Without a doubt, the impact of the smartphone has been enormous, and for healthcare providers the continued growth in smartphone use has major implications going forward\u2014especially since <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.blackberry.com\/2016\/03\/why-patients-are-rejecting-their-doctors-mobile-apps\/\">more than half of patients\/consumers now say that they want to be able<\/a> to interact with their clinicians through smartphones and mobile apps.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the rise of \u201cliquid expectations\u201d\u2014when favorable experiences with consumer products (such as the iPhone and the anticipation of new versions each year) raise expectations in other\u00a0industries<!--more--> (healthcare in this case)\u2014increases the pressure on providers such as the NHS to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/t20151209T041016__w__\/sa-en\/_acnmedia\/PDF-1\/Accenture-Losing-Patience-SA.pdf\">modernize and embrace consumer technologies<\/a>. Failure to respond to these new expectations will create a vacuum, which\u00a0provides opportunities for new disruptive technologies and systems created by the for-profit sector.<\/p>\n<p>Although interest in and adoption of connected health is biased toward younger individuals (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.meddeviceonline.com\/doc\/philips-says-emerging-markets-quickest-to-adopt-connected-health-technologies-0001\">more than half of 18 to 34 year olds report owning at least one health monitoring device<\/a>), increasingly patients see themselves as consumers and appear to be enthusiastic about their own ability to monitor their health, which will require much better data integration and sharing.<\/p>\n<p>The flip side to this is that healthcare bureaucracy itself is perceived as a drag on the realization of connected healthcare. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiercemedicaldevices.com\/story\/world-ready-connected-health-philips-study-aims-find-out\/2016-06-08\">According to one recent report from a large technology company<\/a>, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates lead the way when it comes to healthcare technology adoption: \u201cThe younger generations find this normal. In emerging markets, it&#8217;s their solution because there is no legacy system. The smartphone is the only way to talk to a doctor or a nurse, or to do a simple check during pregnancy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the UK how many NHS hospitals or primary care teams have built smartphone applications to engage with their customers? Here in the US many large hospitals are providing apps, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.blackberry.com\/2016\/03\/why-patients-are-rejecting-their-doctors-mobile-apps\/\">but less than 2% of their target populations use them<\/a> due to a combination of poor experience, unappealing design, and inept functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the minimum requirements for a successful medical app are (a) access to electronic medical records; (b) the ability to book, change, or cancel appointments; and (c) being able to fill prescription requests. However,\u00a0ignoring the needs of individuals and building technologies that try to cover all possibilities is a guaranteed failure. The needs and expectations of generations X, Y, and Z are very different from older populations and technologies will need to take this into consideration. A one size fits all medical app will be an expensive dud.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, the Federal Communications Commission has already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/general\/five-questions-you-can-ask-your-doctor-about-digital-health\">posted five questions to \u201cask your doctor about digital health<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0Being unable to answer them will not be perceived as forgivable:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I&#8217;ve heard that digital tools can help me get healthier or stay well. What can you tell me about digital health?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Are there any digital health tools that would be particularly useful given my diagnosis?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Does your practice have a patient portal?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Does your patient portal include e-visits?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What are the best sources of health information for patients on the web?<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0the UK, the NHS can choose to ignore this digital health revolution given its position as a monopoly health provider for the majority of citizens. Yet this may be a dangerous route in terms of survival in its current form\u2014the lure of the private sector may become irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>Unless providers offer digital health technologies that their customers want, hospitals and GP surgeries are risking not only their own financial health, but also lost opportunities to help individuals and their families take better care of themselves.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>David Kerr<\/strong> wears many hats\u2014physician; editor of <\/em>Diabetes Digest<em>; and founder of DiabetesTravel.org, a free service for travellers with diabetes, and Excarbs.com, which focuses on exercise and insulin.
