Health&Tech Intelligence revient cette semaine sur l’information du mois d’août 2017. Aujourd’hui, retrouvez les informations de l’innovation Santé dans le domaine réglementaire et politique publique.

L’amélioration de l’accès aux soins primaires passe par la promotion de l’innovation en santé dans les territoires, telle est la conclusion du rapport d’information n° 686 de la de la mission d’évaluation et de contrôle de la sécurité sociale et de la commission des affaires sociales déposé le 26 juillet 2017.

Un des principaux leviers d’action cité concerne le recours à la télémédecine. Il s’agit là de dépasser son déploiement bridé par un cadre expérimental inadapté, notamment en matière de financement des actes. Pour appuyer le développement de la télémédecine, les recommandation sont les suivantes:
• les actes de télémédecine doivent être inscrits dans le cadre tarifaire de droit commun de l’assurance maladie
• valoriser l’impact économique et thérapeutique du recours à la télémédecine sur le parcours de soins
• généraliser la formation des professionnels de santé à l’usage de la télémédecine et les accompagner dans l’équipement en matériel et logiciels requis.

Pour répondre à une répartition inégale des praticiens et pallier la fragilité du corps médical libéral, des actions visant les praticiens eux-mêmes sont préconisées:
• accompagner les professionnels de santé et consolider l’attractivité de l’exercice libéral;
• créer l’ancrage géographique des professionnels de santé dès le stade décisif de la formation.

De plus, mettre en place de nouveaux modes d’exercice offrant de la souplesse professionnelle est fortement recommandé. Les structures d’exercice regroupé sont un exemple d’exercice en réseau et un instrument des mutations du système de soins.

Face à l’inégalité dans l’accès aux soins à travers le territoire nationale, une politique publique cohérente imposant des mesures en faveur de développement de l’offre des soins primaires dans les zones sous-dotées par une dynamique de territoire est indispensable. Un bilan des initiatives prises au cours des dix dernières fait état d’un manque d’action coordonnée et d’absence de stratégie globale.

Face à l’expansion des objets connectés, le 1er août 2017 un groupe de sénateurs aux États-Unis déposait la proposition de loi visant à instaurer des normes de sécurité plus strictes applicables aux fournisseurs d’IoT du gouvernement américain et de toute administration publique – le « Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017 ».

Dans le cadre d’une offre d’achat public, les obligations visant le fournisseur sont :
• garantie de l’absence de toute vulnérabilité connue en matière de sécurité dans les objets connectés proposés
• notification de toute vulnérabilité de sécurité découverte à la suite de la vente
• prévision de moyens correctifs, le cas échéant, au cours de la période suivant la vente.

Le projet est porté par un groupe de 17 sénateurs de la chambre haute qui travaille sur la question de la cybersécurité nommé « Cybersecurity Caucus », coprésidé par Mark R. Warner et Cory Gardner qui avec Ron Wyden and Steve Daine sont à l’origine du texte.

La proposition de loi impose de nouvelles exigences dans le cadre des achats publics et désigne le Bureau de la gestion et du budget comme autorité de supervision pour garantir que les dispositifs connectés satisfont les normes minimales de sécurité.

Lors de la réponse à une offre d’achat publique, le fournisseur doit s’engager à ce qu’il n’y ait pas de faille de sécurité connue. S’il est dans l’impossibilité de fournir cette garantie, l’administration à l’origine de l’appel d’offre peut opter pour une autre solution ou imposer au fournisseur de déposer une demande d’exemption auprès des autorités, ce qui débouche en tous les cas sur une utilisation des dispositifs en question au sein d’un réseau indépendant pour éviter tout risque d’intrusion.

Dans un deuxième temps, si toutefois une faille venait à être identifiée, le fournisseur a l’obligation de la notifier et de fournir le support technique nécessaire impliquant des mises à jour certifiées et ce dans un délai raisonnable.

Si le document est adopté, les exigences appliquées aux industriels fournisseurs de l’administration américaines vont à terme être étendues aux dispositifs connectés à destination du grand public.

La société américaine, Globus Medical, spécialisée dans la fabrication d’instruments pour chirurgiens a fait acquisition de la start-up suisse – KB Medical, sise à Lausanne, ayant développé un robot d’assistance chirurgicale de précision destiné à faciliter les opérations chirurgicales du rachis, a annoncé le quotidien suisse, Le Temps, le 16 août 2017.

Grâce à cette acquisition, Globus Medical compte accélérer, améliorer et d’élargir son portefeuille de produits.

