Industry Leaders will discuss new technologies and business strategies to drive the consumer side of the Healthcare industry
Parks Associates will host the second annual Connected Health Summit: Engaging Consumers, September 9-10, at the Omni Hotel in San Diego. Over 250 executives will attend, and keynote speakers will include executives from Cerner, CVS, AT&T, Kaiser Permanente, and Humana. Registration is open, and media are invited to register for a press pass.
“The journey to a consumer-centric care model has entered the deep-sea zone, where the healthcare and tech industries fully embrace the need for active consumer participation and engagement,” said Harry Wang, Director, Health & Mobile Product Research, Parks Associates. “Such an outcome requires an understanding of what consumers believe, their desires and motivations, and what drives them to change. The tech and healthcare industries, if they are to succeed in this new era in healthcare, must be able to leverage this knowledge in designing new healthcare solutions.”
“Connected Health Summit focuses on the consumer perspective of the fast-growing digital health market and the strategies to deliver the tools to consumers to help them engage in better self-care,” said Jennifer Kent, Director, Research Quality & Product Development, Parks Associates. “As the connected health market expands, it is attracting many nontraditional players, including service providers, smart home players, CE manufacturers, and app developers. We will examine the business models emerging from these new perspectives, including innovative partnerships and best practices to develop and deploy solutions that are both sustainable and effective in bringing about better care outcomes for consumers.”
Parks Associates has been studying the digital health sector since 2006, analyzing the development of this market and the implications for multiple connected home industries. The connected health market has steadily moved past the trial phase, and now industry stakeholders must work together to provide investors, regulators, and payers with evidence that connected health technologies make a difference. The agenda for Connected Health Summit reflects this growing need for continuing development and improvement, covering all aspects from back-end technology solutions and regulations to consumer-facing health devices and apps.
