In search of a digital health compass: My data, my decision, our powerchronaki
Knowledge is power. Despite extensive investments in digital health technology, navigating the health system online is challenging for most citizens. Also for eHealth, the “Inverse Care Law” proposed by Hart in 1971, seems to apply. Availability of good medical or social care services and tools online, varies inversely with the need of the population. The low adoption of eHealth services, and persistent disparities in health triggers a call for multidisciplinary action.
Barriers and challenges are not to be underestimated. Culture, education, skills, costs, perceptions of power and role, are essential for multidisciplinary action. This comes together in digital health literacy, which ought to become an integral part to navigate any health system. Patients living with an implanted device or coping with persistent, chronic disease such as diabetes, as well as citizens engaged in self-care, caring for an elderly relative, a neighbor, or their child with illness or deteriorating health, need a digital health compass.
The panel will engage the audience to elaborate on a vision for this personal, digital health compass and drive advancement in health informatics and digital health standards. The transformative power of health data fueled by targeted digital health literacy interventions can be leveraged by open, massive, and individualized delivery. This way, digital health literate, confident patients and citizens join health professionals, researchers and policy makers to address age-related health and wellness changes to shape the emerging precision medicine and population health initiatives.

Future of Healthcare – Leadership Challenges
Further to several additional expert workshops this year, we are delighted to share an updated global perspective on the future of healthcare. Produced in partnership with Duke Corporate Education (http://www.dukece.com), this adds new insights on the pivotal shifts taking place across the sector plus viewpoints on some of the core implications for leadership. Topics include the growing power of data; the rising impact of urbanisation on health; increasing patient centricity; the need for more flexible organisations and the move of innovation activity eastwards.
Available as both this report and as an accompanying presentation (https://www.slideshare.net/futureagenda2/future-of-healthcare-15-october-2019-182433390) this is now being used to inform and provoke further debate around the world. As ever we would like to thank all those who have given their time and insight to contribute to this project.
Abstract:
Currently, there is a convergence of three key factors in the global landscape that creates an opportunity for the research community to make fundamental contributions to improving the quality of life of every single citizen. Conversely, failure to recognize and act on this phenomenon may have disastrous effects on multiple levels. The first factor is the unprecedented focus and willingness to invest in the healthcare industry. The second factor is the fact that the prime directive of the healthcare sector, i.e. nothing interferes with the delivery of care, has ramifications on every aspect of information technology used in this domain. The final factor is the recognition that patient empowerment and buy-in will be critical for the advance of health information technology. These factors highlight the fact that there are inherent assumptions in the existing access models that render them ineffective and not applicable for long term use in the healthcare field.
This talk will highlight all these issues and challenge the research community to delve more the industry-specific constraints that require further innovation in the space; possibly necessitating a re-examination of the core assumptions in the field.

The Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services decision to include some reimbursement in 2015 for remote monitoring is hailed as a revolutionary step for mHealth. Here are some insights from the different ecosystem players.
- With more insurance plans being open to telemedicine coverage and remote patient monitoring, see how you can take advantage of these new payments and partner with the right groups
- With Medicare fining a record number of hospitals - 2,610 - for having too many patients returning within a month. See how hospitals are adapting to the charges and changes
- Explore the advantages of preventative care at a population management and enterprise level, creating healthier workforces with less strain on the medical system and lowering insurance pay outs
The technologies of telehealth are advancing quickly as part of the ‘connected care’ revolution. Patients and health providers are ever more closely linked through real-time electronic tools. From digital imaging to allow remote viewing of CT scans, through to patient diagnosis, videoconferencing and monitoring, these tools could touch all aspects of the patient-provider relationship.
Much of the promise of telehealth is predicated on its ‘access’ benefits: the improved access of the patient to medical expertise regardless of location, and improved access of health providers to their patients, for the purpose of diagnosis, consultation and monitoring. Yet access to telehealth depends not only on telehealth technology. Policy frameworks must be modernised, communications infrastructures such as broadband and mobile network coverage must be improved, and skillsets – both of clinicians and patients – need to be strengthened. This briefing paper outlines three factors shaping the telehealth access environment: government readiness (e.g. legal and regulatory clarity and harmonisation, especially across states and borders), communications infrastructure, and skills.
The presentation showcases Latest Trends in Healthcare. Featuring start-ups in online healthcare space who are using technology to deliver better healthcare and information to users.
HealthCursor Consulting Group India- Distribution and Marketing- Mobile network operators in Africa have identified the growing demand for financial services and micro insurance . Airtel Africa has partnered with MicroEnsure for Mobile Micro Insurance. The range of Airtel-branded insurance products includes life, accident, health, agriculture, and other forms of cover.
Connecting intermediaries, customers and surveyors- ICICI Lombard India's mobile initiative started simply enough, with a set of basic applications that gave customers a consolidated view of all their policies, a reminder service to renew a policy, and a way to track the status of a claim. But as they matured with the mobile platform, they re-visited the paradigm and devised new ways to provide customers with more value-added and user-friendly features. This is however restricted to Auto insurance only.
Encryption, Transactions and handling customer grievance- Public sector general insurance company United India Insurance launched a mobile-based real-time fund transfer facility for payment of premium. M-Power enables customers to renew their policies and also remit the premium for approved proposals. To use this facility, one has to get an MMID (an identification number called - mobile money identifier) from his/her bank and enable one’s mobile with the application given by the bank. However, there are only 10 banks on board with this platform. This initiative follows the launch of its Internet-based sales, customer grievance portal and information-cum-sales kiosks.
Sales, awareness and providing access- Bima, a young Swedish microinsurance company, is using mobile phones to sell as many as three billion new insurance policies to the global poor. Bima, that has begun to access this untapped market, is now one of the largest mobile insurance platforms in the world. In just three years, Bima has acquired 4 million clients in Africa and Asia and is adding 400,000 new subscribers per month. Bima has been tackling many of the obstacles—education, pricing, premium collection—that prevent poor people from obtaining such benefits. For instance, Bima products such as life, accident and health insurance cost "as little as $0.20 to $6.00 a month. Last month, Leapfrog invested $4.25 million in Bima, which will allow the company to expand even further within Africa and Asia as well as reach into new markets in Latin America.

Senior living is a burgeoning industry driven by an exploding senior population and demand from an aging demographic with increasing needs for specialized residential requirements. This demand will drive strong growth in the senior living industry over the next several decades. The baby boomers are the largest generation in U.S. history, constituting a sizable demographic wave. With 82.8 million people born between 1946 and 1964, the baby boomers represent over 30% of the U.S. population. There is an estimate of 75 million baby boomers who are on the verge of retirement. For the next twenty years, an average of 10,000 people each day will reach age 65, which has historically been the retirement phase of life (Pew Research: http://pewrsr.ch/T4o2Hs ).