Le montant de l’opération n’a pas été dévoilé.

KB Medical a été fondée en 2012 et en coopération avec le Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV) a mis au point un robot guidant les chirurgiens lors d’opérations visant à souder deux vertèbres cervicales.

Grâce à l’extrême précision du robot qui guide le chirurgien lors de l’intervention et à la perceuse médicale intégrée au robot AQRate, il est possible de placer des vis de 4mm de diamètre dans les cervicales mesurant 6mm de large.

La solution a obtenu le marquage CE en juin 2016 et a pu être testée sur 24 patients.

Après avoir obtenu plusieurs prix et subventions de la région ou de l’État, la start-up a également réussi à lever 2,5 millions de francs suisses auprès de Kinled Holding en 2016, totalisant un capital à hauteur de 4 millions de francs.

Les dirigeants de KB Medical cèdent leur affaire juste avant l’étape de la commercialisation qui aurait nécessité de nouveaux fonds.

On July 21, 2017, Royal Philips and the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings (SAM) announced a collaboration with Varian Medical Systems and IBA Worldwide to establish an advanced medicine oncology center at Biopolis, the Singapore’s international biomedical research hub.

Singapore is joining an exclusive group of countries that have facilities like these to advance our understanding of not only proton therapy, but also immunotherapy and other cell-based treatments. »

A center dedicated to the fight against aging-related diseases

Apart from cancer, aging-related diseases are a growing concern in the Asia-Pacific region, which is projected to comprise two thirds of the world’s elderly by 2050 (official figures).

In the longer term, the Singapore-based center will also manage a number ofdiagnostic and therapeutic medical specialties through the deployment of world-class imaging solutions to fight against cardiovascular and neurological disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Summary of the launches, partnerships and investments that occurred that summer in four key healthcare markets in Asia-Pacific: Singapore, China, India and Japan.

In short:
– Singapore: Towards an increasingly digitized health system and growing investments in oncology;
– China: Nokia plans to come back through the health tech sector;
– Japan: a center dedicated to silver economy;
– India: experts urge government to accelerate digital health development.

M-Health: APAC market expected to register a CAGR of 35.8% by 2020

Asia Pacific mHealth market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) (CAGR) of 35.8 % between 2015 and 2020, according to a report published late June 2017 by Allied Market Research, a US-based market research and business consulting company. The mobile healthcare market in Asia-Pacific is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate

China and Japan collectively accounted for two-thirds of the market revenues in 2014 and are expected to continue to consolidate their dominant position in the Asia-Pacific market by 2020. The key to success in these countries is the launch of innovative products and services.

Moreover, India is considered to be one of the most lucrative market for years to come, with a CAGR of over 42 %.

Singapore: an increasingly digital system / two partnerships focused on oncology

Singapore: a promising future health system but some gaps remain (Philips study)

The Future Health Index (FHI) 2017, a report commissioned by Philips and published in early August, revealed some of the major issues that many governments and health organizations are facing in attempting to digitize and modernize their healthcare system in line with demographic trends and consumer demands.

This is the second annual in-depth study of this king. It was conducted through surveys and interviews with more than 33,000 healthcare professionals, insurers and consumers across 19 countries and five continents.

The authors of the study show that most of Singaporeans are currently satisfied with their healthcare system: nearly two-thirds of respondents acknowledge that the healthcare available to them meets their needs, and more than three quarters agreeing that they have access to the information and resources needed to live healthily. Two-thirds of Singaporeans also place a great amount of trust in their healthcare system, a proportion comparable to that observed in Western European countries.

However, despite the Ministry of Health announcing that Singapore is in the process of acquiring one of the most IT-enabled healthcare systems globally by 2021, the study reveals that there is a significant gap between healthcare professionals’ and the general population’s perceptions, and the reality of the readiness of Singapore’s health system for the future. The authors also insist on the need to pay more attention to preventive care in order to establish a sustainable health system.

Singapore: Siemens launches a digital hub, notably in the health sector

In July, Siemens launched its first digitalisation hub in Singapore to bring its IoT expertise and innovations to Singapore companies and universities and more generally to the Southeast Asian market.

The company will co-develop new mobility applications with specialized partners to create a digital ecosystem.

Supported by the Economic Development Board of Singapore (EDB), the hub brings together specialists like data scientists, software engineers and solution architects from the urban infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and healthcare sectors, the three main areas the hub team will focus on.

These professionals will develop innovative and digital solutions to help companies in these different fields become more efficient and sustainable.

