Rumored to be announced this Tuesday during Stream Health, iOS8 and the new iPhone 6 and possibly an Apple wearable will likely usher in a completely new chapter in healthcare, transformed by the relentless wheel of the mobile lifestyle. Apple is launching more than just hardware with an app that will let you use your health and fitness information in an entirely new way. They are also releasing a new tool for developers, agencies and providers called HealthKit, which allows all health and fitness apps, devices, providers, record keepers and third parties to finally work together, and work harder, for consumers and patients. It just might be the beginning of a health revolution. I'll tell you what you need to know about HealthKit, then we'll all discuss and debate what's about to happen at the intersection of Healthcare and the Mobile Lifestyle.

We're living in a digital world, and it's taking a toll on our eyes. With tablets, smartphones, LED lighting indoors and the sun outdoors, we are surrounded on all sides by light, including damaging UV and blue light sources. PROBLEM: UV Light is not only a major risk factor for many skin diseases, but is also a risk factor for eye diseases, including cataracts. Blue-Violet Light is harmful to retinal cells and is one of the risk factors for the onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the number one cause of severe vision loss and legal blindness in adults over 60. SOLUTION: Join our group and find out solutions that exist and bring your ideas to the table about how we create top of mind awareness of the importance of eye health in a technology-driven world.

Predictive analytics has been around for a long time. Wall Street applies algorithmic trading to predict and act on real time data. Banks and credit card companies have refined their ability to predict who is likely to be a "good" customer. Healthcare, as usual, is late to the party. The be fair, healthcare barriers are high, but unlocking the potential of predictive analytics can create dramatic value and offer a competitive advantage. To name a few areas to benefit: communication and advertising, programmatic, targeting patient engagement initiatives, improving patient adherence, improving outcomes and more.

Evolution in technology is constantly offering new capabilities in the way we create and deliver content and new tools to measure and understand how audiences consume and engage with it. Keeping pace with technological innovation in large healthcare and life sciences companies, where digital marketing functions are often centralized into global services organisations, is a constant headache. So how does innovation fit into the central services model, where scale, standardised approaches and cost efficiency are often the core mission? How do internal customers cooperate to become early adopters and agents for change? How can an innovative and agile approach sit comfortably with sensible governance and compliance? Can central services become the new innovators in digital marketing?

Let's talk about aging. In the US, 43.5 million of adult family caregivers care for someone 50+ years of age and 14.9 million care for someone who has Alzheimer's disease or other dementia. Despite these billions of hours of unpaid care and personal sacrifice, direct financial costs are enormous, with e.g. $214 billion spent last year just on Alzheimer's care in the US. What are the challenges and opportunities in the field of aging and care for the aged?

In the future, patients will be followed by their clouds of personal health information, like Pig-Pen with his cloud of dirt in the comic strip Peanuts. As this cloud grows by orders of magnitude, advanced algorithms, powerful NLP, semantic taxonomies, search engines, clinical rules engines, and other technologies, will tap into this cloud to normalize, classify, and enrich the data. Will we find valuable signal or just more noise? Will Big Data usher in an era of personalized health where each person’s health status is understood and treated uniquely or will that goal be elusive? The Pig-Pen Cloud will shift the focus of health from descriptive/prescriptive (what happened and what should we do about it) to predictive (what is likely to happen and what changes we can make early on to modify the probabilities). What will work and what will the challenges be?

Despite loads of data and research people still smoke, eat unhealthy food, and become overweight. With at-home BGM technology people with type 2 diabetes have access to their blood glucose data but still significant numbers of patients are in poor control and there has been little change in % meeting control targets, while the population continues to expand. Can all the new technology and access to even more data change long-term healthy behavior? Could the consumer-led approach to healthcare by engaging with consumers on a personalized level be the way in which we crack the code on behavior change?

Why is the healthier option always more expensive? And why is the affordable option so bad for us? The current health crisis stems from what we are putting in our body. The packaged food and beverage industry is giving us products that are low in nutrition and high in salt, fat, and sugar. In a world of renewable energy, big data, and global connectivity, the food and beverage industries appear positively medieval. But it doesn't have to be this way: thanks to scientific advances, and new nutritional know-how, we can make the healthier option the affordable (and tasty!) option. Come join us to hear about a healthy probiotic soda that can help to support your digestive system and boost your immune health; and a delicious cookie that is saving a billion acres of land, water, reducing carbon emissions and cholesterol. Both are challenging the status quo of consumer packaged foods. Bring your own ideas to discuss how we can further disrupt the food industry and bring healthier, affordable products to mass market consumers' taste buds.

