    mHealth Research –  you don’t need to die to donate your body (data) to science!

    What do you think about when you hear the terms “Medical Research” or “Clinical Trials”? Are you one of many of us who understand the value of research but cannot find the time to participate so leave it to others? But what if you could contribute to the ‘greater good’ whilst simply managing your own health condition? How worthwhile would it be to contribute your body (data) to science, with the goal being to drive improved population health for everyone, yourself included?

With people not wanting to pay more for healthcare, insurers face a huge challenge ensuring quality outcomes and cost are not ‘either/or’ issues for healthcare.

    Keeping out of hospital – a key to better health?

    According to an interesting and somewhat perplexing statistic in a recent The Conversation article: Almost 2% of all hospital beds are occupied by “maintenance care” patients. Many of them may be waiting to have home care arranged or are waiting for a bed in residential aged care.” The article continues: “The solution is not necessarily more hospital beds. A better answer might be to use existing beds better through better prevention, better discharge planning and improved e
