Healthcare compunetics.
Changes in life expectancy, healthy life expectancy and health seeking behaviour are having an impact on the demand for care. Such changes could occur across the whole population, or for specific groups. Changes for specific groups will be particularly affected by policy initiatives, while both these and wider changes will be affected by people's levels of engagement with their health and the health service itself. Levels of education, income and media coverage of health issues are also important. These factors could also encourage an increase in people caring for themselves and their families or community. People are now expecting a patient-centred service with safe high quality treatment, comfortable accommodation services, fast access and an integrated joined-up system. The uptake of integrated Information and Communication technologies (ICT) will be crucial. Healthcare Compunetics, the combination of computing and networking customised for medical and care, will provide the common policy and framework for combined multi-disciplinary research, development, implementation and usage.

Mobile technology for global health.
Maturing telemedicine technologies, struggling mobile networking revenues and increased personal healthcare awareness have provided the foundations for a new market niche that of '3G Medicine'. During the last 5 years, telemedicine (based on internet and web technologies) is becoming a reality both in terms of developing technologies and supportive legislation. Within Europe wireless infrastructures (3G Networking) has received a huge investment and although not well defined in how it will be achieved healthcare has been identified as a major stream of revenue with personal healthcare (e.g. EHCR on the handset) being a key issue especially for the handset manufactures. Combined with an increased awareness not only for outpatients but also for the "well-worried" (healthy and health conscious) 3G Medicine Services will play an important role in personal healthcare management. Subsequently, the development of supportive 3G Medicine products and services will also create a new niche market economy for companies, especially SME's, to develop a range of collaborative technologies.
