This document summarizes 7 ideas for improving healthcare that were presented in 7 minutes. The ideas are: 1) creating a shared health information exchange using data from medical records, wearables, labs, and manual entry; 2) empowering family caregivers by addressing the large financial and health costs of caregiving; 3) increasing quality and cost-effective care through cost and quality transparency and improved access; 4) leveraging smart phones to warn about allergies and drug interactions and share data with clinicians; 5) providing targeted recommendations to patients and clinicians through mobile apps; 6) using cognitive computing like IBM Watson for personalized medicine; and 7) crowdsourcing de-identified health data globally to lower costs and improve quality and lives

Family caregivers were more likely to report fair or
poor health, and are more likely to report
depression, diabetes, hypertension, or pulmonary
disease. The estimated average additional health
cost to employers is 8% more for those with
eldercare responsibilities.

Considering getting a
cortisone shot for a
twitching finger.
What are the side
effects of a cortisone
shot? In people who have
diabetes, cortisone
injections can elevate
the blood sugar. In
patients with underlying
infections, cortisone
injections can suppress
somewhat the body's
ability to fight the
infection and possibly
worsen the infection or
may mask the infection
by suppressing the
symptoms and signs of
inflammation.
