Reimagining Health, Technology & Design

#sxsw #redohealth

Iap6200

Future healthcare innovation success will be defined by the experience delivered to patients, caregivers, and physicians in hospitals, homes and at retail. New technologies such as mobile apps, wearable sensors, and social networks, are converging with new expectations and needs to create new business models for healthcare experiences. But imagine a far more extreme transformation, in which advances in information technology, biology and engineering allow us to move much of health care out of hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices, and into our everyday lives. Inspired by ideas and innovations emerging from university research labs, clinical innovation centers, start-ups and large companies, how can we use design and new technologies to bridge the gaps between the research and the delivery of innovative healthcare ideas – and how are start-ups and new business models both redefined and reinvigorated by this?
