Session Abstract:

Given the dramatic changes in healthcare regulation combined with the consumerization of healthcare, it’s becoming increasingly clear to everyone that a bottom-up redesign of physician-individual interactions needs to happen, and happen soon. Leading providers trying solve for industry challenges like interoperability—within their own insular bubbles, using only their own resources, cobbled together to support their legacy solutions—are failing. The result? Despite myriad innovative IoT technologies and capabilities on the market, U.S. healthcare is becoming more and more expensive, yet less and less productive, with each passing year.

To truly transform healthcare, we must switch perspectives. We must focus less on preserving existing business models and protecting the data siloes we’ve created, and more on how to redesign the system by taking a bottoms-up approach that will work for individuals, physicians, providers, and payers alike. Innovation in healthcare calls for the freeing of data at the individual level, so that people can easily share their information with their physicians, whenever and wherever they choose. With the massive shift from acute care to chronic disease management, the real breakthroughs we seek can only occur by connecting lives and data systems across provider systems, throughout physicians’ offices, and into people’s daily routines in their communities.

Now more than ever, we must think differently. We must redesign our healthcare system so that it empowers and enables both individuals and physicians to have the data they need at their fingertips, whenever and wherever they need it. For that to happen, we need to stop bolting things on to poorly performing systems and instead take a bottoms-up approach to healthcare innovation that incorporates IoT technologies in ways that support the physician-patient relationship, securely enable data flow, and ensure real-time communication between all authorized parties.
