Demographic trends spur healthcare demand. inadequately met by healthcare institutions. One solution is more efficient services such as telehealth provision. PPs have joined forces to overcome problems/barriers linked to lack of support for businesses to market new. smart telehealth products. A bad connection of smart ICT products with quickly changing demands in the health market is also a challenge. In response. RECAP uses a growing health market as a business opportunity. to stimulate market uptake/use of telehealth in diagnosis. treatment & monitoring of patients adding value for business. patients & healthcare institutions. The telehealth sector in PP regions employs cc.110000 people with 145 SMEs & some bigger companies. Core sectors include technology. product & service providers. e.g. Philips Research. Philips Healthcare. Biomarker. Medtronic. IEM GmbH Stolberg (telemonitoring devices). Telehealth Solutions. Motiva. Simac (care solutions). Verklizan (services). For efficient enhancement of telehealth facilities. PPs have identified 3 crucial aspects. based on existing regional telehealth models: 1. intelligent devices. 2. intelligent organisation of care. 3. intelligent systems supporting decision-making. Analysis/testing linked to these aspects will be done by 3 regional hubs. each having specific expertise. focusing on Chronic Heart Failure. The hubs are building blocks to the transnat. Health Innovation Portal. The upscaling of regional care portals to a transnat. level is triggered by PPs’ common drive for optimalising delivery (critical mass) & keeping a high quality of care services. which provides health & other benefits for patients. e.g. reduced casualties. hospitalisations. increased convenience. safety. mental wellbeing. avoided/postponed medical surgery. improved ICT communication knowledge & life style changes. Increased awareness and demand from patients for telehealth services will in turn trigger business uptake.
