The Digital Health Journey
ResMed is pioneering the future of healthcare with smart devices and digital solutions for each step of the patient’s treatment cycle. The company started on this journey many years ago when they it began to explore ways to access patient’s behaviour in the home. Then in 2014 the company invested in putting wi-fi comms in each one of their devices, so that they could guarantee reliable secure and accurate information from the home on patient’s real-world behaviour. Once that data was in the cloud, it offered the opportunity to innovate and find new ways to diagnose, treat and manage healthcare – both for the patient and for the care providers.
Jim has been at the forefront of driving the connected journey and ResMed’s business strategy to improve healthcare and create efficiencies in the manner in which it is delivered. And the efficiencies are many
- An increased capacity to handle new patients
- A focus on the patients who need support
- A reduction in the cost of care
- Optimisation of time needed to explain device use etc
- Easy access to reports for physicians and insurers
- A reduction in the need for physical visits
Jim will share his hands-on experiences of ResMed’s journey that has now seen the company become a €2.6 billion dollar business. Don’t miss it!
