US market looks to e-health

On our trip over to the US in late 2009 we spoke to Niels Helkov from Orange Business about e-health. Niels explained to us why e-health was so important to the US market. His key points include:
 
  • The importance of e-health in the US healthcare market - particularly to help with chronic diseases;
  • How technology developments, such as M2M, have spurred the e-health market;
  • Why involving all different parts of the e-health value chain is essential;
  • The solutions that Orange is working on in e-health.

After a Masters in Computer Science, I decided that I preferred writing about IT rather than programming. My 20-year writing career has taken me to Hong Kong and London where I've edited and written for IT, business and electronics publications. In 2002 I co-founded Futurity Media with Stewart Baines where I continue to write about a range of topics such as unified communications, cloud computing and enterprise applications.
