Sprint has been making some noise as of late in the telemedicine industry by offering what they are calling an “open” strategy to aid in providing opportunities for developers to create innovative applications and solutions for the medical community.
The press release discusses the benefits of bringing the health industry up to date with current technology as well as how Sprint has positioned itself to lead the cause. It also states that annual savings amongst all aspects of health care such as clinic visits, hospitalization, nursing home costs, etc are estimated to be around $21B if doctors were able to monitor patients with chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity remotely. This is a good step in the right direction in our eyes as we can see the benefits that these types of solutions will provide as well as the opportunities it will afford us as we continue to be at the forefront of integration in the M2M market. We always love a challenge in finding ways to get more devices connected.
