THINK TANK 1 – CREATING VALUE AND DRIVING BETTER OUTCOMES FROM THE INTERSECTION OF HEALTHCARE AND TECHNOLOGY

EXECUTIVE BULLETIN

1:30pm New Thinking on Technology Disruption of the Future

James Mault, MD, FACS President and Chief Medical Offi cer CQuentia

Session Abstract:For decades, routine clinical care has been episodic in nature and therapies applied on a one-size-fi ts-all trial and error basis. Healthcare professionals are overwhelmed by existing volumes of clinical data and guidelines that exceed the limits of human cognitive capacity. With the advent of rapid NGS for genomics and medical grade biometric sensors, vast amounts of new, actionable clinical data will be available to customize care for each patient in real-time at the moment of care. In order to assimilate and apply these new data sets into clinical practice, new predictive and prescriptive algorithmic-based artifi cial intelligence (AI) solutions will be essential for analyzing patient specifi c data in real-time, thereby guiding clinical decision-making, treatments, and care to achieve optimal outcomes. These AI algorithms can become Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) FDA 510k solutions that will serve as the basis for Precision Medicine Solutions.

Key Take-Aways:

• Framework for how technology enabled streaming digital is moving healthcare from episodic and generic to continuous and personalized

• Insight on how algorithmic based AI solutions will become the pervasive basis on which smarter, better and cost-effective care is delivered

FROST & SULLIVAN INSIGHT

Greg Caressi Senior Vice President, Transformational Health Frost & Sullivan

Session Abstract:While Artifi cial Intelligence is a much hyped technology, especially with regards to clinical applications, there are current successes and applications of AI being utilized today. Artifi cial Intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing are expected to generate savings over $150 billion for the healthcare industry by 2025. Investments in startups, pilots and new solution developments based on AI is rapidly ramping up across the healthcare ecosystem, from pharma and diagnostics to medical imaging and digital health. Frost & Sullivan will present from our research the current and future applications impacting the healthcare sector, along with where we believe AI will have the biggest opportunity in utilization and acceptance across the healthcare ecosystem.

Key Take-Aways:

• A read on the fi ve biggest opportunities to apply AI in HC

• Insight on how AI will change the competitive landscape for HC sector stakeholders

• A look at where AI is impacting the HC ecosystem today, and what are examples of market leadership in AI applications

CASE HISTORY

2:50pm AI in Health: Opportunities When the Data May be BIG, but the Solution Space is COLOSSAL!

NL Shasha Jumbe, Ph.D. Co-Founder, Electronics & Data Science Stack Context AI

Session Abstract:Minimal health data is collected outside a medical context. Even within a medical context, data collection is intermittent and based on symptomology or population aggregate risk based on demographics. Furthermore, within the medical context, data collection is limited to single or convenient time points. Therefore, a central challenge for AI in personal health empowerment is accurate classifi cation of a population-of-one from sparse data, while also producing rich general representation of health and disease state, status and progression.

Key Take-Aways:

• Key fi ndings that while available disease data is BIG, the solution space of health and disease is COLOSSAL

• Blueprint opportunities in methodology and application development are rife when the health problem is approached as a small data problem

• Framework of AI primitives to accelerate learning and knowledge generation for personalized preventive care; and diagnostic, predictive, prognostic, and therapeutic digital biomarker discovery

AGENDA




3:10pm Moving Toward Consumer Focused Healthcare: Lessons to Learn from the Connected Home

Reenita Das Partner, Senior Vice President Transformational Health Frost & Sullivan

Session Abstract:In healthcare, the ‘anytime, anywhere care’ trend is driving several technology and care delivery innovations. One of the results is care delivery moving away from traditional settings towards the home, where patients spend most of their time. The hope with these trends is to catch diseases early on, and enable populations to live longer, healthier lives.

In parallel, the consumer industry is seeing the emergence of smart homes or with the current maturity levels – connected homes. With telemedicine and remote patient monitoring concepts, healthcare as an industry is already leveraging technology for chronic disease management and post-acute care. This advancement provides the potential for healthcare to leverage the connected home concept to move beyond ‘sick care’ to actual ‘health care’, where preventive care techniques can truly be employed.

Key Take-Aways:

• Insight into how leading companies are enabling healthcare management outside traditional care delivery centers

• An update on the convergence of technologies that are being piloted to enable health monitoring, beyond the traditional defi nition of home health monitoring

• Key considerations and challenges in implementing regulated health technologies in a consumer environment of a connected home

CASE HISTORY

3:30pm Connected Care – Care Beyond the Hospital

Ravi Kuppuraj Chief Executive Offi cer Connected Sensing Philips

Session Abstract:The increasing cost and generally ineffectiveness of past care paradigms in dealing with the challenges of chronic diseases and their management is clearly calling for change and innovation. The entire healthcare system is under signifi cant strain to address this reality. The focus for companies, providers, payors and governments is to fi gure out how to move from diagnosis and treatment to prevent and enable healthy living. This means that care has to extend from the critical care units of the hospital to general and lower acuity areas, outside the hospital and the home. The ‘anytime, anywhere care’ trend is driving several technologies and care delivery innovations.

Key Take-Aways:

• Blueprint of care delivery models that move away from being restricted to traditional hospital settings to the patient’s home.

• Examples of how the convergence of these technologies allow us to move beyond ‘sick care’ to ‘actual Health care’

• A framework to show how and where preventative care techniques can truly be employed

• Best practices for key technologies and where more innovation is needed

AGENDA



CASE HISTORY

3:45pm Digital Technologies to Help Seniors Thrive at Home

Alex (Jun) Gao Head of Digital Health Lab Samsung Research America

Session Abstract:As healthcare moves beyond the four walls of hospitals and clinics, the home becomes the primary destination site for where care will be delivered. Digital health technologies have the potential to transform the home environment to a virtual hospital. Clinical monitoring may be performed at home using advanced sensors and connected devices. Moreover, the home enhanced with digital tools can help individuals with disabilities due to advanced age, disease, and/or injury lead a more independent life.

TT12. The Transformation of the Healthcare Industry

2018 Mid-Term Elections - Impact on U.S. Healthcare Policy Joe Smith Chief Executive Offi cer Refl exion Health

Session Abstract:The upcoming midterm elections in the fi rst week of November will determine the outcome of elections for 435 members of the US House of Representatives, nearly a third of Senate seats, and two-thirds of governors races. Voters are routinely placing healthcare (more specifi cally, the COST of healthcare) as their #1 issue, forcing candidates to be clear on their healthcare agendas. The midterms will also put a wide range of specifi c health policy proposals to voters. Florida, Maine, Idaho, and Utah will vote on whether to expand Medicaid. Alabama will vote to eliminate state funding or provision of abortion, Nevada will vote on a sales tax exemption on feminine hygiene products and Massachusetts will vote on an anti-discrimination veto that would roll back transgender equality legislation passed in 2016.