There are a set of assets that are pretty much universal (or becoming so) for pharma promotion: responsive websites and iPad details might be the obvious ones. In each country, we're all working to satisfy the same regulations. Yet even within each pharma company we see wildly disparate direction on balance and access. Perhaps there's an opportunity to use Stream Health to start a movement towards standardizing some of our approaches across the industry (and validating those standards with the regulatory bodies). The goal would be allowing pharma marketers and agencies to spend less time thinking about where the lines are, and more time coloring better pictures within them...

Leading physician blogger, KevinMD, wrote recently that “doctors are quietly being buried by electronic information overload.” Over 60% of physicians spend 20 or more hours a week on duties outside of their patient consultations. This includes managing their EMR, staying on top of the latest news and data, securing CME credits and responding to an “avalanche” of notifications, alerts, and orders, each one of which requires action. Meanwhile, as the volume of information increases, so does the need for a deeper context and the implications for clinical practice. How do today’s physicians stay on top of this mountain of information and avoid burnout? How can marketers reach their customers in a context that will make their content relevant and meaningful? Join this group to explore how much contextual information is provided with the news, examine the role of technology in enhancing the user experience and explore what this means for today’s marketers.

There has never been more ways to reach healthcare providers (HCPs)—yet it’s never been so challenging to effectively engage them. Driven by the decline in face-to-face interactions and the availability of on-demand access to digital channels, HCPs now choose when, where, how, and if they interact with pharmaceutical companies. What do we need to know about the individual HCP to improve engagement? With more than $60 billion being spent annually on marketing and communications to HCPs, pharmaceutical marketers need to reinvent how they allocate, optimize, and justify spend through real-time, data-based insights, and intelligence. Join a discussion on what constitutes a high value physician in today’s digital age and brainstorm how best to reach and engage them.

We are all aware of the key challenges in healthcare - Cost, Access, Quality, Aging & Chronic Diseases, Over-regulation and 'non ready'/disconnected systems and processes to handle the realities of today. At the same time, technology evolution becomes the disruptor & enabler to address some of these challenges. What is really needed at this stage is to create an inclusive environment locally and globally for faster and better impacts. The following scenarios may hint towards this recommendation. We can expand our view & try to discover other such hidden dots. 1. I DO - In today's connected world, how can we productively engage patients & health enthusiasts to help improve the healthcare system's effectiveness and outcomes? Can they become accountable for any improvements or deterioration in their own health and may be also for their immediate family & neighborhood? 2. Reverse Innovation Vs. Regulations - Some of the best frugal innovations are happening in the developing world. E.g. GE Healthcare's India team built a $800 EKG machine (as compared to a $ 10K machine in the US), ideal to survive and deliver results in the harsh conditions of the Indian villages. The machine produces EKG reports for as low as $2. The question is - is FDA or any other regulatory agency open to allowing usage of such products/platforms built in developing world to be used in US. This may positively address the challenges of cost etc.

We are living at marvelous era of great medical technology/pharma/e-health innovations, facilitating meaningful healthcare improvements. We are generating loads of health related data, shifting Healthcare back home and expect self-care to prevent, control and even cure diseases. Thus patients are required to understand excessive medical information and follow complex instructions. Does it make sense to them? To you? 9 out of 10 people need help understanding their health information. Low health literacy is a major source of economic inefficiency in the U.S. healthcare system (~$200 billion annually). How can we help patients to “get it”? We need to simplify the complexities and make it clearer. What do you think? Let's discuss Some thinking points: With new medications and devices we are now moving healthcare back home. Treatments that once required hospitalization are now taken at home. Specialty medications are the fastest-growing - and the most expensive - segment of pharmacy care. Patients using specialty drugs have complex conditions and care needs that require support and coordination. Spending on specialty drugs in 2012 in the United States was about $87 billion. Estimates suggest that it could quadruple by 2020, reaching about $400 billion, or 9.1 percent of national health spending. A patient discharged from hospital is often required to obtain and self-administer medications, perform self-care activities, manage nutritional needs, follow-up with designated providers and more. About 80% will not understand their home care instructions. Are those instructions clear enough? Do they truly understand what to do? Is this contributing to the revolving door syndrome (Readmissions)? Quantified self is here - 7 in 10 U.S. adults say they track at least one health indicator. For example, In the past your heart rate was documented few times a year, now you can measure and document it 250 times per second. This will generate about 9Gb of data per month per person, but does it mean anything? Will searching Dr. Google solve it?

