Philips together with West Moreton Hospital and Health Service (WMHHS) and Queensland Health launched a connected health program, MeCare, using the latest health data technologies. The program will deliver proactive, continuous and integrated patient care for Australians with complex chronic illness who consequently have reduced quality of life and require frequent hospitalisations. 
MeCare aims to improve the health and quality of life for individuals from the  community with chronically poor health, while providing significant economic benefits also to the hospital and health system. The program is tackling the challenges of increased expectations to improve self-management, to be treated closer to home, of an ageing population and of increased pressure on the hospital system, by transforming the delivery of care supported by connected health technology.
