eHealth Consumers in the Age of Hyper-Personalizationchronaki
Where the Internet of Things meets healthcare we see a plethora of tools, gadgets, and apps that promise to improve life, health, and independence. As patients, family members ofr friends, we are subsumed under the term "eHealth consumers”. For us it is increasingly hard to navigate in the unfolding digital reality dominated by new gadgets, and fragmented information, data, and knowledge we don’t control. More personalized and targeted products, services, and content could alleviate this. In this slide deck we are specifically focusing on challenges and opportunities for personalization in view of varying eHealth literacy, lifestyle and health goals.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest buzzword out of the interface between information technology and business. As technologies like Bluetooth and sensors enable connections between devices and networks, innovation has brought connections between devices and a human interface. In healthcare, this has been termed the Internet of Medical Things or Healthy things. Medical devices and consumer health devices generate data which can be analyzed, synthesized and displayed for the consumer and healthcare provider to get a broader picture of one’s health. Everything from fitness devices to glucose monitors can give us information about our current health status as never before. How this will integrate into a clinician’s workflow is a new journey of discovery as medical practice catches up with these innovations.
This document discusses building public trust for data use in new technologies. It covers the philosophy and ethics around data use, including the four pillars of ethics: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. It discusses how tragedy can change public opinion and the values of society. It also discusses the role of Caldicott Guardians in bringing ethical considerations to decisions around data use and ensuring compliance with the Caldicott Principles of data protection.
U.S. consumers are accustomed to purchasing almost anything online; and they expect choice, information and convenience when doing so. With the wide-scale adoption of a consumer-centric retail model across all industries, health insurers are being advised to get on the retail bandwagon. This slideshare and accompanying white paper discusses why the best path forward for health insurers is to deploy an e-commerce platform specifically designed to support all channels and all lines of business. Such a platform will ensure both front-end and back-end capabilities are addressed in a manner that is optimized for healthcare, and it should include search and decision support, personalization and upsell options for the consumer, as well systems integration, billing and payments, and extensive analytics and reporting for the insurer.

The future of India's healthcare depends on continued innovation to address the needs of its vast population in both urban and underserved rural areas.
This document discusses demand for health care and factors that influence demand. It covers the distinction between need and want, Grossman's model of demand for health, and factors like income, prices of substitutes and complements, insurance, and elasticity. The key points are that demand is derived from demand for health, it is influenced by many individual and environmental factors, and having insurance decreases price sensitivity by consumers.
The document provides an overview of India's health care delivery system. It discusses three main levels: central, state, and district/local levels. At the central level, the key organizations are the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Directorate General of Health Services, which are responsible for policymaking, planning, and coordination. At the state level, each state has its own independent health care system. At the district/local level, primary health care is delivered through a three-tiered rural system of sub-centers, primary health centers (PHC), and community health centers (CHC) based on population thresholds. The PHCs act as the first point of contact between communities and medical officers.
The slide is all about Healthcare Marketing. How you can develop marketing strategies in healthcare market.

States have independent health systems while the central government focuses on policy, planning, and coordination. At the state level in Gujarat, the key organizations are the state health ministry and departments. Districts then provide local public health administration through offices like district health offices. The document concludes with statistics about the city of Surat's municipal corporation and population.
The document discusses the Indian healthcare system and its key challenges. It notes that the system faces substantial challenges in providing quality healthcare due to factors such as a fast growing population, changing disease profiles, a multilayered healthcare landscape, lack of infrastructure, shortage of manpower, low public expenditure on health, and inaccessibility of services - especially in rural areas. It also examines the disease burden in India and initiatives by the government to improve the system. However, it concludes that India still lags in key healthcare indicators and there is need for improved healthcare planning, resources, and financing to address the country's growing healthcare challenges.
This document discusses consumer perspectives and concerns regarding personal health information and health IT. It notes that consumers want health information that supports informed decisions, and they have concerns about privacy, security, and how information may be used and shared without their consent. The document also outlines recommendations from a consumer forum to ensure community understanding and support for appropriate electronic health information use.
The National Consumers League supports policies that ensure access to safe, effective, and affordable prescription drugs for all Americans while supporting continued innovation. They advocate for robust FDA funding to review new drugs and ensure generics approval. The League also supports vigilant post-market drug surveillance, enforcement of pharmaceutical oversight, and transparency in drug advertising. The needs of patients should be central to the pharmaceutical system.
The document discusses the evolution of information systems to better support healthcare in New Zealand. It outlines several key areas such as meeting the needs of patients, providers, and the population's health as a whole. It also addresses the importance of innovation, privacy, infrastructure investment, and balancing the perspectives of individuals, providers, and policymakers. The response is to bring a more complete health picture for individuals into consultations to enable informed treatment decisions.
The healthcare delivery model is being transformed and each stakeholder has an integral part to play in its much needed success. Healthcare delivery organizations, payers, and employers have typically shouldered much of this responsibility, and now patients are being added to the mix as their consumer influence and purchasing power grows. Porter Research President Cynthia Porter will explore this evolution and the industry trends that have turned previously backseat patients into some of healthcare's most powerful drivers.

