WELCOMING REMARKS

November 17, 2014

Welcome to NYeC’s Fourth Annual Digital Health Conference.Change is the heart of our business in the healthcare IT community. Today, healthcare and health IT professionals are leveraging health information exchange, big data, mHealth, telemedicine, wearables, and other technologies to advance care and improve the patient experience and outcomes. Additionally, payment reform and the resulting emergence of accountable care models are driving the need for new technological innovations to facilitate care coordination and patient engagement.

What do these changes mean for each of us? What new opportunities will the rapid development in personalization of care bring? Unquestionably, technology has ushered in a new era of consumerism, making goods, services, and transactions more transparent, affordable, and accessible. This has created greater demands from more knowledgeable and empowered customers who want more control over their healthcare and how it is delivered. During these next two days, there will be opportunities to think about these questions in new ways, to create new connections, and to encourage greater collaboration across the ecosystem.

I welcome our keynotes, Eric J. Topol, MD, Director, Scripps Translational Science Institute and Ezekiel J. Emanuel, MD, Vice Provost for Global Initiatives & Chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, University of Pennsylvania.

I would like to thank the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the New York State Department of Health for their support and leadership. I would also like to acknowledge our Qualified Entity partners across the state, our private sector collaborators for their investment in innovations that meet the real needs of hospitals and providers, and all of our partners without whom our ecosystem would not be as robust. You, as organization leaders, have the vision, the knowledge, the wherewithal, and the experience to help us pave our way into the future. Throughout this conference, I ask you to stay engaged, keep us proactive, and help us shape the future of health IT. My personal respect and thanks goes out to all of you.

Consumer Health Data — Potential, Promise, and ProblemsPersonal health data (PHD) coming from wearable devices, smartphone apps, and other sources are new streams of data that are providing us an unprecedented view of people’s everyday behavior and lifestyle. These new data streams, often referred to as “digital footprints,” are growing exponentially as the number of individuals tracking a variety of health related data is growing. If used properly, PHD has the potential to help each of us revolutionize and personalize the healthcare experience as well as transform how research is conducted in medicine, public health, and the social and behavioral sciences. This panel will discuss both the opportunities and challenges facing PHD, including privacy and data ownership, informed consent, data sharing, access, and data quality.

Designing Wearables for the Long RunDesign has a key role to play in the evolution of healthcare as we move toward an age of increased transparency in the system, ownership of health by individuals, and digitally-enabled diagnosis. Wearable technology’s promise for healthcare is no exception: there are major design challenges to tackle around data, hardware and software, habit-formation, and lifestyle. While the adoption of wearables is taking off, the fact is more than half of US consumers who own an activity tracker no longer use them. So how do we help people engage with their health and wellness for the long-term? Design is the key to the success of wearables for healthcare. It can help harness the power of personal data, ensure easy use and durability, and help form better decision-making and lifestyle habits.

The Patient Shark Tank®

Patient communities are emerging as key influencers and disrupting the healthcare landscape. They are impacting strategies, policies, and setting the stage for new patient-centric innovations. Patients are now sought after thought leaders influencing the way healthcare systems think about and interact with patients and prodding them to improve the patient experience. Join us as judges assess innovations from the patient perspective and innovators build their perspective into the innovations designed to serve them. The ultimate goal is to incorporate the voice of patient into the design, development, or enhancement of technology being developed by the healthcare community and move away from the notion: “If you build it they will come.” As each innovator pitches their concept or innovation, our patient panelists will ask targeted questions based on their experiences to understand how the innovation uniquely responds to patient needs, and will use a standard scorecard that was co-designed by patients and caregivers to assess the innovation.

Nutrify is the first enterprise only solution partnering with the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics. We are changing how patient education on diet is done for discharged patients. Nutrify does this by providing patients with a mobile and web application that provides custom meal plans, recipes, restaurant options, and grocery suggestions tailored to the clinical state of that patient. Nutrify’s precise algorithms factor in unique clinical conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, and Crohn’s, as well as food/drug interactions, allergies, and even the patient’s budget for food.

SMAART (Show Me Again, All Recommended Treatments) is an application that automatically records every significant conversation and patient/caregiver interaction. We utilize Google Glass technology to allow the patient to easily initiate a video recording which will be automatically uploaded to an album of videos from the patient’s visit. Afterwards, the patient can watch the videos, listen to what their doctors said to them, hear the answers to their own questions, and re-watch any physical demonstrations that will contribute to their care. These videos can be watched at the patient’s leisure on any computer or mobile technology.

About the New York Digital Health Accelerator The New York Digital Health Accelerator is a program run by the New York eHealth Collaborative and the Partnership Fund for New York City for early- and growth-stage digital health companies that are developing cutting edge technology products for healthcare providers.

The program’s greatest differentiator is that the selected companies gain access to and receive mentorship from senior-level executives at more than 20 of New York State’s leading healthcare provider organizations, ranging from hospitals and long term care providers to community health centers and primary care physicians. In addition, the program focuses on solution spaces closely aligned to critical initiatives within today’s dynamic health care market (e.g., health homes (Medicare), DSRIP (Medicaid), care collaboration).

Inaugurated in 2012, the Accelerator program’s first class was strikingly successful:

• The Accelerator companies launched 17 pilots with healthcare providers.

• The companies created over 120 new high tech jobs in New York.

• Within a year after the conclusion of the program, the companies have raised an additional $24MM from outside sources and two companies have been acquired.

Following the success of the 2012-2013 Accelerator class, we launched our second class in July 2014. Seven growth-stage companies — offering solutions that address care coordination, patient engagement, predictive analytics, and workflow management — were selected and are currently being mentored.

In addition to the participating provider organizations, the Accelerator has integrated several corporate sponsors into the program. The role of a corporate sponsor is to bring knowledge, expertise, and insights from the perspective of a large corporation experienced in the healthcare industry. These organizations act as industry mentors, providing guidance and strategic counseling to the companies. The four sponsors that joined the 2014 class are: Genentech (a Member of the Roche Group), Infor, Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, and Pfizer.

The call for applications for the 2015 Accelerator class is planned for Q1 2015. Up to 10 companies will be accepted into the class and will receive mentorship and feedback from senior-level executives.
