Telemedicine System Where does the value of the innovation

Telemedicine System  - Where does the value of the innovation lie? Who would value it? How would you – rather than others – capture that value?

Solution

Telemedicine system is based on telecommunication and IT (information technology) in order to provide clinical health care. It is a system of remote clinical service delivery.

The value of innovation in telemedicine lies in its ability to provide high quality healthcare to everyone, including people at remote places, while reducing costs of clinical service delivery. Thus the system helps in bringing positive changes to health care and delivery of clinical services and this is where its innovation value lies.

The value of innovation in telemedicine will be most valued by seekers of health care services who do not have access to regular health care services in the places where they live. With the help of telemedicine they can use the services of clinicians at the places where they live to get their disease diagnosed and get access to the appropriate treatment and medication. It also enables them to get periodically as well regularly get themselves monitored in case of any chronic illness.

I would capture the value of innovation in telemedicine by introducing fundamental changes in the health care delivery system by incorporating telemedicine in a systematic manner. Secondly I would ensure that telemedicine solutions for acute care will have to have an interactive presentation in the patient environment. This will enable efficient collection and gathering of medical information.
