Does that necessarily mean you need to rely on paper as your backup source. maybe not. Look again at your options for redundancy, mirrored sites etc. remember paper burns, gets eaten and can float away in floods just as easily as loss of data due to a disk failure....Tomhttp://www.healthcomms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-58820780950371434222013-04-03T21:18:46.079+01:002013-04-03T21:18:46.079+01:00Always happy to help Alex, drop me an email and we...Always happy to help Alex, drop me an email and we can set up a chat.<br />GuyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938257148740511113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-39677432768917398142013-04-03T21:09:12.707+01:002013-04-03T21:09:12.707+01:00Interesting comment on telecare systems being reac...Interesting comment on telecare systems being reactive.

It's been a fledgling market for over 40 years and still has not become mainstream, largely due to the lack of interoperability. Hopefully mHealth & TeleHealth will due better as smartphones embrace Bluetooth 4.0, the lower-power version. But still some fitness and medical devices use other wireless "standards" such as ANY+ and Z-Wave. <br /><br />I've written about interoperability on my own blog, including an article on the different video conferencing solutions.

By and large they are all likely to be doing similar things or similar services for the same people in the same houses. <br />But they, almost without exception will have their own systems using their own profiles or specific protocols. <br />In terms of resources this is wasteful, in terms of operation by providers and consumers this is very confusing and in terms of technology, it will only be a matter of time before one system "kills" another with potential dangers for the consumer or patient. <br />This is a general Internet of Things issue and includes the Future Internet and the Cloud in its scope.<br />In TAHI (The Application Home Initiative) we developed an Interoperability Framework Requirements Specification (IFRS) which looked very hard at this issue and is being standardised by CENELEC. (CWA50560:2010 IFRS)<br />In particular it requires that any object, device, application, network, and a whole lot more, all have to:<br />1. Be Discoverable,<br />2. Have an unique ID<br />3. Have a description which will include access and management rights, what system, protocol or owner they have. Thus any object can specify what can be done with it and by whom.<br />This leads on to the concept of an Interoperability Ecosystem where objects and systems can be linked by apps, drivers or connectors. <br />The Ecosystem needs to describe how the apps can be found, invoked and where they can be downloaded from and at what cost. It also needs to describe what happens when a specific app is not available and how it can be specified and created abd by whom. It need to specify the monetisation of the ecosystem so all the stakeholders are rewarded and users pay a fair price.<br />TAHI is becoming the Smart Homes & Building Association and will be looking closely at the Interoperability Ecosystem but also at all the issues around applications and products in homes and buildings from multiple points of view.<br />The point of all of this is that the issue is not just a telehealth issue. It covers everyone at home and about and unless tackled holistically will not provide lasting and generic solutions.<br />Stephen Pattenden<br />Secretariat of SH&BA<br />See our LinkedIn Groups and website at www.shaba.eu <br /><br />Stephen Pattendenhttp://www.shaba.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-80074299336446065952012-09-16T01:18:29.914+01:002012-09-16T01:18:29.914+01:00I suggest to look on the products page of ZigBee.o...I suggest to look on the products page of ZigBee.org and Continua Alliance to see the products being released that are interoperable across telecare and telehealthMalcolm Clarkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-4124919163906689462012-09-14T14:51:06.825+01:002012-09-14T14:51:06.825+01:00When we entered the telehealth (what we call telem...When we entered the telehealth (what we call telemedicine in the States) space, we decided that interoperability was essential. So all of our products are USB and PC-based. We build systems that work within legacy networks like Cisco, Polycom and LifeSize. Late this year, we expect to receive FDA registration for a cloud service that preserves medical images in DICOM format to a highly encrypted server. Once saved, the application will notify a physician that images from his patient are available for viewing. Using his smartphone, an iPad, an Android tablet or computer, he can sign on to the secure server from anywhere and view the images. This works for both visible light images like digital photos and invisible light images like xrays, CT-scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, etc. The physician can write a temporary report that he will finish later, or a final report that is saved with the images. Since he is only "viewing" the images, they are never resident on his device.<br />You might want to visit our Web site. www.globalmed.com<br />Roger DowneyRoger Downeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014505198096470802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-60371683363221372592011-12-22T21:04:47.127+00:002011-12-22T21:04:47.127+00:00It's always very interesting because people ha...It's always very interesting because people have used our services in a positive risking taking way and been able to ensure certain service users are achieving their care goals on their own. For example, the woman that gets a call to tell her its time to eat lunch and to make it - she is eating every day now and not relying on other people to help her. An immediate efficiency saving as they would have had to send some round to do it, but also she is much more confident and independent which is priceless.