e-Health


It seems that again a new niche of mobile market was found. In addition it´s a niche of which it envied to speak a long time ago, the applications focused to the health.

“The French company France Télécom created in December of 2006 a division specialized in health, after the success of the SMSoleil experiment, in the summer of 2005” (source Five Days). In particular the SMSoleil project I don’t see it especially interesting, consisted to send text messages to families on information of the solar factor recommended to protect their skin. The truth, I used to use the one is close to me without more considerations. If he is commented here it’s like reference of which it’s considered successful and think in a real success years light of that.

The possibilities of the idea are much more there. Good examples are the Columba product, service of location for patients of Alzehimer. Or the T+Diabetes program, T+Asma or T+Tension offered by SFR in which the blood levels of the patients are controlled and alert in case of problems.

Using the functionality of the new terminals the opportunities grow in an exponential way, tele-attendance using the mobile camera. Avoiding the displacement or seeing in real time a person who has undergone a medical problem can facilitate the life or to even save it, serving first specialized. Who knows if we let make the question, is a doctor in the room? Also, the globalisation arrives, perhaps you’ll have the attention of your doctor in the Amazonian forest (that we took care of so little) or that it takes care of a specialist-guru to you of Miami. Surely, people who have moved the CRMs to emergency countries, also think already in costs saving. The health industry will continue being the one that more money moves of the world and I’m glad that the ops have seen this opportunity. There are not much people who save money in health.

However, I believe that the system goes focused to a sector that this so perhaps accustomed or does not have sufficient mobility like using excessively complex services. I consider that to have a simple and powerful handset will be the key. It must be a handset with a simple click and a reduced keyboard that makes what the patient needs. We found in the chain of value the handset manufacturer, developer of the application, to the operator with its network and the medical centre.

Summarising, a new opportunity to give but benefits to the patients, firsts steps in a globalisation world and, reduction of costs and times of attention.