On July 21, 2017, Royal Philips and the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings (SAM) announced a collaboration with Varian Medical Systems and IBA Worldwide to establish an advanced medicine oncology center at Biopolis, the Singapore’s international biomedical research hub.

The centre will provide the latest generation of imaging, treatment delivery and clinical informatics technologies to comprehensively address the growing number of people living with cancer in the Southeast Asia region.

SAM is driving the collaboration and will invest up to SG$100 million (US$73 million; €63 million) for the development of this center of excellence in the Southeast Asia region.

The center is projected to open in stage from 2018 onwards. It will provide oncology solutions for use by healthcare professionals and researchers as well as a platform for professional training to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.

Singapore Cancer Society and BookDoc collaborate to improve access of cancer-related information

The community-based voluntary welfare organization dedicated to prevention Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) and BookDoc, an online healthcare platform with presence in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand, announced in August their collaboration to make it easier for consumers to access information and services related to cancer.

As part of this partnership, services offered offered by SCS at no cost, such as the results of Pap smear test, mammography and fecal immunochemical test, can now be searched on BookDoc’s free apps and website, BookDoc.com, anytime and anywhere.

Singapore: the silver tech market attracts SMEs in the field of health

In Singapore, rising number of SMEs are using the latest technological trends to create innovative health solutions in order to anticipate the silver tsunami wave.

They perceive this demographic change as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. According to official figures,the ageing market sector in the Asia-Pacific is expected to reach US$3.3 trillion ($2.6 trillion) by 2020.

The IoT and data analytics are ones of the most attractive areas. However, challenges such as the democratization of technology have to be overcome to make the companies of the sector viable in the long term.

China: health tech market attracts major international groups

China: Nokia could be back on the digital health market soon

Nokia plans a comeback in the consumer electronics market in China.

The Finnish company announced in early July 2017 that it was looking for investment opportunities and the right partners to expand into the digital health and virtual reality sectors in the world’s second-largest economy.

Baheal Pharma to develop Watson for Genomics in China

The US company IBM Watson Health announced in late June 2017 that the Chinese Baheal Pharmaceutical Group will deploy Watson for Genomics to clinicians across China.

As IBM’s primary channel partner for Watson for Genomics in China, Baheal will build an ecosystem within the country to sell the molecular data interpretation technology to local clinicians and researchers.

Japan: a health tech center to better fight against aging-related diseases

Wellness Open Living Labs (Woll), co-founded by the Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai, and Osaka City University concluded a collaboration agreement in July 2017. They will create a center dedicated to the development of new technologies and centered on science-related problems, such as dementia, and extending healthy life expectancy.

On the basis of this agreement, Woll and Osaka University will analyze health data, mobilize human resources, such as researchers involved in the resolution of health problems, encourage the development of the latest advanced technologies and academic research related to health problems such as dementia, and verify and commercialize solutions.

India: Healthcare Federation wants to accelerate eHealth development

The Health Federation of India (NATHEALTH) organized its second roundtable in Bombay in late June 2017 and deliberated on different issues related to healthcare sector in India, including the development of digital technology.

According to NATHEALTH Aarogya Bharat report, non-communicable diseases will cost India US$6.2 trillion (€5.3 trillion) by 2030. Therefore, India’s unique needs requires the government to include in its priority list the deployment of new technology in the field of health.

Experts emphasized the importance of scaling up digital health to reduce costs and improve health outcomes. They believe that the proposed creation of a National Digital Health Authority (NDHA) should lead to progress of use of IT in healthcare ecosystem.

Summary of the launches, partnerships and investments that occurred that summer in the healthcare market in Australia and New Zealand.

In short:
– Australia: a national project dedicated to the development of digital health has been approved;
– New Zealand: a manifesto to accelerate the development of high tech in the healthcare sector.

Australia: Governments to invest more in digital health

National digital health strategy approved by Council of Australian Governments

The Health Council of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) approved on 4 August 2017 Australia’s national digital health strategy (2018-2022) to support the adoption of digital health services across the country.

Seven priorities has been identified:

• 1. To make health information available whenever and wherever it is needed;
• 2. To be able to exchange health information securely;
• 3. To be able to use with confidence high-quality health data with a commonly understood meaning;
• 4. To improve availability and access to prescriptions and medicines information;
• 5. To develop digitally-enabled models of care that drive improved accessibility, quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare services;
• 6. To train a workforce that can confidently use digital health technologies to deliver health and care;
• 7. To develop a thriving digital healthcare industry delivering world-class innovation.

