Follow on Google News | Rethinking the Future of Mobile Finance and Mobile Healthcare ServicesMakani Networks rethinks mobile finance and mobile healthcare services
By: Makani Networks As mobile payment services grow by leaps and bounds, two important challenges emerge. The first is that of the growing need of establishing an internationally- A second major challenge relates to mobile healthcare services. Healthcare industry today is stuck in a vicious cost cycle – the healthcare ecosystem has been designed to provide all the incentives to inflate the overall costs for patient care, increase the patient's time-to-recovery, and permit usage of expensive cocktail of drugs, that, as observed in many cases, have little patient outcome. Pervasive mobile healthcare services offers the promise to release the pressure on the nation's healthcare system by increasing the medical capacity, reducing the total demand, improving the efficiency of the health ecosystem, and elevating the well-being and the productivity of the nation. Rajiv Chakravorty, Founder & CTO of Makani Networks, said, “Our investigations show that large-scale deployment of proactive mobile medical services can save the US at least a trillion dollars over a decade. In addition, an open mobile medical ecosystem can spawn new or specialized players including health networks, clinical device vendors, pharma manufacturers, and mobile system providers that have the combined market potential to expand the nation's GDP by another 10% in a span of 10-15 years. This precludes exploiting economies of scale, because geographically scaling these mobile medical innovations will result in tremendous long-term market growth potential.” “New regulations and policies, henceforth, can take into account the long-term market potential of mobile finance and mobile healthcare services. Policy formulation can be focused at protecting mobile consumers' interests, making affordable mobile medical services mandatory, extending early tax breaks and subsidies for businesses in mobile finance and healthcare services, supporting research and new ventures in mobile finance and healthcare through strategic capital allocation, and encouraging research-focused cross-disciplinary academic training for future high-value jobs creation,” added the CTO of Makani Networks, Inc.