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the challenges and opportunities of the senior care economy. The demographic trends in the United States show an aging nation. The last two decades have seen the country grow continuously older, resulting in a growing elderly care economy which translates in the creation of a great number of jobs, now and in the future, for senior housing and care options. Home health care workers are estimated to be the third fastest growing occupation.
At the same time, a shortage of paid caregivers has led immigrants to play an important role, both in nursing homes as in-home care, filling the gap. This paper focuses on 3 states where one-fourth of these older Americans live: California, Florida, and Texas, analyzing the trends in senior care, the options available, the costs and the contribution of the immigrants to the labor force.
By 2025, the in-home health care industry is expected to generate $225 billion in revenue and employ close to 3.5 million workers; therefore, the growth of the industry is good news for the economy. The industry provides jobs for a wide range of workers, including nurses, home health aides, as well as individual care aides. The shortage for low and middle skilled home health caregivers is a challenge which also entails an opportunity to provide such services, while promoting economic development and job creation and could be addressed, among other initiatives, by immigration pilot programs for caregivers.
INTRODUCTION
Many studies concur that “In the US, the number of people aged 85 and up will more than double to 14.4 million by the year 2040” (ACL,2020). This means that there will be more demand for senior care in the upcoming years and it is important to navigate about the economic options available for them, while at the same time analysing the impact of these options on the economy. According to several studies, the trends imply that there will be a rising need for senior housing and care options for seniors who need some level of care. However, the future is not all bright. Growing workforce shortages and the resulting increasing cost of labor are leading concerns for the industry, which relies on people to provide services and care at the bedside. The worker shortage will be one of the biggest difficulties in this industry segment.
Since the 1990s, the number of immigrants in the United States has grown dramatically. Immigrants make up a significant share of the U.S. workforce, and their impact is especially evident in the senior care economy. .
Technology is disrupting healthcare just as it has in so many other areas of life. New players and
new approaches are proliferating but while the changes may seem dazzlingly diverse there is a single, underlying driving force. Digital transformation in healthcare has many elements: health data privacy, ethical AI, IOT solutions, many brought to the market by new disruptors. These are all valuable elements of transformation, but ultimately they are steering to a single goal; empathetic care of
the empowered patient. In this increasingly patient-centric future it is the empathetic care, not the technology itself, that will prove to be the outstanding feature. The market leaders in this landscape will be those who embrace and explore its possibilities.
Living in a hyper-connected world, patients have never been so well informed or had so much decision- making power, at least when it comes to chronic diseases. Less dependent on their doctors for advice, increasingly able and willing to take greater control of their own health, they feel empowered by the vast amount of health information available online, on apps, and by the array of health and fitness wearables.
Such consumer digital empowerment is pushing rapid change in healthcare provision. Industry leaders across providers, insurers, medical technology and the pharmaceuticals industry, need to re-imagine
the traditional spectrum of sales, marketing and commercialisation processes by developing empathetic engagement tools to accompany and support the patient on their personal journey. This digital transformation imperative becomes a huge challenge because of the complexity of the industry ecosystem and the varying models in APAC.
With widely varying reimbursement and access challenges across APAC countries, coupled with diverse social and cultural norms, it is important for pharma, insurance, and healthcare providers to work together with partners who have local, real-world expertise when it comes to understanding patient behaviours. Together those partnerships can deliver solutions that will impact patient lives positively. Across APAC the opportunities are considerable with a huge growing market for medication and care, but there are also significant cultural and financial hurdles to the uptake of treatments.

Health Care Reform: Implications for Special PopulationsHelen Dao
We live in a country that is enrich with so many different cultures, traditions, races, nationalities, ethnic groups, and multiple generations of new immigrants. One of the best things that are taking place in the 21st Century is the Health Care Reform, an equal opportunity for health care access to all people living in the United States. Equality is a public health matter, as citizens we have the responsibility to foster a system where children, adults, and seniors to be treated and care for a better and healthier lives.

Nearly 80 percent of the deposits in local savings banks are owned by those over age 55.
By partnering with experienced eldercare professionals, a bank can build closer relationships with these maturing multi-generational families (aging baby boomers and seniors).
Banks who pay attention to these critical customer segments will not only preserve their customer base but will see a substantial increase in attractive new depositors resulting in improved profitability.
Healthcare as an industry is transforming. The concept of wellbeing is increasing in importance. Living environments are evolving, including smart homes, assisted living and robotics. Technologies and innovations are having major impacts to individual’s life. Individuals are taking more control and recognizing also their responsibility.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. In the coming years, the US elderly population 65+ will surpass the young population in majority. The current care
systems will not be able to sustain this increase due to 3 key problems: cost, access, and disconnect.
Aging in place is emerging as the best solution for both individuals and the government. It is more economic and
more aligned with the needs of the elderly population.
• 89% of seniors wish to remain in their homes for as long as possible
• It would allow savings of $550k over 10 years for the individual and $2-$3 billion per year for the government.
Recent advancements in technology are the enablers for aging in place. Assistive technology for aging in place is
expected to grow from $2 billion today to more than $20 billion by 2020.
Aging in place solutions should cater the needs at the crossroads of smart home and digital health:
• By 2019, the global smart home market will be $120 billion, with the US representing 17%. Almost 40% of
households in the US will be equipped with smart home devices.
• The total revenues for connected health and wellness should amount to $8 billion dollar by 2018. Quantified
self is a young market that is projected to increase by 4x fold in the next 4 years.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3. The US population age 65+ was 44.7M in 2013 and represented 14.1% of the U.S. population. It is expected to
grow to 21.7% of the population by 2040.
By 2060, there will be about 98 million elderly.
IN THE COMING YEARS, THE US ELDERLY POPULATION WILL SURPASS THE YOUNG
POPULATION IN MAJORITY

