Insights on the future of home health

By Kip Piper
Posted on: 08 December 2009

The aging population – and its impact on healthcare systems globally – is the topic of a new podcast series on GetInsideHealth.  Don Spence, CEO of Home Health Solutions at Philips, offers his insights on this subject and discusses how we can prepare for future healthcare needs.

There are three podcasts in this series, split into the following themes:

The ageing population and the impact on the healthcare system highlights the number of elderly people that will need care in the short to long-term and the financial impact of caring for these people in the years to come.

How home healthcare can enable sustainable healthcare solutions outlines the advantages and disadvantages of home care for providers and the current perception of home health by the public and policy makers.

Advancing technology to support sustainable healthcare solutions asks what technology is needed now and in the future and offers an overview of Philips' offerings in home healthcare.

Alternatively, you can read extracts of the interview that appeared in the Financial Times Health supplement this month here.
