3 The Indian Healthcare Divide India has 17% of the world's population Poorest healthcare infrastructure among growing economies Healthcare accounts for only ~5% of GDP Healthcare Delivery Market in India ~ US$ 60 billion in 2010 Healthcare market expected to grow at CAGR of 15% Accessible, reliable and affordable healthcare continues to be a challenge Significant supply deficit Growing middle class with rising income levels, health awareness Indian Healthcare Market Growth 15% CAGR Source: Public Sources, Technopak Analysis Indian Healthcare Capacity Shortfall (in mn) Bed Doctors Nurses Existing Required (2010) Required (2020) Source: Public Research 3

4 Health Services Utilization Ageing Population and Chronic Care management No. of Years Social Class Less than 7 Years More than 7 years Chronic Care Disease Patients High Middle Low Very Low Total TOTAL Percentage (56%) (44%) Source: Health services utilisation in urban India: a study By C. A. K. Yesudian Out of pocket expenditure is more than 80% Rising demand for medical services and timely medical intervention Need for measures to provide health specialists access anytime anywhere and not only at the point of care 4 4

5 Supply Problems Ageing Population and Chronic Care management Resource Constraints There is 1 doctor per 1000 people in India. Most of India s estimated 1.2 billion people have to pay for medical treatment out of their own pockets (That is more than 80% of the total health expenditure as per 2011 stats). Less than 15% of the population in India today has any kind of health-care cover, be it community insurance, employers expenditure, social insurance etc. Over 72% (that would be over 620 million) of India s population lives in its 638,588 villages. It is hard to believe but in India, a common man is most indebted to healthcare after dowry.

6 Empowerment Ageing Population and Chronic Care management Resource Constraints Patient Empowerment With increasing Internet and mobile broadband access, available in-depth information on medical conditions and their treatment has enhanced patients knowledge, generating an increasingly consumerist attitude toward medicine and higher expectations regarding treatment. 6 6

7 Integrated care Ageing Population and Chronic Care management Resource Constraints Patient Empowerment Integrated Care In the face of the enormous challenges of managing chronic diseases, delivery innovations appear to have the most impact when multiple parties (e.g., physicians, nurses, payors) interact seamlessly to provide the best possible patient care over an extended period of time. Such integrated models have the potential to reduce costs dramatically, while increasing patient satisfaction and clinical quality. 7 7

18 Innovation brings economic growth India is an entrepreneurial country, but its entrepreneurs have had to struggle to create and grow their business ventures. There is, however, a growing group of first-generation Indian entrepreneurs the founders of companies such as HCL, Cognizant, Infosys, Bharti and others that have generated large scale employment and significant wealth. They and others such as IndiaBulls, Makemytrip and Naukri have also demonstrated value creation through a public listing. These successes have encouraged a new breed of entrepreneurs especially in the internet and e- commerce space. India has the potential to build about 2,500 highly scalable businesses in the next 10 years and given the probability of entrepreneurial success that means 10,000 start-ups will need to be spawned to get to 2,500 large-scale businesses. These businesses could generate revenues of Rs10 lakh crore ($200 billion) Moreover, entrepreneurship tends to be innovation-driven and will also help generate solutions to India s myriad social problems including high-quality education, affordable health care, clean energy and waste management, and financial inclusion. Entrepreneurship-led economic growth is also more inclusive and typically does not involve exploitation of natural resources. 18

20 Application of usable innovation Health Awareness and Education- Existing health content could be aggregated, filtered and indexed, under the guidance of global domain experts and made available on IVR, mobile devices and tablets like Aakash. 20 Said innovation will help achieve &: 1. Assist India with meeting the MDGs by providing support to the social sectors; WHO says that India will fail to achieve some of the most important Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets like reduction in maternal and child deaths, and increase in child immunization rates by Solve the economic implications related to the burden of NCDs in the country- In 2004, 4.8 million (59.4 percent) of the estimated 8.1 million Indian deaths were due to NCDs. A 2011 study shows that about 25% of families with a member with CVD and 50% with cancer experience catastrophic expenditure and 10% and 25%, respectively, are driven to poverty. 3. Help ASHA/ Aanganbadi workers stay connected to useful resources at the time of need.- The information challenges facing health workers include lack of routine systems for seeking and sharing information, lack of high-quality and current health information, and lack of locally relevant materials and tools. Without such basic information, the provision of quality services by health workers, the effective management of programs, and the use of evidence to formulate health policy all suffer. This information deficit contributes to poor health outcomes, including increased morbidity and mortality.

