Topol, MD, was on a cross-country flight when an attendant made an announcement asking if there was a doctor on board.

Dr. Topol, chief academic officer for Scripps Health, responded and was brought to a man who was in obvious trouble. Only a year or two ago, Dr. Topol would have had to make an educated guess and hope he could take care of the patient until the plane landed. This time, though, he pulled out his iPhone, and with an app that produces an electrocardiogram, he determined that the patient was having a heart attack. Though the story is an extreme example, it illustrates why mobile technology was such a big focus of the 2012 annual meeting of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, where Dr.

Mobile technology has become such an important part of health information technology that HIMSS launched its mHIMSS initiative just a few months before the annual conference, held in late February in Las Vegas.

My busy agenda for the next 10 days: IsMyCancerDifferent.com launch by @GEHealthcare at #SXSH 9.19.11 Plus #hcsfbay #epatcon #health2con. Portals, Portals everywhere but not a way to share (#MeaningfulUse #hcdc #healthapps #dchealth) I was reading an article in Contactless News about "HealthCare Providers seeking convergence" in Identity Management as Meaningful Use criteria come in to play in the HealthCare field.

It got me thinking about the future for Patients in a world of Patient Portals. Meaningful Use Meaningful use demands that"health care data be kept confidential, private and secure, accurate, shareable with patients as well as providers, mobile and exchangeable, and readily available. " A tall order! My fear is that we are headed for a situation where patients are tossed in to the sea of meaningful use without a care for the big picture from the patient's perspective. Why do I fear this? HealthCare providers, payers and other data handlers in the Industry are still mired in 1990's technology approaches in how they control their data, or rather; the data that they manage. Don't get me wrong - there is nothing wrong with a Patient Portal per se.

Max Levchin And Peter Thiel: Innovation In The World Today Is Between ‘Dire Straits And Dead’ Peter Thiel and Max Levchin are busy guys. Thiel, aside from being on the Board of Directors for companies like Palantir Technologies, Geni, and Asana, an early investor and former board member at Facebook, and also happens to be founder and president of hedge fund Clarium Capital as well as Managing Partner of his VC firm, Founder’s Fund. Levchin was founder and CEO of Slide (which was acquired by Google), which he recently left when Google deadpooled all but one of Slide’s products. Thiel and Levchin both famously steered PayPal (which they co-founded) through tricky waters during the crazy dotcom days, building it into the company we know today.

Now, Thiel and Levchin are back working together, but this time on a different enterprise: A book. Along with Gary Kasparov, the two have written a book, called “The Blueprint: Reviving Innovation, Rediscovering Risk, and Rescuing the Free Market”, which is expected to be published in March 2012. Patients' Week, 19th-23rd September 2011. Jawbone Announces Up, A Wristband To Track Health, Fight Obesity | Co. Design. Just an hour ago on stage at TED Global, Jawbone announced the grand project they've been quietly working on for years: A wearable band called Up, which is infused with sensors and smartphone connected, allowing you to track your eating, sleeping, and activity patterns. "The interest grew when people realized how large this market is. " "The CDC says that for the first time in history, lifestyle diseases such as diabetes are killing more people than communicable diseases," Travis Bogard, Jawbone's VP of product management, tells Co.Design.

"We're trying to solve that problem. " The Up's sensors collect data about how much you've been sleeping and how much you've been moving. That data is then fed into a smartphone app, which also takes in information about your meals. Up's announcement finally explains the $120 million in venture capital cash that Jawbone has raised in the last four months. In fact, constant wearability was one of the chief problems that Bogard's team wanted to solve. SXSH: Social Health Summit - #SXSH- Eventbrite. Invalid quantity. Please enter a quantity of 1 or more.
