November 30, 2018 | Case Study

The stereotypical view of telehealth is the live video or phone conference. In reality, telehealth encompasses a number of technology types, including mHealth. mHealth technologies range from static data storage for information management to dynamic algorithms that process vital sign data from sensors to make actionable recommendations regarding healthcare. Babylon Health is a company that combines the traditional telehealth technology of the live videoconference with mHealth algorithms into a single platform. This consolidated platform has the benefit of being a "comfortable" technology in the conservative healthcare field while also bringing AI-driven actionable insights into the care process, reducing dependence on physicians.
