Case Study: European Public Health Providing Company achieves better chronic care management and reduced costs with Avanade's Kinect-based telecare solution

European Public Health Providing Company - Customer Case Study

A large Spanish healthcare provider facing a growing population of chronically ill patients — driven by increasing life expectancy — wanted an innovative, cost‑effective way to monitor, communicate with and treat patients remotely to improve care and reduce costs.

Avanade and Accenture delivered a proof‑of‑concept Telecare system built on Microsoft Kinect that uses gesture‑driven controls, 3D body‑movement tracking and video conferencing so nurses can check vitals, verify exercises and consult confidentially from home. The solution improved patient quality of life and peace of mind, made virtual care easy for staff and helped lower costs through earlier intervention, fewer ER visits and reduced hospital admissions.
