Given the potential to reimagine and revolutionize how care is delivered through seamless integration of clinical-grade wearable sensors, predictive analytics, mobile apps, connectivity, med management, patient education & engagement and other transformative experiences, what innovations can you propose that would further the Triple Aim in the management of patients with chronic diseases? Participants are encouraged to think of holistic ways of solving these tough, multi-disciplinary challenges through combination of technology around wearables, software & analytics to help make meaningful decisions. This is an open call for submissions from any interested party, including clinicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, patients, caregivers, designers, artists, etc. #PhilipsWearablesChallenge

Problem Definition
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement defines the “Triple Aim” as the following:
- Improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction);
- Improving the health of populations; and
- Reducing the per capita cost of health care.
Given the massive improvements in wearable sensor technology, predictive analytics, mobile apps, connectivity, education and other technology, what innovation can you propose that would further the Triple Aim in the management of patients with chronic diseases?
We encourage you to think outside the box. Your solution can be a use case of a currently existing technology, a proposal for the creation of a new technology, a proposal for the improvement of an existing technology, a novel combination of technologies, workflow changes and educational initiatives or any other proposal that meets the criteria below.
- The proposal must focus on the management of patients with chronic diseases
- The proposal should focus on the patient journey from hospital discharge, transition to rehabilitation, subacute rehabilitation, a skilled nursing facility, or long-term care facility and/or returning to live at home
- When returning home, the proposal might address visiting nurses, visiting physical therapists, visiting pharmacists, and social workers
- The proposal can focus on an improvement to one or more specific steps in the patient journey (i.e. discharge) or can be applicable across the patient journey
We are particularly interested in proposals that incorporate the following, but do not feel limited by these suggestions.
- Connecting the patient and/or caregivers in post-acute care settings (rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities, home) to the clinical team
- Eliminating or reducing the gaps between patient-clinical team interactions
- Allowing for smooth information sharing across the entire care team
- Integrating seamlessly into the patient’s life
- Using wearable sensing technologies
Judging Criteria
Entries will be judged based on the following criteria:
- How well does it address the primary goal of the challenge?
To achieve or further the “Triple Aim” in the management of patients with chronic diseases - How practical is it? Can it be easily integrated into the clinical workflow? Can it be piloted?
- Is it cost-effective?
- Does the submission address the needs and points of view of all of the extended care team, the patient and the patient’s family?
