Care/m2mAccelerating your business

As a leading player within the Healthcare industry, you will be aware of the opportu­

nities presented by advances in machine­to­machine (m2m) connectivity, particularly in

the fields of Telehealth and Telecare services. You may also be aware of the challenges

involved in deploying these solutions. BusinessAccelerator/m2m

Across Western Europe today, it is estimated

that 30% of the population (roughly 100 mil­

lion people) could potentially benefit from

Telehealth or Telecare services. But with the

average age of populations rising, ever­greater

pressure is being placed on healthcare sys­

tems. Telemedicine solutions – a combination

of Telehealth and Telecare – are one way of

reducing this burden, since they address the

need for more efficient patient management

and effective treatment.

As you know implementing a Telemedicine

environment requires: concrete plans with

regard to contact and management of

operators; enabling different billing solutions;

and establishing help desk support, in addition

to setting up device­management and post­

manufacturing logistics across Europe. This

calls for the right combination of partners.

Taking the leadPerhaps you are interested in entering the

Telemedicine arena but aren’t aware of all the

possibilities.

KPN is taking a lead in providing significant

advances in m2m connectivity for instance

financials advances to support multiple

business models. These and other advances

are enabling the shift towards a ‘zero touch’

environment for patients, facilitated by

Telehealth and Telecare.

As part of its Connect/m2m portfolio, KPN’s

Care/m2m connectivity solutions offer exciting

new avenues for Healthcare industry suppliers

and distributors. Care/m2m also offers un­

precedented levels of support and flexibility

in entering the field of Telemedicine.

Imagine…… If you could promise your (potential) clients

in the healthcare industry reliable data on

patients’ vital signs, transmitted remotely up

to five times a day, enabling medical staff to

identify problems before they arise.

… If your potential clients’ Telecare patients,

wherever they happen to be, were able to

send out an alarm from their portable medical

device at the first sign of a medical problem.

Contacting the patient through the same device

would quickly avoid such situations becoming

critical.

… If your clients’ patients, instead of feeling

imprisoned at home, could move around not

only from city to city but from country to coun­

try, while still being monitored and remaining

within arm’s length of assistance.

With KPN’s Care/m2m solutions, you no longer

need to imagine, since all this and much, much

more is already possible.
