The Transition to Personal and Home Healthcare<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n“The way it stands today, healthcare needs to undergo a change in order to adjust itself to the era we live in”, Bettesh describes. “Some people are clearly indicating that the current situation is simply unsustainable. The increase in the number of elderly people and the amount of chronic diseases are good examples of this. The inability to treat patients at overcrowded hospitals and the need for community healthcare are also obvious. Datos is providing a good solution to some of the difficulties involved in the transition to home healthcare and is providing a therapeutic continuum that is vital to correct patient care of the patient. In general, Israel is considered a pioneer in these fields and Datos is allowing for the introduction of healthcare into the home, in contrast to previous paradigms, automatically and at a lower cost.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The discourse today is of personally-tailored healthcare and we have an excellent solution for this. Aside from individual medical characteristics, personally-tailored healthcare also considers biological, environmental and behavioral differences between people and between men and women. The knowledge accumulated in our system enables us, among others, prediction capabilities and preventative medicine, a better matching of treatment naturally enabling patients better health, and an enhanced and longer quality of life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Datos is working on a range of fascinating projects with leading research entities from Israel and abroad, including health funds and hospitals. The work with these research institutes constitutes a further important level in progress towards personally-tailored healthcare. In the context of personal treatment, some are talking about genetic data, but it does not all end there. Today, people are also talking in the same breath about behavioral information and microbiome data \u2013 and only an integration of all these tools will truly enable personally-tailored healthcare. Knowledge on the quality of treatment for a specific disease is also significant. The updated medical index of healthcare quality is not if the operation succeeded but rather, if the person succeeded in returning to a healthy lifestyle \u2013 side effects and if he is free of pain, and how his lifestyle is influenced by the medical procedures he underwent.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“One of the upcoming studies will measure exactly that among breast cancer patients. We will focus on the question of how the treatment and side effects are expressed in the patients’ lifestyle in order to provide a basis for personally-tailored healthcare. In the past, a study like this was complicated to conduct but today, using our system, it can be done very cheaply while combining questionnaires with smartwatches that check the correlation between side effects and the level of activity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The aim of the study is to supply patients with personal information on the viability of different treatments for the same disease, by analyzing the results of similar patients. Think of Amazon’s recommendation of products that interested buyers like you \u2013 the system enables the same personalization in medicine, thereby creating personally-tailored healthcare accessible to everyone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The field of medicine is extremely advanced in Israel, both medically and technologically, partly due to the advanced computer systems in Israeli healthcare. Israel’s medical indices are all substantially better than those in the US for example \u2013 from expenditure per capita to waiting periods, birth and fatality rates.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In Israel, once I show that I provide better healthcare than that which already exists \u2013 I’m in. And I save costs. The Israeli health system is typically very open to startups and new technology. In the United States on the other hand, when I turn to a medical organization, regardless of its size, the first thing it thinks of is how to receive money from the insurance companies and so approaching the market and presenting value to the health organizations require completely different strategies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Both marketing and work processes take a long time in the healthcare field, so a lot of patience and funding are needed in order to keep going during the development stage before the first revenues are generated. were established 3.5 ago years and have been supported by the Innovation Authority from the outset. They helped us keep our head above water during the critical period. Today, we already have sales of about half a million dollars, but we wouldn\u2019t have succeeded in reaching this stage without the Innovation Authority’s assistance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My vision is to allow patients an integral user experience, not just through a mobile application but also via the many channels that will surround us as the IoT continues to advance, including virtual aids and smart motor vehicles. We will have to learn how to create an experience which will, on the one hand, be personal and able to preserve our privacy and on the other, will enable us all better and more advanced healthcare, all subject to the limitations of the sector.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
