Health2.0: User-Generated Healthcare 2009
October 6-7, 2009 | San Francisco Concourse Exhibition Center, San Francisco
We are starting to get warmed up for the next Health 2.0 conference, which will be held on October 6th and 7th in San Francisco at the Concourse Exhibition Center. With nearly a hundred speakers and plenty of new healthcare demos and technologies on display on stage and in the exhibit hall, you’ll get a sweeping overview of the ways that information technology and the web are changing healthcare. We'll be looking at the "traditional" Health 2.0 areas like vertical search, online social networks and tools for consumers. But the conference will also be focusing on how new technologies are connecting patients and clinicians, and examining the impact of Health 2.0 technologies on patients lives.
Here's an overview of the sometimes controversial, always engaging content you'll see!
The Consumer Aggregators are back - Hear the latest from WebMD, Google Health and Microsoft. Look out for interesting additions on the "Aggregators" panel.
Data Drives Decisions: discover how Health 2.0 is changing clinical research and clinical decision making. We'll have a panel with leading exponents showing how Health 2.0 observational data is being integrated with emerging clinical data sets.
"Cats vs. Dogs" - You might have read Matthew Holt's piece on different philosophies and approaches to health IT reform and health data transmission. Discover how [or if!] the consumer's role will be integrated in "meaningful use", what the underlying issues are and why all of it matter from a star studded panel of entrepreneurs and policy makers.
Clinical Groupware and the next generation of clinician-patient interaction tools. Remote care, virtual visits, online diagnostic tools - find out how lightweight, emerging technologies are transforming clinician-clinician as well as clinician-patient interactions.
