Amdocs Launches Cloud-Based eHealth Solutions to Give Service Providers Fast Entry to Growing Market

Both solutions are device- and protocol-agnostic, which enables communication capable health accessories to relay data to smartphones, tablets or other home gateway equipment, which then sends the collected data to the Amdocs cloud. The solutions are pre-integrated with Amdocs Connected Home solution, a cloud-based offering that provides a rich suite of "digital lifestyle" home services allowing for market expansion into other home services (security, automation, energy, multimedia). The solutions also easily integrate to the service provider's existing business, operational and customer management systems to ensure an improved customer experience.

"Crippling healthcare costs, especially the management of chronic diseases which represents more than 75 percent1 of overall healthcare costs in the US, combined with increased life expectancy, is leading to a massive increase in demand for connected healthcare technologies that enable cost-effective, in-home monitoring of the elderly and of patients with chronic diseases," said Stuart Sikes, President of Parks Associates. "A number of service providers capitalizing on the innovative communication capabilities of today's digital life have already introduced connected home solutions and many more will introduce eHealth solutions in the near term."
