Gordon Ballantyne, Group Executive of Telstra Retail, will discuss Telstra's new eHealth division called Telstra Health, which aims to transform healthcare in Australia through digital technologies and connections. Telstra Health has grown rapidly to over 700 staff and 15 acquisitions. It provides solutions across various healthcare areas with the goals of improving access to care and connecting doctors and patients. Gordon will share his experience leading Telstra Retail's response to digital disruption in business and society.
Technology has the power to improve access to healthcare services, especially for people with mobility problems. Mobile technology can empower patients and carers by giving them more control over their health and making them less dependent on HCPs for health information.
Technology and healthcare: difficult marriage B Spot
Despite the many advances in technology, one of the most important parts of our lives – healthcare – continues to be a cautious and slow adopter. This is not because of the shortage of relevant technologies (quite the contrary, a lot of innovation geared at this space has taken place); rather, it is due to the healthcare industry itself, which is difficult to work with due to its complicated legislation, resistance from healthcare institutions and professionals and the tight funding conditions that most public healthcare institutions are subject to. It is also the case that outside the large-scale and traditional IT environment, the healthcare industry lacks a strong collaboration model with the world of technology innovation. Investing in healthcare needs to take a long-term perspective and requires great knowledge of the inherent challenges that will be faced. The high tech industry, on the other hand, has little patience. Tech companies, including those that are excited by recent big data opportunities should be warned: it takes a battle to get your teeth into the healthcare sweet spot.
Here's a quick recap of all that inspired us HLTH this year. Creating the future of health as heard from business leaders far and wide. This particular conference gives us a moment to take a pause, immerse in the total health ecosystem and to challenge our thinking about our role in creating what's next. Congrats to Jonathan Weiner for an incredibly successful year 2 of this amazing convention.
Digital health innovation - future nhs stage, 1pm, 2 september 2015NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Connected health, also known as technology-enabled care (TEC), involves the convergence of health technology, digital media, and mobile devices. It enables patients, carers, and healthcare professionals (HCPs) to access data and information more easily and improve the quality and outcomes of both health and social care.
