I’m frustrated, and I’m not alone. This is about M2M in mobile Healthcare but it applies to other verticals, too. M2M isn’t working as it should. The US had a head start in mHealth: It has a Federal tax regime, and health and communications regulators; one official language, currency, and insurance-led payment model. So, it’s the perfect incubator for Jeremy Cowan mHealth solutions, right? Wrong. Off the record, mHealth solution providers complain to us that they struggle to get wireless devices deployed behind hospital firewalls. IT departments are petrified of letting in a Trojan Horse that reveals Protected Health Information (PHI), and as they face epic fines and even jail if patient data leaks out, who can blame them? But if health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and providers can transmit PHI electronically for claims or eligibility inquiries, it must also be possible to make it easier for mHealth solution providers to meet the criteria of the USA’s Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Meanwhile, costly and unevenly distributed healthcare in the US is assumed, naively, that Big Government understood M2M. Today, I set against a backdrop of the incompetent launch of “Obamacare”. don’t think it’s even aware of M2M or its benefits to patients; yet it It’s no better in Europe, where national governments (frequently the might be a vital solution. It’s time that the M2M / IoT community purse-holders) lurch from economic crisis (Ireland, Italy, Greece and (from CTIA, ETSI, GMA, GSMA, IMC, to M2M Alliance, oneM2M Spain) to organisational catastrophe (the UK), to bloated expense and the rest of the alphabet soup) actively invited the US FCC and (France and Germany). Even solution providers who can FDA, the EC’s Directorate general for Health & Consumers, and demonstrate the savings in OpEx that they can deliver are ignored national Departments of Health and Industry to meet regularly and because fixing the ‘Big Picture” is priority #1. discuss how we make mHealth solutions work for them, as Dan MacDuffie says, to “cut delivery costs, extend the reach of care So why am I frustrated if, as one CEO says (see Supplement, page givers, and bring new levels of care to patients.” S4), “We’re standing on the threshold of a new generation of health services that cut delivery costs, extend the reach of care givers, and bring new levels of care to patients”? I don’t doubt him, I just don’t want us still to be standing on the threshold in two years’ time. If mHealth solutions are to help as we believe they can, Jeremy Cowan this industry has to start selling its Benefits. Outwardly.