1) The document discusses various ways consumers use computers for health information including seeking health information online, communicating through email/online support groups, maintaining personal health records, using decision support applications, and technological support for disease management.
2) It also discusses some challenges consumers face including variable quality of online health information, security issues, and barriers to access based on age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education, and disabilities.
3) Nurse informaticians are well-suited to help with consumer health computing due to their expertise in patient education, cultural diversity, advocacy, and research. Special considerations in designing applications for consumers include terminology, literacy, computer literacy, accessibility, and user-centered design.
Dr. Ostrovsky describes the promise and concerns surrounding the precision medicine initiative and the importance of taking into account all determinants of health.
Three key trends are forcing a change in today's health models: 1) Rising chronic diseases among both young and old are driving up health costs and creating future liabilities. 2) Technology is enabling mass customization of healthcare similar to other industries. 3) Broader factors like behavior, socioeconomics, and genetics are recognized as influencing health beyond medical care. To address these issues, health will be customized around six vectors: incentives, regulations, funding, patient communication, information technology, and workforce models to personalize diagnosis, care and cure for individuals.
Robust patient privacy and security protection are essential to build and maintain a necessary level of trust among patients, providers, health plans and other stakeholders.
The document discusses improving health in communities by aligning incentives to make health profitable. It notes the US healthcare system is strained by chronic conditions exacerbated by an aging population. Experts discuss changing models and behaviors, and how to ensure healthcare reform improves overall community health rather than just preserving existing imbalances. Key ideas discussed include making health states profitable through business models, improving data sharing and transparency, and driving behavioral changes through community efforts.
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.

Kathy Nickerson is a student in health information management who is passionate about e-health initiatives. She discusses barriers to implementing electronic health records, including financial, technical, and psychological barriers for physicians, as well as issues related to the paternalistic nature of medicine, data ownership, third-party payment systems, and technology challenges for patients. Her plan is to complete her credential and gain industry experience to help break down barriers to e-health implementation and electronic health information management.
The document outlines a draft health information policy framework in Ireland. It discusses the need for a new policy to provide clarity on processing health information under new GDPR regulations. The framework proposes core principles like accountability, consent and data security. It suggests strengthening legislation to establish a clear legal basis for information sharing. The framework also proposes improved governance structures and operational standards to promote consistent and secure data use across the health system. A public consultation was opened to gather feedback on the draft policy.

Shaping the Future for Health
CROSSING THE QUALITY CHASM:
A NEW HEALTH SYSTEM FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
The U.S. health care delivery system does not provide consistent, high-quality medical care to all people. Americans should be able to count on receiving care that meets their needs and is based on the best scien
tific knowledge--yet there is strong evidence that this frequently is not the
case. Health care harms patients too frequently and routinely fails to deliver
its potential benefits. Indeed, between the health care that we now have and
the health care that we could have lies not just a gap, but a chasm.
A number of factors have combined to create this chasm. Medical sci
ence and technology have advanced at an unprecedented rate during the past
half-century. In tandem has come growing complexity of health care, which
today is characterized by more to know, more to do, more to manage, more to
watch, and more people involved than ever before. Faced with such rapid
changes, the nation’s health care delivery system has fallen far short in its
ability to translate knowledge into practice and to apply new technology
safely and appropriately. And if the system cannot consistently deliver to-
day’s science and technology, it is even less prepared to respond to the ex
traordinary advances that surely will emerge during the coming decades.
The public’s health care needs have changed as well. Americans are
living longer, due at least in part to advances in medical science and techno l
ogy, and with this aging population comes an increase in the incidence and
prevalence of chronic conditions. Such conditions, including heart disease,
diabetes, and asthma, are now the leading cause of illness, disability, and
death. But today’s health system remains overly devoted to dealing with
acute, episodic care needs. There is a dearth of clinical programs with the
multidisciplinary infrastructure required to provide the full complement of
services needed by people with common chronic conditions.
The health care delivery system also is poorly organized to meet the
challenges at hand. The delivery of care often is overly complex and uncoor
dinated, requiring steps and patient “handoffs” that slow down care and de-
crease rather than improve safety. These cumbersome processes waste re-
sources; leave unaccountable voids in coverage; lead to loss of information;

How Effective Use of Big Data Could Change the HealthcareSunny Marks
Big data has the potential to significantly improve healthcare by allowing analysis of large amounts of patient data from diverse sources. This can help predict disease onset, reduce medical costs, and improve treatment outcomes. By tracking purchasing patterns, big data already enables prediction of conditions like pregnancy. Widespread use of big data tools in healthcare could facilitate personalized, evidence-based care that improves lifestyle choices, medication accuracy, and lowers costs through reduced errors and waste.
The Role Of Data and Emergent Technologies In Managing Health IFAH
This document discusses 5 trends in the healthcare industry driven by increased data availability and data-sharing: 1) Increased sharing of data across the healthcare ecosystem, 2) Nanomedicine, sensors, and AI driving innovation through increased data capture, 3) Emergence of a "digital backbone" across the industry but uncertainty around who will own it, 4) Growing empowerment and influence of patients over other stakeholders, 5) Specialized business models positioning companies to outperform through focus on data capabilities aligned to business models.

