Program:

Keynote 1: 9:30AM

Open Architecture for Maximizing the Impact of Mobile Health

Mobile phones offer affordable, proximate, personalized, and continuous measurement and interaction, supporting chronic disease prevention and management as part of daily life, 24×7. The data streams generated by mHealth applications contribute simultaneously to three essential feedback loops: participant self-care, clinical care, and research evidence. The most significant innovation bottleneck is the slow evolution and validation of sensemaking techniques for extracting and evaluating relevant data features and patterns to drive these feedback loops. The aim is to catalyze an open community and bootstrap rapid cycles of design, deployment, learning, sharing, and evidence generation using an open software architecture to maximize the impact of mobile health. An overview of current OpenmHealth activities ( http://Openmhealth.org ) as well as opportunities for innovators and entrepreneurs to participate and collaborate will be discussed.

Speaker- Dr. Ida Sim, Phd, MD

Her research is focused on knowledge-based technologies for evidence-based practice, especially in the ontological representation of human studies for advancing clinical and translational research. She recently co-founded OpenmHealth.org, a new non-profit to create an open software architecture of shared analysis, data presentation, and experimental design modules to maximize individual and population health through mobile and Internet technologies. In policy work, Dr. Sim was the founding Project Coordinator of the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, which sets global standards on clinical trial registration and reporting.

What do we gain with all this health information?

In his newest book, Experimental Man: What One Man’s Body Reveals about His Future, Your Health, and Our Toxic World, Duncan explores cutting edge technologies in personalized medicine by submitting himself as the guinea pig and putting every aspect of his physical makeup under the microscope. He chronicles his investigation, during which clinicians examined his genes, environment, brain, and body. As perhaps the most tested healthy person in history, Duncan raises the question, “What do we gain with all this information?” Having submitted to further experimentation since the book’s release, this talk will include fresh insights and a look at Duncan’s new company, which makes use of it.

Keynote 3- 3:30PM

Navigating Electronic Clinical Information for Better Care: Application of Natural Language Processing for Instant Access to Relevant Medical Data

As providers increasingly adopt electronic medical records (EMR) into their practices, it is believed that clinical information will be more easily available and accessible to optimize medical care. In practice, however, the complete patient record is fragmented and distributed across data silos and sites of care. Clinical information within an EMR is represented in a multitude of ways including coded problem lists, unstructured text, and scanned documents. It is difficult for an individual physician to review large volumes of data to find key clinical information when needed. The speaker will discuss how using search combined with knowledge extraction based upon natural language processing can enable easy retrieval of relevant aspects of a patient’s medical history to provide better care quality, coordination, and management.

Speaker- Dr. Darren Schulte, MD, MPP

Exhibits-

Adept.com (mobile robot) Adept Technology demonstrates the future of automated healthcare services with its Adept MT400. The MT400 is a small-wheeled platform pre-loaded with robotic software which enables it to autonomously navigate around any indoor setting. In the past, push carts were required to be retrieved by a busy nurse. In contrast, the MT400 enables a shared resource such as a kiosk, video conferencing unit, pharmaceutical dispenser, or medical tool drive itself to a bedside without changes in building infrastructure or human intervention.

Bosch Healthcare With a 125-year track record in innovation excellence and more than 10 years of experience in telehealth, Bosch Healthcare is addressing tomorrow's healthcare needs today. Our Health Buddy and T400 telehealth systems enable healthcare professionals to manage more than 50,000 patients with a wide range of chronic disease conditions.
