If you're at a loose end in Indy, Weds May 1st 2013, 02:36 Blatant promotion coming up: At the conference of the people who really rule the world (PR types) I’m giving a relatively long talk tomorrow titled How Health 2.0 technologies will change health care for doctors, hospitals, patients and everyone else.–And why mHealth shouldn’t–and doesn’t–exist Below the fold is the blurb, and here’s the information. It’s in the Eli Lilly Heritage Hall and Conf Center, and I suspect if you sneak in and claim you know about PR they’ll let you in, and for sure if you buy a ticket. But the most fun part is that I’ve brought lots of toys including the Bodymedia armband, the AliveCor ECG, the Withings Blood Pressure cuff, and will be doing demos of a bunch more–as well as doing videos of the people who do demos better! Matthew Holt Here’s more: Health 2.0 is a revolution that focuses on three aspects of technology. –Adaptable, interchangeable, easy to use technology –A staunch focus on the user experience –Data: receiving it, moving it, analyzing it and delivering it to improve decisions The result is something never before seen in health care –the capacity for patients to truly become part of the health care team, and a resulting fundamental change in everything about the future of health and health care. It’s going to be fun! Meanwhile the world–and by extension health care–has been transformed by a new set of information devices, including but not limited to smart phones. But the desire of both wireless carriers and several industry pundits to create a new buzzword (“mHealth”) in fact is reducing the potential impact of the ability to move data and decisions between multiple devices and “unplatforms.” In this talk I’ll not only tell you why mHealth shouldn’t–and in fact doesn’t exist–but I’ll explain how the biggest potential of these new technologies is their inclusion as an everyday part of health care, not a new trend or industry segment. Given that we have lots of time for the session, we’ll have extensive audience interaction, and I’ll also run multiple live demos of applications, sensors and more, that show what the real potential of this movement will be. And I’ll even let the audience choose which apps and sites I show!
