iHT² Health IT Summit San Diego - “Medicine Unplugged: Bringing the Solution to the Problem through Mobile Medicine” with Steven Steinhubl, MD, Director of Digital Medicine, Scripps Translational Science Institute, Clinical Cardiologist, Scripps Health
Extraordinary advancements in mobile technology and connectivity over the last several decades have provided the foundation needed to dramatically change the way healthcare is currently practiced. While the utilization of mobile telecommunication technologies for the delivery of healthcare (mobile health, or mHealth), is still in its earliest stages of development, the evidence supporting its potential to impact the delivery of care, to improve outcomes and lower costs is apparent. For healthcare consumers, mHealth technologies can allow for the more convenient, rapid and personalized diagnosis of some of the most common acute symptomatic illnesses. In individuals with chronic medical conditions, who account for nearly 90% of healthcare spending, mHealth technologies can transform their care through improved monitoring, tracking, and engagement of critical biometrics during routine daily activities, not only in doctor’s offices. In addition, despite greatly empowering patients to better care for themselves, this transformation in care will actually reinforce the doctor-patient relationship by allowing physicians to re-establish their role as diagnostician and educator for their patients. mHealth technologies have the potential to radically change every aspect of the healthcare environment but clinical trial evidence of its overall benefit to the patient and the healthcare system are still needed.
Learning Objectives:
∙ Be able to incorporate mobile health technologies into current practice.
∙ Explain to patients and colleagues the current gaps in care that can be better managed with mobile technologies
∙ List 4 devices under development that may contribute to the re-engineering of healthcare in the future.

• 83 million adults spend $33.9 billion annually,
mostly out-of-pocket, on complimentary or
alternative medicine.
• In addition we spend another $11 billion out-ofpocket for vitamins and mineral supplements.
• It is estimated that ~108 million Americans dieters

12. The DNA of Hunter-Gatherers: Immobility
Leads to a Stress Response
•
Our hunter-gatherer relatives are thought to have travelled
on average ~20 km per day.
•
When we achieve 30 minutes of brisk walking everyday
(which < half of US citizens do) that corresponds to only
~2.5km per day.
Charansonney OL. Nature Rev Card 2010;7:468-72
13. Dose-Response Relationship to
Increasing Physical Activity
416,175 individuals with ~8 years of follow-up. On the basis of the amount of self
reported weekly exercise association between activity and mortality was
determined
Individuals considered in the low
volume activity group exercised at
a moderate level (brisk walking)
for an average of 92 min/wk (~15
min/day) had a 14% reduced risk
of all-cause mortality and had a 3
year longer life expectancy
compared to inactive participants.
Every additional 15 min of daily
exercise beyond 15 min a day
further reduced all-cause mortality
by 4%

21. “Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health
Epidemic” - CDC Jan 2014
• About 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep
problems.
• 18 million ,~5% adult population, suffer from sleep apnea.
• Sleep problems are critically under-addressed contributors
to a number of chronic diseases and conditions, including
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression
http://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_us.htm
22. Diagnosing Sleep Disorders - Today
• Over the last 10 years the number of accredited sleep labs has
quadrupled.
• Each night in a sleep lab is ~$1,900 (mostly covered by insurance)
• Medicare payments alone for sleep testing were $235 million in 2009
Kaiser Health News Jan 2012
23. The Future of Diagnosing Sleep
Disorders
• Actigraphy is the continuous recording of body (often wrist)
movement.
• Allows for sleep-wake information to be gathered, but not sleep
stages.
• In head-to-head testing against polysomnographic predictive value for
sleep was 87%.

• Monitors room environment (temp, noise).
• Sleep stage awakening.

25. Depression & Anxiety
• Depression affects 9.1%
of the US population at
any one time.
• Major depressive
disorder is the leading
cause of disability in US
for ages 15 to 45.
• Only 50% of individuals
with major depression
receive treatment.
• Anxiety disorders are
most common mental
illness in US affecting 40
million.
• Total annual cost related
to anxiety ~ $42 billion.

26. Triggers of Anxiety/Depression are Different
in Everyone, and Often Subconscious
Objective measures of autonomic nervous system activity can help
individuals recognize stress triggers and what helps minimize them.
Electrodermal Activity
(EDA) is a sensitive
measure of
sympathetic nervous
system activity
Heart rate variability (HRV)
varies based on autonomic
nervous system activity. The
less stress, the greater
parasympathetic activity, the
greater the variability.

30. Cancer Detection Guidelines –
American Cancer Society
• Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40
and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health.
In 2011 only 53.6% of women reported having a
mammogram in the last year.
• Beginning at age 50, both men and women should have a
flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years, or colonoscopy
every 10.
~50% of the US population receive recommended
colon cancer screening tests.
• For high risk individuals age 55-74 low-dose CT scan
screening is recommended.

• In the near future, POC tests
will allow for home diagnosis of
exact pathogen.1

2. Accounts for roughly 7 million office visits, 1
million ER visits and 100,000 hospitalizations
annually. 1
3. UTIs are responsible for an estimated cost of $2
billion dollar annually. 1
4. Only ~50% of women presenting with symptoms
concerning for UTI are actually diagnosed as
having one after evaluation.2

for at-home urinalysis with analytic,
tracking and transmission capability.
• Future advances will likely allow for
the detection of both the presence
of infection and the exact pathogen
via a mobile electrochemical
biosensor .1

2. Responsible for annual costs over $5 billion
dollars, not including lost work time by family
caregivers. 1
3. For every 100 children utilizing a healthcare
service because of their parent’s suspicion for an
acute ear infection, only 50 are actually
diagnosed to have an ear infections.2

HTN annually in the US. 2
3. Nearly 40 million office visits every year in the US
have a primary diagnosis of HTN making it the
single most common reason for an office visit.3

• Home BP monitoring alone is
already known to improve BP
control, although only slightly.1
• When home monitoring is couple
with provider feedback and patient
engagement there is much greater
BP control than with monitoring
alone.2
• Cuffless and continuous noninvasive BP monitoring devices will
soon allow for a substantially
greater depth of understanding of
BP and its control.

1. In general, physicians are unsatisfied with their careers:1
Physicians rate the morale of 80% of their colleagues as poor to
very poor.
Two-thirds of physicans would not recommend it as a career to
younger individuals

54. What mHealth can Mean for Healthcare
Providers
1. mHealth technologies will dramatically change the
practice of medicine, which, at first blush is very
concerning to physicians.
2. However mHealth will eventually free physicians of
being directly involved in precision, algorithmic
medicine that currently takes up a majority of their
day.
3. Instead providers will regain their primary role as a
diagnostician and educator allowing for longer and
more rewarding interactions for both patients and
providers.
56. Medicine Unplugged: Bringing the Solution to the
Problem through Mobile Health- Summary
1. Healthcare in the US is unsustainably expensive
and does not provide consumers with the kind or
quality of care they require.
2. mHealth technologies provide a starting point for
the complete re-engineering of healthcare that
engages and empowers consumers, improves
outcomes, lowers costs and improves satisfaction
for all involved.
3. Real world, large-scale demonstration projects
and/or pragmatic clinical trials are greatly
needed.
