10 CSFs for Health Monitoring Platforms

A successful Health Monitoring ecosystem will need to be ambitious:
- Has to be so attractive that it can get virtually all consumers and patients on the platform.
- Must be able to generate information (without disclosing personal identifiable information) that is of huge value to those who are making the decisions and have the resources to optimize our health care systems of the future.
- It must run on a platform that is world-class in terms of availability, reliability, scaleability and cost efficiency.

Breaking this one step further down, the intermediary who wants to become the keystone of the ecosystem based on such a platform should consider the following Critical Success Factors (CSFs):

Components of a Health Monitoring Ecosystem

What are the key components needed to build a comprehensive ecosystem around health monitoring applications?  Key characteristic of an ecosystem solution - based on a platform - is that you create an environment in which different consumers and providers of health monitoring services are finding each other and can collaborate in a seamless way.
Information and services are aggregated to offer more complete solutions to a bigger community of consumers than any individual offer could achieve.  That is where the value of platform based ecosystem solutions becomes clear.

From technology to pilot to changing the world

I recently was impressed by an idea presented by Andreas Raptopoulos (Matternet) that could really revolutionize the way physical materials will be transported in the future.  

From a business perspective, it has the potential to replace traditional postal services and FedEx type services and even the pizza delivery service by a completely automated transport system through the air using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.  Very impressive.
