Medical technology. It has helped the healthcare industry become more patient-centric, value-based and transparent. It has enabled over-booked clinics and time-strapped physicians. And it has birthed a new DTC marketplace for giants like Amazon, Google and Apple to disrupt. Join us for a walk-through of the patient journey, in which we’ll discuss the “patient” as a “consumer,” and chart the impact and possibility of technology’s convergence with medicine.

We are finally realizing the promise of anonymous-patient data for the health and wellness industry. The accelerated use of this data brings increased competition to the marketplace. Everyone seems to have an opinion, a model or a best practice. How can we keep up with the pace? How should we evaluate new offerings? How do we realize accountability and transparency? In this session we will discuss practical solutions for complex choices and we will expose some of the myths associated with data use and misuse.

Have you ever been faced with the need to have a tough conversation with a loved one about a health issue and didn’t know where to begin? We’re not taught how to navigate these talks, so we often delay or avoid them because of the stressful nature. In this session, a panel of experts will discuss the need for solutions that support people during these “points of concern” and reinforce how empathetic content and technology can work together to drive proactive healthy conversations.

In this illuminating session, visionary panelists will dive into how real-time data integration across self reported data, social determinants, Rx, device and lab data, as well as a geospatial lenses into the data, will change the way we measure, intervene and navigate better health. Well-being has been proven to carry significant relationships with health outcomes, as well as diagnostic capability for intervention. A next generation approach, will illustrate how health goes beyond genetics, lifestyle choices, and even social factors, and shifts toward how environment is a critical driver in health, and how it can be influenced through evidence-based protocols. Experts have concluded that the social determinants of health account for up to 80 percent of total patient wellness and impact up to half of all patients, according to some estimates. For innovative healthcare marketers, the ability to map, message and engage through the lens of community well being, will be a critical factor moving forward as consumer-driven healthcare evolves.
