As Comcast Talks Telehealth, Mobile Medical Ventures Accelerate Deployment

December 10, 2013

To punctuate the scale of the digital health opportunity, reports emerged this week from Qualcomm, Intel and Parks Associates. All touted the appetite and need for digitally delivered health services. (Indeed, if I have any disappointments about the mHealth Summit and trade show, it’s the focus on “mobile” rather than the broader “digital” health market. Many of the opportunities are not limited to wireless delivery. But when your biggest sponsors are Qualcomm, AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless, the organizers understandably stick with “mobile.”)

The Parks Associates white paper "Connected Health Opportunities for Service Providers” evaluates the opportunities for broadband service providers in the connected health products and service market. It identifies growing consumer interest in such services, fueled by aging baby boomers, health reforms and the expanding role of technology. The report cites broadband ubiquity, smartphone/tablet adoption and the use of health apps.

From the article, "As Comcast Talks Telehealth, Mobile Medical Ventures Accelerate Deployment" by Gary Arlen.
