Empowering Health Consumers through QS by Peter Klement (https://www.meetup.com/SydneyQS/members/32128872/)

Technology allows us to measure ourselves, but the measurements alone are in many cases not good enough. People may not understand what specific measurements mean and need guidance not only to interpret and analyse the data about them, but also on how they can improve their health. Traditionally this is the domain of healthcare professionals, but many times people only visit them once they are sick. Wouldn’t it be better to prevent sickness instead of treating it? What would be the impact on the healthcare system and healthcare costs? This is the area the project iHealth4Me is in.

Peter’s presentation will detail how a global team of professors, developers and suits work together on a vision to combine health tracking, EMR/PCEHR and DNA data to empower consumers to professionally manage their health via technology, while giving access to health professionals if needed.
