Abstract

Especially in the US, many are advocating for the incorporation of a value-based system for healthcare delivery including bundled payments for services in an attempt to address escalating healthcare costs. The following proffers the role for digital health solutions to support health and wellness management and the need to develop suitable sustainable business models. However, this approach brings a focus onto comorbidities and chronic conditions, which often need to be addressed or at least better managed before surgery can take place. This opens up the opportunity to examine the potential for digital health solutions such as mobile apps and serious games to provide an enabling or support role for individuals to better manage their chronic conditions. It also brings up the need for better, flexible models to assist health and wellness solution development.
