Spectrum Enterprise Survey Points to Better, Broadband-Powered Healthcare![]() The common theme for network operators in the sea of HIMSS 2019 announcements is really straightforward: advanced health services -- with remote monitoring, AR/VR and other applications -- demand advanced broadband networks. "What all of these patient experience technologies have in common is that they can’t be delivered effectively without a foundation of stable, secure, high-capacity connectivity," said Satya Parimi, group vice president of Data Products at Spectrum Enterprise, which recently hired HIMSS Analytics to conduct a study on patient experience.
HIMSS Analytics detected five opportunities, many of which health providers had not prioritized, said Parimi. Service providers like Spectrum Enterprise see opportunities among these technologies, especially where they leverage the operator's existing expertise in fiber and video delivery, as well as newer subjects such as mobile, Parimi noted. These opportunities include:
Regardless of the patient experience solutions they plan to adopt, healthcare providers -- be they hospitals, clinics or doctor offices -- and service providers have lots of upside and opportunity to work together and use high-speed broadband infrastructure to underpin a better experience, for end-customers and patients.

12 p.m. New York / 5 p.m. London Consumers are buying millions of IoT devices, from smart thermostats and security systems to intelligent entertainment setups and furniture. Yet many of these devices remain isolated because home users are uncomfortable connecting them to each other – or even their WiFi. After all, their WiFi network was probably designed only to handle a few laptops, a gaming system and a couple of smartphones. Now, demand on the network is surging and even though you're delivering 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, that doesn't necessarily mean the broadband power is in the right place or reaches every corner of a home. Even if WiFi coverage is sufficient, typing is not on trend. Voice is far more natural, easier and faster. Using a TV keyboard is archaic when more and more households have access to cloud-based voice services, like Amazon Alexa. This webinar will explore how service providers can create a comfortable, truly smart home for consumers – simultaneously driving up margin and loyalty. ![]() |
