8. Adherence
Medication Adherence is the most
important factor determining Medical
Outcomes.
-World Health Organization
Adherence (ād-hǐr'əns) n.
the extent to which a person’s behavior – taking medication,
following a diet and/or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds
with agreed recommendations from a health care provider.
-World Health Organization, Adherence to long term therapies: evidence for action, 2003.
8 30 November 2009 WBUM101-P-059 v1.0
9. Adherence
1in10 Americans may have COPD. 1 in 15
have Asthma
3 rd leading cause of death in 2020 will be
COPD
>50% chronic asthma patients are non-
adherent
45% of total costs may be due to poor
adherence
$290B is non-adherence cost
There is a significant health problem; patients are under-served by the current
system; money is left on the table

29. Why Bother ? (Network Operators)
Network choice no longer about coverage
Contract price competition is tough
How do network operators differentiate?
Offer valuable experiences to their customers
Mobile Healthcare applications will be a high value service

Invest in applications and services that offer value to your subscribers
– E.g Family support tariff with app for caregiver support/ monitoring
Specify handsets that support open application development
Specify handsets that support Continua standards
Create an ecosystem where health applications can be deployed
30 30 November 2009 WBUM101-P-059 v1.0

Handset value increasingly about value in applications
Mobile Health applications will become a decision factor in handset selection
Early support for mobile health apps, and application development platform will
enrich the handset value
Mobile Healthcare will be a “must have” handset capability
31 30 November 2009 WBUM101-P-059 v1.0
32. Other Options ?
Partnerships (network operators)
