In this session a variety of innovations will be showcased that deal with the health sector and patients.
The innovations are being rated by the panel on elects such as patient user experience data handling, engagement and retention and others.
There are six innovations being showcased today. We have a very able panel here today that will be assessing the tools. The title of the session is called Patient Shark Tank as products are assessed from a patient perspective.
Panelists discuss some of the technologies they would like to see:
-discussion of wearability vs usability ie clothing that includes health apps
-an iPhone telling you how to take care of your health
-there is no algorithm that helps you navigate the healthcare system
-any technology that helps you curate the experience
