The healthcare industry in the U.S. is a $2.26 trillion a year market, representing 16.5% of GDP. Healthcare spending is projected to increase to $4.0 trillion or 20% of GDP by 2015. The scale of the healthcare market includes approximately 545,000 medical establishments including 700,000 physicians and 28,000 hospitals, earning annual revenue of $536.3 billion. As part of the HiTech Act of 2009, it has been mandated that health information be shared electronically across communities. Smart cards have the potential to be a critical and reliable technology solution to meet such a mandate.

133 million American adults, or 66 percent of the adult population, are either overweight or obese. Hospitalization and chronic management cost now exceeds up to $500 billion per year. To keep our population healthy and reduce the burden on healthcare system, preventive care is critically important.
