Abstract :
This paper discusses opportunities in remote and home healthcare for the consumer electronics industry. First, trends, drivers, market segments and barriers to adoption are introduced. Next, the Continua Health Alliance is introduced, a consortium that aims at addressing these barriers, notably by defining an interoperability framework for remote and home healthcare systems, built on open industry standards. Finally, related opportunities to the CE industry are presented.
