The personal telehealth ecosystem is on the cusp of an incredible growth opportunity that our respective industries can accelerate through collaboration. As the consumer electronics, home automation, disease management and cellular industries embrace personal telehealth opportunities, we can enable an ecosystem where many diverse vendors can combine their products into new value propositions with significant health benefits for people worldwide. From the generally healthy individuals who wish to track their fitness or diet, to the chronic disease patients whose lives are dramatically improved through embedded life monitoring, there are people who will benefit from an ecosystem of interoperable devices and services that help them to live healthier lives. Our industries have the opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and accelerate this personal telehealth ecosystem now!

Why do specific information technologies succeed or fail to take hold in health care? Numerous health information technologies have failed because they fought entrenched economic interests; did not account for the complexities involved in clinical medicine; were not technically flexible; represented expensive, turn-key installations of thick-client applications; added rather than reduced workload for physicians and staff; and did not engage most important stakeholders in the systems, namely patients. Are Web 2.0 architectures sufficiently different to neutralize the technical, economic and cultural obstacles that have kept health care the least wired of all major US industries?
This session will provide an overview of the history and current prospects for various types of health care information technologies, and will show how the success of each is dependent on:
This session will portray the chronic struggle to digitize health care as an essentially economic one created by third-party payment. Who will broker patient information and connect this brokering to the broader care delivery process? Those marketing new therapies, those providing them, those paying for them – or some combination of all three?
