Resumo: The goal of this dissertation is to determine the business impact of IoT and remote monitoring on patients with chronic diseases in Germany. Therefore, expert interviews with representatives of the four major affected stakeholder groups were conducted. These four groups consist of statutory health insurance companies, businesses, doctors and patients. The aim of these interviews was to assess the current status of IoT and remote monitoring in the German healthcare system and to find out about the main obstacles that currently keep the business impact at a low level. Although only representatives from the first three groups could be interviewed all interviewees agreed that IoT is in its early stages in Germany. The main obstacles impeding a significant growth of IoT and remote monitoring in Germany are identified as technological, regulatory, and cultural ones. Additionally, the self-governing structures of the German healthcare system and the multidisciplinary approach of already ongoing IoT projects complicate the diffusion of IoT solutions. Despite these barriers the interviewed experts are convinced that IoT and remote monitoring will prevail in Germany sooner or later.

Portanto, foram conduzidas entrevistas com representantes dos quatro maiores grupos de intervenientes afetados. Estes quatro grupos consistem em seguradoras de saúde, negócios, médicos e pacientes. O objetivo destas entrevistas foi aferir o estado atual da IoT e monitorização remota no sistema de saúde Alemão e averiguar os principais obstáculos que mantêm atualmente um baixo nível de impacto económico. Apesar de apenas os representantes dos primeiros três grupos terem sido entrevistados, todos concordaram que a IoT está na sua fase inicial na Alemanha. Os maiores obstáculos que impedem um crescimento significativo da IoT e monitorização remota na Alemanha foram identificados como sendo tecnológicos, regulatórios e culturais. Para além do mais, as estruturas autónomas do sistema de saúde Alemão e a abordagem multidisciplinar dos projetos de IoT já em curso complicam a difusão de soluções IoT. Não obstante estas barreiras, os especialistas entrevistados estão convencidos que a IoT e monitorização remota vai prevalecer na Alemanha mais tarde ou mais cedo.Saraiva, Gonçalo de Oliveira Vieira DinisVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaHorvath, Anna-Sophia2020-01-10T14:22:53Z2019-07-0320192019-07-03T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/29179TID:202271285enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:34:42Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/29179Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:23:25.823245Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
