“MobiHealthNews had the opportunity to interview George MacGinnis with the Assistive Technology Programme at the NHS Connecting for Health in the UK at the Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit in London earlier this month. MacGinnis explained the differences between telecare and telehealth, how the UK enjoys a lead on the US and other countries when it comes to some telemedicine penetration rates, and how Continua’s work toward personal medical device interoperability is key. MacGinnis stressed that the UK learned from its EHR rollout that interoperability was what would really make these systems very useful. He seems determined not to lose the fight for interoperability among remote monitoring devices and systems.”
