Healthcare is transforming before our eyes. The world’s increased urbanization, proliferation of smart devices and high-tech capabilities are shifting our approach to health. With an array of health apps, cloud-based data and interoperability challenges– determining how we turn this “Wild West” of healthcare innovation into meaningful change is unclear.

Connectivity is the NextGen solution. Putting cloud-based data to work for real people can ignite meaningful change in delivering innovative, connected solutions to both patients and clinicians – supporting healthy living, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

From a crockpot that helps patients manage the nutritional value of a meal, to a motion-sensing lamp that blinks red when someone needs to take their red pills and green for their green pills – the next generation of healthcare will be one where patients and caregivers stay connected to each other not just in the hospital, but in every dimension of their lives.
