TTC #56. The business perspective of eHealth: Personal Health Record, business models

Bleddyn Rees, Non-Executive Director of the European Connected Health Alliance, and a Commercial lawyer with huge experience, talks about the practical aspects and benefits of the Digital Personal Health Record (PHR) along with some of the key bottlenecks in the quest to achieve wide adoption in healthcare. Our conversation then moves beyond PHR and into the technology and business model disruptions currently happening in healthcare. At the last part of the discussion, we talk about Social Impact bonds, a new alternative for financing projects with quantifiable social impact and the (fallacies in) public perception on privacy in health data. Interviewed by TTC’s George Voulgaris.
