It helps deliver timely, actionable data from patients' homes to caregivers, improving access to care and driving better outcomes. As an extended version of the existing models of telehealth and telemedicine, connected health is opening up new avenues for personalized care and precision medicine by bringing patient data at the fingertips of care providers. While telemedicine focuses on providing raw patient data to clinicians, connected health adds a layer of intelligence and analysis to the data before presenting it to physicians for real-time data management and decision support. Connected health solutions can be applied at any point in the care lifecycle from a patient's first contact with a caregiver to the completion of their treatment and subsequent aftercare. These solutions span over simple wearable devices to a series of networked devices collecting clinical data from patients and immediately alerting the physician in case of a decrease in adherence or an adverse situation. Some advanced solutions also feature latest innovations in smart sensing technology, fixed and wireless networking, and cloud computing to enable the mining and analysis of `big data' to uncover trends and insights, and generate decision-making outputs. Through this setup, healthcare providers can secure at-home patients through disease education and medication compliance through continuous monitoring. Connected health model also enables healthcare professionals to focus triage on patients where required. Doctors get new levels of visibility into their patient's progress, while patients take more responsibility for their own health and care.With such benefits, the global market for connected healthcare is expected to reach $105.33 billion by 2022, as per Market Research Future study. The ever-growing market is filled with numerous connected health solution providers. To help healthcare decision makers understand and select the best-of-breed solutions, our goal with this special edition is to highlight the top companies in the connected health realm.