A joint presentation on Real People, Real Data at the 2016 International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare in Gothenburg, Sweden. Presented by Leanne Wells of the Consumers Health Forum of Australia; Sam Vaillancourt of St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, Canada, and; Dr Paresh Dawda of the Australian National University.
This document discusses improving the patient experience in primary health care. It outlines issues with the current system such as fragmented care, access problems, and feelings of disempowerment among patients. Data shows many patients experience long wait times, lack of communication between providers, and doctors not spending enough time with them. The document calls for a more coordinated, comprehensive, and consumer-centered primary health care system to address these issues.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

1. WHO OWNS YOUR BIG DATA?
Who owns consumers’ health data?
Health Care and Social Media
Summit 2015

2. Who owns consumers’ health data?
Big data : what are we talking about?
- ‘Big data’ = large, complex datasets and the associated
advances in technology and analytics
- Covers many different types of data:
- Routinely collected clinical data
- eHealth records
- Claims data
- Genomics data
- Aggregated population health data
- Clinical trial results
- Data from automated sensors and smart devices
- Data from social media
2
3. Who owns consumers’ health data?
Key issues
- Consumers demand and expect coordination of health
services, which may involve broad sharing of health
information
- Consumers are keenly aware of privacy risks and want
the ability to control of their data
- Both the health sector and government want to move into
an improved technology landscape, but often lack
resources
- Clinicians and government have a need and desire for
evidenced-based practices to improve health outcomes, but
data are often fragmented and incomplete
- Researchers seeking to better understand health issues
and interventions are often blocked by arcane privacy laws
3
4. Who owns consumers’ health data?
Key questions
- What are the obligations to keep consumers informed of
the use of their health information?
- What rights do consumers have to control when and how
their health information is used?
- Who ultimately has responsibility as “data custodians” in
an environment where information can be widely shared?
- What rights do third-parties have to access consumers’
health information, and how engaged should consumers be
in that process?
- Are there benefits to using consumers’ health information in
non-clinical settings, and how are the risks managed?
- What is the place for patient-reported outcome data?
4
5. Who owns consumers’ health data?
The consumer demand – better care
- Consumers expect their health care providers to have the
ability to work together on providing best-possible
outcomes
- Models of care are being designed and implemented to
meet this demand, considering whole-of-person health
- Consumers are wary of having any of their health
providers out of the loop on the state of their care
- Consumers are comfortable with having large volumes of
data at their fingertips (eg, financial, social, academic,
etc.), and are coming to expect that in their health care as
well
5
6. Who owns consumers’ health data?
The consumer demand – robust privacy
- Consumers own their information
- A person’s health data is the most personal information that
can be shared, and it ought to be robustly protected
- Consumers expect that when they give consent to share
their health information, they are being informed of all
possible risks to make a good decision
- Consumers who have complex conditions and care
requirements will need their information accessed by
multiple providers, but may not always be comfortable
with over-broad sharing
- The better engaged the consumer is by and with their
clinical team, the more their risk perceptions may diminish
6
7. Who owns consumers’ health data?
The sector demand – better technology
- Clinicians cannot provide best-possible care without being
fully informed
- Clinicians of all professions have an interest in having up-
to-date, relevant information about their patients
- Changes in models of health care means clinicians are
often working with professionals across multiple specialties
- The rise of chronic diseases requiring complex care will
place further pressures on/from clinicians to have
ready access to a patient’s complete health record
- Clinicians (generally) respect their patients’ privacy; but as
the environment shifts to more coordinated care, the idea
of being a “data custodian” may also evolve
7
8. Who owns consumers’ health data?
The government’s demand – need for evidence
- Shaping health policy to improve health outcomes at the
population level requires government to have evidence-
based advice
- A wealth of data currently exists, but is fragmented and
untapped
- As the nation adopts a robust eHealth platform, there will
be an ever growing wealth of information about
Australians’ interactions with the health system
- Government may be in a position to take on a more active
role in preventive medicine if information can be
presented effectively
- Consumers would need to be consulted and give consent
to having their information used by government 8
9. Who owns consumers’ health data?
The researchers’ demand – solving problems
- Outside of government, researchers in medicine and
academia have a strong desire to access health information
to better understand disease treatments and population
health
- Consumers are largely supportive of research if their
information can be used to help others
- Researchers often face insurmountable hurdles
overcoming privacy legislation, even though legislation
and policies embrace role of researchers
- Data custodians must be brought into the discussion about
appropriate uses of data and role of researchers
9
10. Who owns consumers’ health data?
What’s required? 7 steps towards data maturity
- Getting governance of information right
- Making digital data the norm
- Bringing data together
- Using data to add value to organisation/policy/delivery
- Using it to support clinicians
- Using systems and data to empower consumers
- Extending data’s value and reach to clinical research
