- Abstract
An ageing population and chronic disease are putting pressure on the Irish health system. The field of eHealth is rapidly evolving and has the potential to become an important component of healthcare, but there appears to be a gap currently between research in this field and the integration of eHealth technology into clinical practice. During the eHealth Ireland Ecosystem Conference held in April 2018, a workshop was conducted to explore the barriers and facilitators to the adoption of eHealth technology, particularly remote monitoring systems in community and home cardiac care. Participants included clinicians, academic researchers, technologists, patient advocates, policy makers, and representatives from the health service. The conversations in the workshop pivoted around why technology systems in cardiac care rarely moved beyond the research project stage and what can be done to address this issue. The discussions in the workshop focused around the lack of funding available, the need for reimbursement models, the lack of awareness about remote monitoring, the angst about who is responsible for the data generated, the design of systems, regulatory standards, and the increasing demand on services, education, and patient empowerment.
