The large cohorts moving into old age in the coming decades may bring the fiscal sustainability of current health and long-term care systems into question in different countries; health spending of government is projected to increase further due to costly new medical technologies and population ageing. According to Department of Health, in 2003, nearly 15.9% of government health expenditure were utilized for the diseases of diabetes cardiac hypertensive and apoplectic, which is 2.25 times higher than cancer and this figure is gradually increasing every year. To respond to this growing demand, government has been dedicating to develop new strategies by applying advanced technologies to ensure the access of relevant care and quality of services and make care affordable. In 2006 Aug, the STAG (Science & Technology Advisory Group) has steered the ICT Platform Review and development as the major topic discussed in the meeting of SBR (Strategic Review Board) of the Executive Yuan to promote further development of applications and technologies. By integrating the structure of ICT platform, the main aim of this paper is based on metabolic syndromes and the concept of group therapy to categorize and analyze different types of generations lifestyles and health demands to provide services with a choice of care options including health prevention monitoring and surveillance among various levels and also, enabling person s self-health management and enhance the prevention control of metabolic syndrome to reduce the need of health expenditure. This research was supported by the e-Application Innovation Four-year Project (2/4) of Institute for Information Industry and sponsored by MOEA, ROC. |
