CONFERENCE SESSION DETAILS
The Power of Empowering Patients Through Mobile Technology
This session will be preceded by a keynote address by Dr. Joseph Kvedar, Vice President of
Partners Center for Connected Health, and then Dr. Kvedar will moderate the discussion. The
panelists represent a long-term care and retirement facility, a network systems company, and a
legal expert in health technology policy. They will discuss how mobile technology can improve
access to care and increase patient engagement, and how these innovative technologies will
challenge providers, payers, data analysts and other health care stakeholders to adapt their
systems and processes.
Big Data Interoperability: Connecting Administrative, Clinical, and Patient-Generated Data
New England has some of the leading health information exchanges in the U.S. As technology
rapidly advances, these exchanges will be challenged with not only transmitting administrative
and clinical data among providers, but data generated by patients through mobile devices as
discussed in our previous panel. The panelists represent HIEs and data organizations in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, and the discussion will be moderated by the
New England HIMSS Board HIE liaison.
Keynote Address: Juhan Sonin, Involution Studio
Remember doctor's visits when you were growing up? The wooden tongue depressor. The wellworn stethoscope. That weird thing they jammed in your ears. And now, my young children are
getting about that same treatment. But that is going to change.
As design harnesses digital, materials and networking technologies, a very new health
experience is just over the horizon. Proactive, lifestyle design. Tracking real-time health data.
Non-invasive tools. Custom "just for you" treatments based on your actual genome. These are
all real technologies, being used by ordinary people. Together they are leading us to "stage
zero" detection and treatment which has the potential to double or better the lifespan of every
first-world citizen. Not science fiction, the children of the 2020s will only know this reality.
Tongue depressors will be limited to school craft projects and popsicles. And it is all the product
of technology and design.
From Bathroom to Healthroom introduces participants to the macro factors shaping these
realities, along with an in-depth exploration of the various impacts of and opportunities for
design.
Innovators Pitch-a-thon
As part of our theme of innovation, we’re having a competition of new, dynamic companies
that will make brief presentations about their products and solutions. The attendees will have
the opportunity to vote on the best presenters, and then these companies will win a prize. This
will be a “mini-Datapalooza” for New England HIMSS members.
Innovations in Care Delivery
Throughout the day we have learned about innovations in mobile devices, data exchange and
analysis, software design, and various initiatives presented by the Pitch-a-thon participants.
We’ll conclude our program by discussing ways that these ideas can be implemented delivering
care to patients. The discussion will be moderated by Stacey Eccleston of HCI3, which has been
an innovator in developing value-based purchasing solutions.
