We’ll reserve this space for various articles, blog postings, Tweetstreams and insights about the Connected Health Symposium, held 20-21 October, sponsored by the Center for Connected Health. With regrets once again, Ed. Donna was otherwise engaged and was unable to take that not-too-long train ride north. Your comments/reflections invited.
Connected Health Symposium looks for answers to healthcare’s troubling questions. HealthcareITNews
The official CHS Tweetstream (#chs11)
Dr. Joseph Kvedar’s cHealth Blog on the MIT Media Lab presence at CHS, representing the objective assessment of patient via reactions to emotional stimuli, ‘affective computing’, and the role of ‘relational agents‘ (who can help to deliver healthcare).
From the HIT perspective, Melody Smith Jones attending from the Perficient technology consulting firm on Meeting patients halfway reduces costs. “Everyone is discussing ways to best engage patients and, not surprisingly, what the price tag of such ambitious efforts will amount to.”
Connected Health Symposium offers pitfalls and possibilities for wireless innovation. MobileHealthWatch reports that there was an emphasis on low-cost innovations in wireless health, specifically “pilot projects that look really great at conferences but that no one ever uses,” as well as projects that look great when they’re launched, then die out when the money runs out.”
Hey Donna, Thanks for that. I attended Connected Health and had a great time.
I have linked here [url]http://grandcare.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/connected-health-symposium-11-recap/[/url] to our blog where we recapped Wednesday and Thursday of Connected Health (unfortunately I had to miss Friday) :(
Thanks for your compilation, Donna!!
