Digital Health Summit

Dr. Sanjay Gupta opened the conference with a blast, literally. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent led a conversation with innovators who are creating cutting-edge health tech used by the Army in extreme conditions–no doubt leading to groundbreaking consumer applications in the near future.

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Jeff Arnold, CEO, Sharecare, joined the “Breakfast of Health Champions”: a strong signal of both of their commitments to digital health and interest from the general public to use these new tools.

By putting on stage key thought-leaders of this fast-growing industry, the Digital Health Summit provides a unique, multi-faceted view into the markets of digital health tools – from innovation success stories to new trends and best practices to opportunities for collaboration and alliances.

Man + Machine:
Big Strides in Big Data
All this monitoring — active or passive — generates more data than we know what to do with, and that’s in part what Colin Hill (President and CEO, GNS Healthcare) addressed. Creating meaning is key, and not only for disease management and holistic patient care, but also for prevention.

Roar of the Healthy Crowd
2012 also pushed our social media frontiers further, and that’s true in digital health as well. Between crowd-funding, crowd-sourcing of data, and crowd design, we learned all about it.
