Conference Sessions - Telehealth Executive Workshop

Driven by powerful demographic, technological and economic trends, there is little doubt telehealth represents an enormous market opportunity, with spending in the US projected to triple over the next three years to better than $6 billion by 2012. As it pertains to the security industry, telehealth is everything from traditional PERs devices and monitoring to providing services such as medicine and wellness reminder calls, enabling remote diagnostic devices and videoconference consultations between doctors and patients, medical record storage and access provision and more. Electronic security and monitoring companies are well positioned to provide telehealth service thanks to their proficiency with technology and secure, reliable telecommunications and their place of public trust in the eyes of consumers and authorities. The questions are what services to provide, when and how and what risks and opportunities to the business. This first-ever ESX Executive Workshop seeks to tackle these key questions with inputs from experts both inside and outside the industry.
