| Healthcare Unbound (Forrester Research terminology) |
As the
population gets older we are likely to
see technology extend from primary
healthcare locations (doctor, hospital)
to monitoring and healthcare provision
in the home, on the person and even in
the person. Developments are still in
early stages but suggest towards
significant investment in the future. |
Major
networking requirements in hospitals,
doctors, and other healthcare
organizations. There will be other
implications and opportunities for
storage, processing, security etc.
Mobile technology will also be very
significant. |
Potential
Currently in very early stages.
Forrester predicts boom by 2015 for what
it describes as ‘healthcare unbound’. |