21 Case Study- INDIA Case Study 1: Health Awareness and Education- Existing health content could be aggregated, filtered and indexed, under the guidance of global domain experts and made available on IVR, mobile devices and tablets like Aakash Mediphone Process 1 Regulators 2 3 Healthcare Providers Technology Providers 7 4 Solution Provider 8 Decision support Tele-Triage system Patient Profile Airtel Subscribers 5 Mobile IVR System 6 Medical Organizations Patients Call helpline Ask questions on health-related problems Describe an ailment Community workers Visit families periodically Are on call for serious ailments Connect villagers with call center Promote awareness Educate Deliver medications Call center agents Receive incoming calls and triage to Physicians Nurses Educators Field workers Place outgoing calls to Follow up on patients Monitor community worker performance Physicians in call centers Speak with patients Conduct interviews; use images and videos if required Make a diagnosis Recommend treatment including medications, educational advice Refer to agent to coordinate medication delivery and follow-up Success Factors Mediphone has the capability to scale up on several platforms and can work seamlessly on Landline, Mobile and Internet. The service can be provided in regional languages as well. Mediphone can also be supplemented with a health classifieds service that will further enhance the call flow. Mediphone will also act as a platform to browse and buy Health related packages from several providers. Currently Mediphone is handling more than 1500 calls per day and will soon start Hospitals referrals, Appointment scheduling and emergency management 24X7. 21

22 Application of usable Innovation Crowd-sourcing Healthcare- provide an opportunity for scientists, doctors, technocrats, students and others with diverse expertise to work for a common cause. Said innovation will help achieve &: 1. Drug Discovery- Crowd-sourcing will help assist India with controlling morbidity of Tropical diseases by providing a global platform where the best minds can collaborate & collectively endeavour to solve the complex problems associated with discovering novel therapies for neglected tropical diseases like Malaria, Tuberculosis, Leshmaniasis, etc. Drug discovery can be made successful by pulling together informaticians, wet lab scientists, contract research organizations, clinicians, hospitals and others who are willing to adhere to the affordable healthcare philosophy. 2. Best Practices- Sharing best practices in solving some of the most complex issues around NCDs and related complications in the country. Take an example of Multiple sclerosis- It is very difficult to prognosticate effectively for MS patients. Some individuals have a very benign course and/or respond well to treatment, whereas others become rapidly disabled within several years of diagnosis. Sharing of best practices related to treatment, prognosis and follow up can hence lead to success. 3. Clinical Trials- Governments and public funded institutions in the countries with high burden of disease has a responsibility to contribute to the drug development. The cost of trials can therefore be brought down considerably on a platform which is crowd-sourced and open. 22

23 Case Study- Hungary Case Study 2: The Webicina- "Webicina," a site where medicine combines with social media to allow physicians within the country as well as across the world to communicate their findings easily, quickly and effectively.

26 Areas of Policy making 26

27 Innovation 27

28 Digital Health Efforts- Collaboration areas Health Information systems- CHIS- India will also put in place a Citizen Health Information System (CHIS) - a biometric based health information system which will constantly update health record of every citizen-family. The system will incorporate registration of births, deaths and cause of death. Surveillance- Maternal and infant death reviews, nutrition surveillance, particularly among under-six children and women, service delivery in the public health system, hospital information service besides improving access of public to their own health information and medical records would be the primary function of this effort. Placed on a GIS platform, it can identify geographic concentration of disease. Medical Records- The system will also provide hospital information service to improve the quality of care to patients through electronic medical records, to lower response time in emergency and improve hospital administration. It will support emergency response systems and referral transport arrangements, the organ retrieval and transplantation programme. Resource Mobilisation- The system will also support financial management -- from resource allocation, resource transfers, accounting and utilization to financial services like making of payments to facilities, providers and beneficiaries. It will provide a platform for continuing medical education and support regulatory functions of the state by creating a nation-wide registration of clinical establishments, manufacturing units, drug testing laboratories, licensing of drugs, approval of clinical trials 28

29 Approach and Innovation The major part of public investment in information technology in health care would go to institutional capacity building for understanding and use of information. Incurring large expenditures on hardware and software without making a matching input in capacity development and institutionalization can be an error. Every state should have the skilled human resources needed at state and district level. This would require a mix of those with IT skills and public health informatics skills. State centres for health information, either standalone, or embedded in existing institutions would be essential and district teams of three to five persons for managing information flows and interpreting information would also be essential. 29

30 Lessons learned The future of Healthcare innovation requires accessing and managing distributed networks of knowledge providers. Health/Biomedical research infrastructures need to be accessible, high quality and sustainably financed. The intellectual property landscape should evolve to better leverage strategic intangible assets. New research and business models are needed to meet economic and public health objectives. Intellectual Asset Valuation could facilitate trade in the under exploited knowledge assets of the Healthcare/Biomedical sector. Regulatory evolution, in consultation with industry, is critical to ensure the development and diffusion of breakthrough biomedical technologies and the innovative use of existing technologies. End users of new biomedical technologies have an increasingly strong impact on innovators and public policy. 30

31 Challenges Development There remain a number of outstanding questions with reference to the development, delivery, and uptake of health innovations where further research might be pursued in order to help inform policymaking. Delivery Uptake The thematic areas for possible future work include: 1. Progress in governance and the regulatory system. 2. Open innovation models in health. 3. Commercialisation of innovation derived from research and health infrastructures. 4. Financing models for health innovation. 5. Intellectual asset management. 6. Patient needs and demands. 7. Metrics and indicators of health innovation. 8. Policy challenges of disruptive technologies. 31
