Abstract:
Everyone should leverage IoT to improve healthcare outcomes. But who’s “everyone” and how can they truly leverage IoT in meaningful ways? To truly harness the promise of IoT in healthcare, it’s critical to understand how data generated from these devices can be used by various industry stakeholders.
Enjoy a discussion from industry leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem—including analytics, telehealth, devices, and clinicians—as they discuss essential functionality of IoT devices, as well as the data generated from those devices.

Catherine (CJ) Robison, BSN, RN, is a Health Innovation Scientist at Oracle Health – Propelled by the belief that data, research and innovative solutions have the power to transform healthcare, CJ Robison has developed a diverse and extensive portfolio of expertise in the medical field. As a registered nurse with a degree in biology, CJ began her career on a medical-surgical floor that specializes in geriatric oncology. Following her time in direct patient care, she served as the Magnet Program Director and Manager of Professional Practice at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Virginia where she was instrumental in improving electronic workflows, running workload-acuity models and quantifying resources required to deliver care. Following this effort, CJ went on to design and manage an array of process improvement initiatives across Sentara. During the early days of the Pandemic, CJ led a region-wide COVID-mask-making initiative, managing over 1,000 volunteers. In three months, over 40,000 masks were delivered to nearly 100 organizations throughout the Hampton Roads region. In her “free” time, CJ enjoys spending time with her three rambunctious children, reading extensively and riding horses.
