Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, chairman of the independent high-level working group on e-health, clearly stated in May 2012: "We know that when it comes to health care , we are at least 10 years behind virtually all countries. We know from a wide range of other services that information technology applications can revolutionize and radically improve the way we do things. » Although many factors are reported as barriers to faster and wider implementation of telehealth, the cost of deploying the systems and the clarity of their return on investment (ROI) ratio for the stakeholders involved, are among the most important, either due to the high start-up costs involved in setting up some eHealth systems, the lack of reimbursement projects or the limited large-scale evidence of its cost-effectiveness. A generic European business model for ICT and aging wellThe TechnolAGE project recently published "ICTechnicolage study on business and financial models linked to ICT for aging well", one of the few studies. available which attempts to identify successful business models in Europe in the sector of ICT solutions for aging. One of the conclusions of this report is the fact that different European regions tend to adopt different solutions (i.e. more "off the shelf" or innovative solutions, adapted in any case to the particular framework of the region, elderly users as well as careers providing the service and the budget available for payment of the service); Most of the systems reported as successful by TechnloAGE have in common that they provide solutions/services for various aging needs in one system, therefore they offer a "complete service package" for older people and not just one solution..... . middle of paper...... "standard" alarm service providers at a monthly price from commercial providers. The E-No Falls consortium expects that future fall detection and prevention systems will evolve and therefore be considered not just tele-assistance systems, but telehealth devices capable of detecting the tendency to fall and guide users and therapists to reduce the risk of falls. In this scenario, fall prevention detection and management systems should be marketed as telehealth services, likely in combination with other solutions for healthy aging, providing “complete telehealth solutions” like those already studied by the TechnolAGE project. This assumption forms the basis of this payment method analysis section, which draws on existing telehealth IT services already available in the market and the various payment methods used today and expected in the near future...
