Title: Smart Healthcare Delivery using Connected Health IT
For the last decade or so, our daily lives are surrounded by more state-of-the-art technologies than ever before. With the advancement from the fourth industrial revolution, sensor networks are added to our already well-connected society and we are now living in a super connected society where everything is communicating with each other. However, when it comes to the delivery of healthcare, the connectivity becomes challenging and patients suffer from the discontinuity of clinical information due to lack of communication and episode based care delivery from within and across care settings. The resulting consequences include poor patient outcome, astronomical medical expenses and even deaths by preventable medical mistakes. The preventable medical mistakes indicated that there is a failure in the coordination among the caregivers and in sharing of the medical records at right time, with right people, and in right place. The astronomical medical expense suggested that effective and accessible preventive care must be provided to each individual before any serious disease is fully developed. In this talk, I’d like to discuss about current applicable health IT technologies and their applications for the delivery of smart and connected healthcare for everyone.
