Trends Driving Remote Monitoring Aging population: 55 million Americans over age 65 by 2020 Chronic disease increase (75% of health care costs): - Seven chronic diseases cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, pulmonary conditions, and mental illness have a total impact on the economy of $1.3 trillion annually (2007) rising to $4.2 trillion in treatment costs and lost economic output by 2023. 1 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program. Shortage of qualified health care professionals 1. R. DeVol and A. Bedroussian, An Unhealthy America: The Economic Burden of Chronic Disease. Milken Institute.

Technology Growth and the Internet of Things (IoT) Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 percent from 2015, and will reach 20.8 billion by 2020. They further estimate that the Internet of Things (IoT) will support total services spending of $235 billion in 2016, up 22 percent from 2015. (November 2015) Source ABI Research 7
Types of Medical Monitoring Devices in Use Today 8
Considerations for Monitoring Devices Sensor Type What data do you want to collect? Body Location External or implanted, where on the body? Architecture Local; Distributed, Cloud Connectivity Wired or wireless; WiFi, Cellular or BT? Power AC; Battery; Energy Harvest User Experience Look and Feel; Displays; Interaction Security Data locations; Connection points Regulatory FDA; FCC 9
Medication Adherence Source: National Association of Chain Drug Stores, Pharmacies: Improving Health, Reducing Costs, July 2010. Based on IMS Health data. Nonadherence results in an economic burden of $100 to $300 billion per year. Annually, nonadherence costs $2,000 per patient in physician visits. The rate of nonadherence is expected to increase as the burden of chronic disease increases. 10
Impact of Mobile Health Key findings (Research Now, March 2015) 46% of healthcare professionals say that they will introduce mobile apps to their practice in the next five years. 86% of healthcare professionals believe that health apps will increase their knowledge of patients conditions. 96% of users think that health apps help to improve their quality of life. 72% of healthcare professionals believe that health apps will encourage patients to take more responsibility for their health. 11
FDA Regulation of Mobile Apps Note: First app approved in 1997. Total of 103 by 2013. 12

Summary Medical products evolving toward consumer devices, driven by elderly and chronic illness monitoring as well as technology. Most common wearable products today do not provide medically relevant information (accelerometers on steroids). Hybrid devices initial impact likely to be in remote monitoring of chronically ill or elderly. Keep in mind the product s intended use what do you want to measure, where, and how often? Consider all the users (patient, clinician, doctor, regulator) when designing the product. The value of devices is no longer only in the actual product itself. Don t deliver data; deliver information that leads to action. 23 Devicix Copyright 2016
