1. 1. ROUTE THE BIG PICTURE IN (NCD) POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT BY G U RENUKANAND
2. 2. RISING NUMBERS OF NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (NCD) With the increase in Aging population worldwide Malaysia is also moving towards an aging society. Rising number of Non-communicable Diseases (NCD) diabetes, cardiovascular, cancer especially for Malaysians above 50 years old. Malaysia diagnosed with NCD (cardiovascular, diabetes) are on the rise. 1.Diabetes mellitus 15.2% (2.6 million) 2.Hypertension 32.7% (5.8 million) 3.Hypercholesterolemia 35.1% (6.2 million) (Source : National Health and Morbidity Survey 2011) Treatment costs of NCD are escalating, with widening gap of demand versus supply of specialist doctors. New innovative NCD preventive measures and diagnosis/treatment needed.

4. 4. For example: (Holter for ECG, Bio-impedance for dialysis), or Current devices are limited in form factors and features for mobile healthcare (size, rigidness, battery life, and affordability) which is limiting the mobility of the patients and lacks in ability to sense the patients vital signs remotely to prevent potential death. Many medical conditions, such as Atrial Fibrillation (AF) cannot be detected, unless with the prolonged wearing of the Holter ECG patient must lug around bulky and heavy probes when moving around, patient cannot bath and movement are restricted. CURRENT SOLUTIONS FOR DETECTING NCD ARE LIMITED TO USAGE IN HOSPITALS
5. 5. HEALTHY Vs. UNHEALTHY ROUTE - THE BIG PICTURE IN POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT Healthy Route 2 possible paths for each individual in Non- Communicable Disease (NCD) Healthy & productive Contributes National GNI Quality of life Potential applications of IoT related technology (blue ocean) Unhealthy Route Ill & non-productive Incurrence of Treatment cost Continuous maintenance cost Example : NCD Cardiovascular Healthy Route Unhealthy Route Heart By-Pass Surgery Cost Medication for life Narrowed/Blocked Arteries Condition detected Prevention Time Healthy Period Living with Medical Condition From condition onset until recovery Diagnosis Treatment Follow-up Care Image Credit : Anand, Dr.Khoh
6. 6. WHAT NEXT : WELLNESS AS A KEY MOTIVATOR FOR LONG TERM CARE Malaysia is one of the nations with a faster adaption of technology can address this with Technology as an enabler Expertise and Research on printable flexible electronics to produce wearable healthcare products that are thinner, flexible, improved battery life and affordable that could help detect the onset of cardiovascular and diabetes problems, and prevent diseases caused by these conditions HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM UNIFIED PHR PROTOCOLS CARE DELIVERY CASE MANAGEMENT DISEASE MANANGENT