New South Wales invests AUS$536 million in digital health

The government of New South Wales has revealed in June that AU$536 (€363 M ; US$404 M ) will be spent on digital health infrastructure.

Expenditures will include :

• The development of digital infrastructure supporting the clinical and other health-related systems in New South Wales ;
• The widespread use of digital patient records to ensure patient records are easy to read, accurate and instantly accessible whenever needed ;
• The creation of a central repository for patients’ public hospital pathology results ;
• The roll-out of the Electronic Medications Management System statewide.

Other Australian governments are following the New South Wales lead in building better data management and analysis systems and in developing citizen-centered digital strategies.

A secure, national e-mail for caregivers

The Agency Australian digital health (DHA) announced in July 2017 that it would like to implement a secure electronic messaging between healthcare providers at the national level.

The system would provide a secure flow of health data between healthcare providers, regardless of the software they use, the organization they work for and with whom they communicate.

The pharmaceutical sector will switch to electronic prescriptions

The Independent Review of Pharmacy Remuneration and Regulation, led by Monash University professor of economics Stephen King, has raised several options in its report published on June 22, 2017. Its members felt that the government should urgently set up a system of integrated electronic prescriptions and medicine records.

According to them, the current paper-based system to outdated and inhibits the creation of a universal medication record.

The government should take the first step and legislate that electronic scripts are a legal record.

New Zealand: Industry players call for accelerated development of the health tech sector

 A manifesto to accelerate the development of high tech in the health sector

Scott Arrol, NZ Health IT (NZHIT) chief executive, a national industry group of health software companies, partners, consultants and healthcare providers, said in June that he supports the manifesto recently signed by major national tech organizations in order to encourage the government to quickly introduce measures to boost the development of new technologies within the country, especially in the health industry.

Among the main ideas is the establishment of a Minister for the Future. This potential new ministerial role should take into account the future consequences of technological change that the country is going to experience in parallel with other societal developments and opportunities.

The mandate would include all areas affected by future technologies, including health, social, economic and educational. While New Zealandhas a government chief information officer as a functional lead for digital and ICT within government, this proposed ministry would be strategically focused on the eHealth sector and have a higher level broad scope.

Patea opens first virtual clinic in the country

The pilot of the first virtual medical clinic in New Zealand will open in Patea (north of the country) soon, revealed the city on July 24, 2017. It is based on the use of a technology developed by Dr. Lance O’Sullivan, Maihealth, a trademarked software deployed for virtual health services managed by people from within their own community.

The purpose of this new service is to better deal with the shortage of doctors in the Australian city. There are approximately 2300 patients in the South Taranaki town where locum doctor (a locum is a person who temporarily fulfills the duties of another) have been used for some time because of difficulty in recruiting general practitioners.

The government exploiting social media and big data to predict epidemics

New Zealand’s Health Minister Jonathan Coleman said at the end of July a project is seeking to establish if tracking trends on social media and big data analysis can help to predict epidemics and to improve solutions to avoid them.

The project consists of using alternative sources of information to detect trends that indicate the spread of infectious diseases, including social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as a range of historical and current data sets, such as anonymized information about school absenteeism, employee sick leave, pharmacy sales of over-the-counter medicines, lealthline calls and tissue sales.

The program is supported by the extra NZD 888 million (USD 649 million; €552 million) invested into the Vote Health program this year, taking it to a record $16.8 billion (USD 12.2 million; €10.4 million).

In Singapore, rising number of SMEs are using the latest technological trends to create innovative health solutions in order to anticipate the silver tsunami wave.

They perceive this demographic change as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. According to official figures,the ageing market sector in the Asia-Pacific is expected to reach US$3.3 trillion ($2.6 trillion) by 2020.

The IoT and data analytics are ones of the most attractive areas. However, challenges such as the democratization of technology have to be overcome to make the companies of the sector viable in the long term.

The government encourages the elderly to adopt a healthy lifestyle

This trend is in line with the government’s desire to encourage the elderly, who generally live healthier lives and wealthier than previous generations, to age well and maintain their independence for as long as possible.

Families are ready to spend money in healthcare for their elders

« Consumers are not only the elderly themselves, but more importantly, their children who have the spending power and are constantly worried about the well-being and health of their parents, » said at the end of June at the Business Times Jeong Shing Ong, investment director of Venturecraft Group , a company that invests in start-ups in the fields of MedTech, BioTech and digital health. This is a « good news » for the development and adoption of eldercare technology, he added.

