1 Investigating the Costs and Benefits of ICT Use in Personalized Healthcare: A Case-Based Approach Walter Van Dyck, Daniel Gassull, Gergely Vértes, Prateek Jain, Muhilan Palaniappan, and Erik Tambuyzer

2 Does technology-enabled personalisation allow for a move from pure play drug-based to integrated healthcare solutions? PREDICTION PREVENTION TREATMENT MONITORING Breast Cancer Case Study Acute Coronary Syndrome Case Study For both cases we studied; 1. Cost Effectiveness analysis and impact on various healthcare players 2. Cost-Benefit analysis: NPV, IRR, sensitivity analysis 2 07/06/2012
