7. Expert Opinion
7.1 Visiongain Interview with Telcare
Visiongain conducted an interview with Dr. Jonathan Javitt, CEO and Founder at Telcare about his
viewpoint of the mHealth market.
7.1.1 Company Background and Product Offerings
Visiongain: Please give us a little background about Telcare and its mHealth related
product/service offerings.
Dr. Jonathan Javitt: Telcare offers an award-winning, cellular-enabled technology platform that
connects patients with their caregivers, increases treatment compliance and improves selfmanagement of diabetes. Telcare’s mobile-optimized blood glucose meter instantly transmits
glucose values to a secure server where this information can be accessed by healthcare
professionals. The system also sends immediate feedback and coaching messages to patients
directly on the patients’ meters.
In addition to reducing cost of care by improving patient health and preventing complications,
Telcare creates an ecosystem of care that provides caregivers with previously unavailable,
actionable clinical data.
7.1.2 mHealth Solutions Significantly Reduce Costs
Visiongain: What challenges and opportunities do you expect to see in the mHealth market
over the next 5 years?
Dr. Jonathan Javitt: In terms of opportunities, right now we’re already seeing mHealth solutions
helping to substantially reduce the cost of delivering care. At Telcare, we have a major client who
has realized a 50 percent reduction in staff time associated with caring for patients living with
diabetes combined with an improvement on clinical metrics thanks to our solution. I believe we’ll
continue to hear about these kinds of results as the technology and distribution improve.
The largest challenge for the industry will be aligning reimbursement mechanisms with these
benefits so that it makes economic sense to install these solutions.
7.1.3 Key Trends and Developments Driving mHealth Adoption
Visiongain: What are the possible market drivers and restraints in the mHealth market?