In Singapore, local businesses focused on different areas:

• Healthcare monitoring technologies;
• Assistive living technologies and smart living technologies;
• Home care services;
• Vendor sourcing applications.

Eldercare technology attracts people but the market is not booming

Although there has been a growing interest in eldercare technology, the market is not booming in Singapore yet.

TeleHealth: there is no pickup of teleHealth yet

Cadi Scientific, which has been in the market since 2003, manufactures wireless devices used in hospitals for tracking and monitoring patients, staff and assets. Its director and chief marketing officer, Lim Soh Min, told Business Times that he had « not felt the pickup of teleHealth yet » but thought « it will ». The company is working with a Japanese medical device manufacturer to offer blood pressure monitors with Bluetooth connectivity, which can connect easily with smartphones.

Towards an « uberisation » of caregivers?

Technology is progressing rapidly in the area of ​​eldercare, but there is still a significant need for caregivers. Many startups have launched mobile applications that deliver home care services, resulting in a trend known as the « uberisation » of caregivers.

For example, there is a company that leads this sector in Singapore: Caregiver Asia, which offers real-time booking of care services online. Users can also book medical professionals to bring loved ones for doctor’s appointments.

However, while advances in technology provide caregivers with some relief, Yeo Wan Ling, CEO of Caregiver Asia, said that technology will never truly replace people. « Our view is that the personal touch or human assessment is an integral part in optimizing caregiving. »

Industry players need to think internationally to succeed

The eldercare sector dedicated has a potential. But there is a slow rate of adoption of this technology in the area due to relatively high costs and unfamiliarity.

Government must support the sector to reassure consumers

Industry stakeholders believe that government can help boost the market by funding pilots or trials in hospitals. This would give consumers greater confidence in these new devices and services. A higher pickup rate would drive down costs and companies would be more motivated to offer more innovative eldercare solutions.

Local development is not enough to be successful over the long term

Companies must also think internationally to be viable in the long term. « The local market is not big enough to become sustainable in the long run, » said Mr Ong to Business Times. In addition to the local market, they should expand overseas right from the get-go in order to tap the full potential of the global ageing market. »

According to experts, the adoption of designing appropriate and scalable business models will also be one of the keys to success.

Le conseil des Ministres du 2 août 2017 annonce la nomination d’Hélène Brisset, actuelle directrice de cabinet de Mounir Majoubi, secrétaire d’Etat au Numérique, au poste de directrice des systèmes d’information au secrétariat général des ministères chargés des affaires sociales.
Ingénieure des Mines, Hélène Brisset était déjà en charge des systèmes d’information des ministères sociaux avant de rejoindre le cabinet de M. Majoubi.

Deux ministres limogés, un autre mis sur la sellette, un premier ministre désavoué, une crise politique en train de se déchaîner risquant d’aboutir sur une mention de censure, l’image d’un pays reconnu pour son éthique politique ternie et la sécurité personnelle des citoyens compromise sont les conséquences d’une mauvaise gestion de données de l’Agence des transport suédoise (Swedish Transport Agency, STA).

En cause, le non-respect des procédures de sécurité lors du transfert des données en possession de l’Agence dans le cadre d’une externalisation des services informatiques vers IBM.

Pour comprendre les éléments de cette cybercrise qui met la Suède sous les feux de la rampe dans un contexte inhabituel, il faut remonter en 2015. Afin de faire des économies, l’Agence des transports décide d’externaliser la gestion de ses services informatiques auprès d’IBM.

L’élément-clé de l’opération à qui l’on doit la situation actuelle est l’accélération du processus de transfert des responsabilités par la directrice de l’agence, Maria Agren, lors duquel les procédures visant à assurer la sécurité des données n’ont pas été mise en œuvre.

Des abus ou violations des données sensibles ne sont pas connus à ce jour, mais la sécurité nationale est compromise,  des données relatives aux infrastructures de transport ou le parc des véhicules militaires ont été mises à disposition de sous-traitants non habilités à accéder à ce genre d’information, notamment employés dans les filiales d’IBM en dehors du territoire suédois.

Hormis les informations sur les infrastructures, les registres de l’Agence contenaient également des données personnelles des citoyens et hauts fonctionnaires – identifiants nationaux, permis de conduire ou noms et adresses. Dans un système administratif national reposant sur un numéro personnel d’identification (personnummer), alloué à chaque citoyen, la diffusion de données relevant du champ des compétences de l’Agence des transports ouvre la brèche vers l’accès à d’autres types de données, comme des données de santé ou des données bancaires.
