• By 2025, the number of people over the age
of 65 will increase from nearly 600 million to
800 million, or approximately 10% of the total
worldwide population according to the World
Health Organization. Coupled with longevity is
an increasing prevalence of chronic conditions;
diseases that were once fatal a generation ago
can now be treated with life-saving surgeries and/
or drugs. The increased demand for healthcare
services will place an additional burden on an
already stressed healthcare system. Shortages
of healthcare workers in both developed and
emerging countries will continue to worsen in the
next 10 years. These demographic trends combined
with positive technology trends, such as the
consumerization of technology, greater adoption
of mobile devices, better access to broadband
connectivity, telepresence, and increasingly
smaller sensor technology, will promote the use
of connected health technologies to provide
healthcare more efficiently to the masses in a more
cost-effective way
