Editor Steve recently finished reading these two books and recommends them. The first, Klondike Playboy is an autobiography by John Boden, known in this industry as CEO of ElderIssues, Florida, and the second, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff is essential reading these days for anyone who has to sell new product ideas. Let's just say you won't want these techniques used against you!
And then, of course, there are the perpetual favourites that everyone in every equipment supplier company should read over and over again, by Geoffrey A Moore.

I fail to see why this shouldn't all be replaced by a personal mHealth solution... |

I cannot see anything in this video which couldn't be implemented much more easily and at a much lower cost with a smartphone. To my mind the Intel table top device would be more useful if it had a smaller form factor (eg like the touch screen iphone mobile) and could be taken with the patient and used to support continuous care particularly when a patient is out of the home. The motion sensors would be much more effective if they tracked the patient constantly. A watch-like mobile (eg. the LG Watch Mobile) could offer this benefit and more (as we have seen with the success of the Vivatec wristcare devices/support services). The microphone on a mobile phone can easily be used to detect the sound of a door opening and would help us know exactly which patient was opening/passing which door in a shared home. To put a system like this into every home would be ideal but prohibitively expensive and I think in these tough economic times we need to plan for that scale. |