4. 1 in 4 elderly Americans live in one of three
states: California, Florida, and New York.
Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Texas —account for another one-quarter of
Americans age 65 or older
80+ senior facilities are concentrated in Florida
counties (Marion County & Palm Beach County)
Louisville, Kentucky is a very big player in long-
term care, being one of the "headquarters in
nursing home, rehabilitation, assisted living and
home health administration”.
SOME KEY LOCATIONS IN THE U.S. WHERE THE ELDERLY LIVE
5. THE CURRENT CARE SYSTEMS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THIS INCREASE DUE TO
3 KEY ISSUES 1) COST 2) ACCESS 3) DISCONNECT
COST
ACCESS
DISCONNECT
Being old is expensive
• For the government through the healthcare programs of Medicare and Medicaid
• For senior individuals and their families through out-of-pocket expenditures
The existing settings will not be able to absorb the increasing number of seniors
and there will be a lack of care givers available
Seniors are both economically and emotionally burdened when they must leave
their homes and are not allowed to maintain their preferred quality of life
6. At the federal level
The retirement of the baby boomer generation is driving costs for Medicare and Medicaid to unprecedented
levels. Medicare will drive costs from 2016-2023, with an average annual increase of 7.3 %.
For this reason, the government is pushing for action to develop in-home health products, increase patient
compliance, and improve disease prevention measures.
At the individual level
The older people get, the more healthcare they use, and the more personal costs they have from non covered
medical bills
In 2009, 94% of people aged 65+ paid for a portion of their health care out of pocket.

SUSTAINABLE

7. Americans rely a lot on family caregivers.
In 2015, around 43.5 million families provided care for an
older relative, and 14.9 million for a relative with Alzheimer’s
or dementia.
Given the future population changes, the caregiver support
ratio will decline from its 2010 level of 7 potential caregivers
for each person aged 80+ down to a ratio of 4:1 in 2030 and
3:1 in 2050
Caregiver support ratio (CSR) – "the number of potential family
caregivers aged 45-64 for each person aged 80+"
WITHIN THE NEXT 15 YEARS, THE US WILL FACE A SIGNIFICANT LACK OF CAREGIVERS

9. AGING IN THE PLACE IS THE IDEAL SOLUTION
AFFORDABLE
ACCESSIBLE
ACCEPTED
At an individual level, despite required remodeling costs, aging in place is significantly
less expensive than senior care facilities
At a federal level, aging in place allows savings for both Medicaid and Medicare
enabling savings of $45K annually per participant, or $2-$3 Billion total annually.
Most elderly people can remain in the house they’ve always lived in
Seniors need a stable lifestyle.

10. Aging in place is a growing movement that focuses on keeping seniors in their homes longer as they age. One
core element of aging in place is allowing a person to maintain their quality of life. Evidence suggests that
programs that support aging in place may yield cost savings for families, government, and health systems.
Aging in place has also been shown to have health and emotional benefits over institutional care.
Assistive domotics or internet of caring things are home automation technologies that focus on making it
possible for older adults and people with disabilities to remain at home, safe, and comfortable. This field uses
much of the same technologies as home automation for security, entertainment, and energy conservation.
“Assistive technology for aging in place is expected to grow from $2 billion today to more than $20 billion
by 2020.”

12. State policymakers and agencies have taken various steps to enable aging in place, including integrating land
use, housing and transportation; efficiently delivering services; providing more transportation choices; and
improving coordination and communication among levels of government.
Certain land use policies can help older adults live closer to or within walking distance of the services they
need
• Integrating Land Use and Transportation Policy
• Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
Increased mobility options can reduce reliance on transportation by personal car
• Volunteer Driver Laws
• Human Service Transportation Coordination
Affordable, accessible housing can decrease institutionalization and meet consumer demand
• Building Standards that Promote Accessibility
• Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC)
