The future sustainability of health systems will depend on how well governments are able to anticipate and respond to efficiency and quality of care challenges. Bold action is required, as well as willingness to test innovative care delivery approaches. The greatest promise for transformational change is in applications that encourage new, ubiquitous, participatory preventive and personalised smart models of care. A whole new world of possibilities in using mobiles and the Internet to address healthcare challenges has opened up. The potential of mobile devices, services and applications to support self-management, behavioural modification and "participatory healthcare" is greater than ever before. A key hurdle is, however, the big data challenge, dealing with the exponentially accelerating accumulation of patient data - all of which must be mined, stored securely and accurately, and converted to meaningful information at the point of care. In order to fully exploit the new smart approaches to care, acceptance, privacy and usability issues will also have to be carefully considered Foreword -- Table of contents -- Executive summary -- Part I Emerging smarter models of care -- Chapter 1 Health and wellness needs -- Rising health costs and the need for greater efficiency -- Gaps in effective and preventive care -- Demographic changes and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases -- The growing fragmentation of care and the need for more responsive, patient-centred services -- Declining availability of a health workforce -- Increasing demand for home care -- Conclusions -- References -- Chapter 2 From personalised to ubiquitous care -- Personalised medicine -- Ubiquitous and pervasive patient care -- Conclusion -- References -- Chapter 3 Smart participatory care models -- Personal health records -- Participatory mobile health and health apps -- Social networks and virtual communities -- Conclusions -- References -- Chapter 4 Actions to build a smarter health and wellness future -- Address the big data challenges, knowledge generation and use -- Understand and address the potential new risks -- Foster meaningful innovation -- Promote organisational and social innovation for an integrated care future -- Reference -- Part II Key challenges and opportunities for a smarter health and wellness future: Expert contributions -- Chapter 5 Objectives and issues in integrating social care and health care delivery -- The need for greater smartness -- Social care -- Barriers to co-ordination -- Specialism-driven fragmentation -- Sector-specific ICTs -- Record-keeping differences -- Independent reform rather than cohesion -- The citizen need: Ensuring a care continuum -- Overcoming the challenges: A developmental agenda to enable integration -- The issues to be addressed -- The citizen-based goal -- Conclusion -- References -- Chapter 6 Integrating personalised medicine into health care: Opportunities and challenges.