<br /><br />Then there were a few cases in the first year of me starting, where people would put the system in on top of the current care package they were receiving. This just cost them more money because it wasn't used to reduce care packages and maintain the high quality of care.<br /><br />Our solution to this was to provide a support package when a local authority purchases our services because although it will cost them a bit more, we will work with their teams and ensure they achieve the efficiency savings. It's in our interest that the service gets used properly otherwise we don't have the case studies to prove that it is effective!Telecare Technologyhttp://www.telecaretechnology.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-29283508579386684382011-12-20T14:01:21.531+00:002011-12-20T14:01:21.531+00:00We are curtailed, at this time, by the scope of th...We are curtailed, at this time, by the scope of the technology, the way we apply it, our social care systems and our imaginations. This is compounded in many cases by our perception that “wandering “ may be aimless and meaningless. If we start from the stance that the individual with dementia is moving and walking around with a purpose, this will assist us to find the appropriate, individualised response to ensuring that the individual can move around in safety. The best person to inform us is of course the person with dementia. Whilst this may pose communication challenges we must invest time and effort, if we are to ensure we get the right response to need. Sadly both time and effort is not always made available.<br />Locally we are using a range of telecare and non-telecare based responses. Yes the technology does have limitations, often due to reliance on the human factor to charge the equipment, remember to place the equipment in an appropriate place to provide alert, be available to respond etc. We do provide a responder service, although this too may be limited in flexibility as we have to prioritise alerts and cover a fairly large geographical area.<br />I would dispute that enablement is the new containment, if there is a robust enablement process in place, which is truly personalised. This is what we would aspire to, although as with other aspects of social care we are constrained by the human factor, across all stakeholder groups. Equally the telecare in itself does not collude with containment, it is the way it is applied by the professionals and carers within the service users care plan, usually on the premise of risk management/risk aversion.<br />When we started the journey into using technology to support social care we did embark on a major process of re-education and cultural shift. Whilst we did start this journey over a decade ago we still have a long way to go. However as the optimist I do believe we are making headway albeit slowly.Liz Sergeantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-48774623086240658042011-12-20T11:37:16.036+00:002011-12-20T11:37:16.036+00:00Response is still with family/friends/informal car...Response is still with family/friends/informal carers. Emergency Services - the clue is in the name - are there for emergencies and they see this as an avoidable occurrence not an emergency. We (e.g. Social Services) knew this was going to happen and did nothing to avoid it such as, as you say, contain the person - is the ES response.<br />We don't hold visual records; most of the people monitored have capacity and therefore cannot be forced back home because, after all, they are not wandering - they are purposefully walking. Meaning they know where they are going but unfortunately cannot communicate it to us so we don't know. <br />Ben's technology probably works great for those people that know they get a little confused at times but generally are OK. Where these technologies have been distributed en masse are from Local Authorities whose eligibility criteria is so high that the people that get these devices are passed the point of benefit.<br />In conclusion - great for kids; great for prvate paying occassionaly 'muddled' but not for the populus in this area. Independence at the cost of safety or containment at the cost of liberty - the choice is yours.MikeBurtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359019868486185185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939861491915897038.post-16700499129776463462011-12-19T23:52:18.359+00:002011-12-19T23:52:18.359+00:00An interesting point is raised in this article, ou...An interesting point is raised in this article, our Carephone Mobile covers the issues raised as comprehensively as we have been able to make it do so, a longer than average battery life helps with charging issues as well as an easy charge cradle, SOS neck pendant included helps around the home to raise awareness, and we have both a call centre that also uses GPS to track the handsets without the need for 'tagging'. As for your point about people remembering to take them this unfortunately is always going to be the case, as is charging any particular device, we hope that carers or family members will bridge the gap into helping users understand the operational requirements. I think that with a mobile handset being such an easily adopted technology these days the fact that a specialist 'senior mobile' like ours exists at least gives family members and carers an option to give wanderers the ability to gain assistance and vocal guidance at the push of a button. Anyway sorry to sound too self promoting of our product, I appreciate all innovation that helps solves problems and in our work hopefully we are getting there! Ben Lloyd.
