Amazing Technology Enabled Health Care From Around the World

 I see through the lens of 40+ years of experience in global technologies that the evolution of technologies to aid, assist and enhance the quality of life and the delivery of care for a globally aging population has arrived a significant inflection point. Aging, by the way, is not just a U.S. issue. The UN’s Report on Aging has stated it is a global issue of great magnitude. The world’s older population will grow to more than 2 billion people! The ramifications of this eventuality are as broad and challenging as any socially driven global demographic issue we have faced. As it relates to healthcare technologies, the challenge being addressed presents as it always does, a unique opportunity to harness global innovation.

It is time to advance health care technologies created worldwide into readily accessible domestic solutions that are crucial to our quality of life, the purpose in life and delivery of care experienced by Seniors.

Thus far my experience in searching worldwide for technology enabled healthcare technologies and services has already led me to powerful solutions from Australia, Canada, China, Belgium, France and Ireland.

By looking abroad, we at ChartaCares have already made available a number of these very exciting technologies and services:

A unified senior touch screen friendly communications platform being deployed for Seniors, their care-givers, family, local service organizations, charitable entities and volunteers.

Humanoid robots that are actually at work, assisting with healthcare in Senior care facilities

A Social engagement service that reduces loneliness and enhances the quality of life via a very unique video services platform and a repertoire of ‘session professionals’ that lead discussion groups and take Seniors on web based tours and provide Senior’s with educational opportunities.

Remote Patient Monitoring systems that are critical to a healthy recovery or managing chronic illnesses.

Intelligent, automated behavior modification plans that enhance results achieved.

I also see advanced technologies being innovatively crafted for use by the Senior population such as ‘voice bio-metric’ signatures for healthcare related transactions and governmental interactions. Anti-microbial computer tablets for use in active care scenarios.

My point is that there exists an enormous source of creativity and innovation worldwide for health care technologies and services that needs to be cultivated. The time has come to begin to aggressively identify and share the work of global technology enabled health care developers. At ChartaCares we are working to do just that.

Many believe that the potential for the ‘future’ of health care is actually still some time off…well it is not, it is underway, now, and from locations around the world. We all can benefit from that.

We at ChartaCares are committed to advancing technology enabled healthcare from sources around the world . If you know of any such technologies or services you think we should review, please send me that information at mike@chartacloud.com. I will be sure to reach out to those sources. Thank you.
