The Booming Business of Home Health Care
Published on February 7th, 2011Forbes Magazine has posted an article outlining a new business venture between Intel and General Electric. The two companies have committed $250 million dollars to the research of new home health care products over the next five years. The new technology hopes to detect and/or monitor health problems like diabetes, chronic heart failure, lung problems and other chronic ailments so people can live in their homes longer.
According to Jeffrey Immelt, Chief Executive of GE, “This is the first step in what we believe will be a big business going forward.” The more important point came from Intel’s Vice President Louis Burns, “You are not going to be able to take care of [everyone] in hospitals. You are going to have to take care of people in their home.”
With health care costs already out of control, this technology cannot be developed soon enough.