In 2012 the US Pharma industry spent $15B on “detailing” - marketing drugs to physicians – and employed over 72,000 sales reps.

Real-world outcomes in healthcare often fall short of those seen in trials. As integrated health systems become the norm, and the Affordable Care Act comes on line, Big Data analyses reveal chronic patterns of under-treatment and under-performance of healthcare delivery. Fulfilling the promise of “patient centered medicine”, we have seen that the most successful new health initiatives are based on individually tailored, integrated mobile, social, and wearable technologies. This is called going “beyond the pill.” This integrated approach leverages emerging mobile health technology (smartphones, personal technology sensors connected to medical devices, professional EHR and HIE systems, and social platforms), enabled through coordinating super-platforms and paired with deliberate social communities. Beyond the pill is the next generation of healthcare, providing individual attention and real-time, personalized, contextually relevant communication to help patients optimize their treatment journey and improve outcomes

Weirdly though, in the real world, wearable tech has not made it's humungous impact, with the exception of the healthcare industry, where wearable devices, have found their true home. Think fitness and exercise with Nike+, Fitbit and Jawbone; Instant patient data records in consultations, augmented surgery via augmented reality and recovery/therapy by recording and evaluating a patients exercise..each using Google Glass. Not tech enough!? How about and on its way, contact lenses with microscopic sensors that monitor blood sugar levels, then extrapolating this innovation to monitoring how long you blink and how long your eyes stay shut while driving.....So where's it all going and How will YOU wear yours? and more importantly, how will wearable tech influence healthcare in the future?

Coined in 2007 by the editors of WIRED Magazine, the QS movement has been around for 7 years. But with the influx of non-intrusive, affordable technology it is set to enter the mainstream. The self-tracking data that comprises the QS movement includes everything from food& beverage trackers, sleep patterns, quality of air you breathe, mood and stress levels, physical activity and bio-metric data such as blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate,etc. These are tracked using a range of wearable device (e.g. FitBit, Internet-connected medical devices) and mobile apps (e.g. MyFitnessPal). How can we leverage the data coming from the QS movement to deepen our understanding of the patient experience. What insights can we garner that would be actionable for clients? Also, may wearable devices be a new medium for advertising/marketing activity? This is a new frontier from both a market research and marketing perspective. We should share thoughts and ideas so we can be at the forefront!

The Affordable Care Act is dramatically changing the landscape of community health investment. As dollars that were previously earmarked for uncovered treatment are re-allocated towards strategic investments to reach new insurers and patients, hospitals and healthcare companies are forced to rethink how their community presence can translate to membership and patient conversion. The problem is, for years, these anchor institutions have been sponsoring health fairs, participating in arbitrary screening opportunities, and supporting nonprofits through grants that were not asked to drive the business. In this discussion, we’ll explore how the landscape of community health investment is shifting, with a particular focus on how to gather metrics in a space that hasn't required a measurable bottom-line ROI.

While all of the current noise in the healthcare industry is around wearable technologies and data collection, the biggest impact on patient outcomes and health management will be centered around EHR/EMR. More than 8o% of U.S. hospitals have this technology, and in the last three years, EHR use has exploded, thanks to more than $20 billion in government-backed funding. The EHR adoption rate for office-based physicians is now hovering around 78%. This technology will enable patients to have access to their data via patient portals, a major paradigm shift on how physicians and patients will manage their health communication. Not only will portals allow for streamlining patient management tasks such as scheduling, but they will also enable the sharing of information from physicians, such as lab results and patient education materials. The opportunity for data in healthcare is huge.
