

from lack of interoperability to lack of regulatory framework and resources.

mHealth in the EU – new markets• By 2017 global mHealth market will reach the equivalent of US$ 23 bn,

with Europe accounting for US$ 6.9bn (ahead of both Asia-Pacific and North American markets)

• By then mHealth could save a total of €99 billion in healthcare costs in the EU. The largest savings in the areas of wellness/prevention (€69 billion) and treatment/monitoring (€32 billion), considering the costs of the workforce needed to support mHealth (€6.2 billion).

• Mobile app market dominated by individuals (30%) or small companies, (34.3% having 2-9 employees) – huge opportunities but key risks around:– Data protection/big data/transparency of

information/interoperability/liability/equal access/reimbursement
