How To Design Killer Apps for Healthy Living (KA4HL)

While this event is now closed to RSVPs, we do have limited 'walk-in' tickets available at $25. If you want to attend please come if possible before the start time and we will try our best to accommodate you! (Cash only please!)

ONC Director Dr. Farzad Mostishari has said, and many agree, that the Patient is the Blockbuster Drug of this century, but that only is true if you can get them to do things that are healthy. What better way than with that ever present device in their hand. Yet 95% of all downloaded apps are never used more than once. This is why this event is so important for any of us who want to make well utilized, viral, behavior-changing apps to make people healthier.

Agenda

First, our KA4HL Rock Stars will give a "Master Class" on the elements of designing KA4HLs from their unique and different perspectives for about 20 minutes each.

Next, a few "Kiler Apps" for Healthy Living will presentapps will be presented and discussed by our panel for useability, clinical utility, and UX.

Finally, the panel will discuss the state of the industry and the future of KA4HL.

Interspersed will be networking breaks and other fun stuff including a great after event location in a library, of all places!
