Digital health and digital biomarkers – enabling value chains on health data

Abstract Smart Devices, IoT and Co. are changing healthcare. The possibilities for pervasive sensing and analysis are fast increasing and new therapy concepts as well as business models are arising, related to the term “Digital Health”. The paper will give a brief overview on the history and ask, whether Digital Health is more than Telemedicine 4.0. Furthermore, we will ask for the prospective currency to participate in new preventive offer. Data is the new oil – Digital Biomarkers enable new value chains on health data and allow for the personalization of healthcare. We will present ongoing work of Fraunhofer ISST on a Digital Biomarker called beHealthy Health Score.
