Aquilent is pleased to announce the list of speakers for the upcoming Health 2.0 STAT event on Thursday, October 25, 2012, at The Barking Dog in Bethesda. Registration is now open!

Plan to join us the evening of October 25th to hear a rapid-fire series of short presentations from five Health 2.0 leaders. The presentations will be followed by a panel style Q&A session, led by a moderator, who will facilitate and explore a range of topics. The presentations will highlight results associated with the innovative implementation and use of Web 2.0 based solutions in the healthcare market, at government agencies, and from a patient and user perspective.

Topics and Speaker Bios:

1) Stopbullying.gov

Stopbullying.gov was launched in March 2011 at the White House Council on Bullying Prevention, as the result of a high-level administration initiative involving both the President and First Lady. A partnership between HHS and the Department of Education, it was originally conceived as a one-stop-shop for information about bullying in schools and communities. After feedback to the launch showed a desire for more practical information, it was re-launched in April 2012 with a more practical, how-to-handle-bullying focus. In September it gained a blog and an upgraded kids section featuring games and videos. The site receives about 250,000 visits per month. Its Facebook page has been liked over 40,000 times and its Twitter feed has over 17,000 followers.

Craig Stoltz is the Content Team Leader for the Web Communications Division at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In this position, he leads the team of content managers that produce such sites as healthcare.gov, flu.gov, vaccines.gov, foodsafety.gov, stopmedicarefraud.gov, and stopbullying.gov. Each of these sites combines resources from across HHS and in some cases across the federal government, creating communication and coordination challenges among traditionally siloed organizations. He also leads the Division’s plain language efforts.

Craig joined federal service in 2009 and came to HHS in 2010 to help launch healthcare.gov. Before that he ran his own business as a digital consultant, with clients including the AMA, the Corporate Executive Board, PBS, USA Today, and many others. In a moment of weakness, Time.com declared his blog, Web 2.0h. . .Really?, among the Top 25 in the nation. Prior to that he had a long career at The Washington Post.

5) Think Global, Act Mobile: How mobile technologies are helping to change the face of global public health

There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates the potential of mobile communications to drastically improve healthcare services, even in some of the most remote and poverty-stricken locations worldwide. In many parts of the world, epidemics, natural disasters, and a shortage of healthcare workers continue to present challenges; however, over the last decade, the explosive growth of mobile communications offers a new hope for the promotion of quality healthcare. This presentation will focus on how mobile technologies have helped impact health awareness, outcomes, and behavior change in the developing world.
