Europe Fall 2012

A welcome video and introductory presentation on Health 2.0 innovations from around the world.

When researching and trying to make informed decisions about their health, patients are facing an overwhelming wealth of online information. It’s not just the quantity. Patients have to deal with diverse sources, opaque language, and contradictory claims--without having a medical background. In this session, we will explore new tools designed to help patients inform their decisions and make the most of online data.

You have 30 minutes to enjoy refreshments and mingle with attendees.

Physicians and health professionals increasingly use web, mobile and social technologies to share medical information, teach medical students, and collaborate on research projects or patient cases. This session showcases platforms and tools that allow health professionals to tap into a global network of knowledge and ask second opinions from specialists across the globe.

Enjoy lunch, tour exhibit tables and mingle with fellow attendees before the next session.

It is very easy for things to fall through the cracks, so to say, in a hospital or clinic when different care professionals lack proper communication channels. Tracking tasks, sharing data, consulting specialists... Health 2.0 is closing up those cracks by giving a new meaning to participatory medicine and deeply transforming hospitals’ and physicians’ practices. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, administrators are now all connected and building a workflow that is already improving clinical and financial outcomes. This session will include Health 2.0 technologies that are shaping hospital processes, making scheduling and planning easier, ensuring correct sequencing and timing, and promoting in-transit visibility.

Take a break to grab some refreshments and attend a Workshop.

This workshop provides a picture of the present and future landscape for Health 2.0 in Central and Eastern European countries (CEE). Presenting results from recent market research and projects, participants will come out with a new interest in CEE and the key data they will need to approach this vibrant market.

This session not only touches on social media communications applied to pharma, it showcases products that allow the pharma industry to collaborate with doctors, engage with patients, and make the most of data produced from various sources. Health 2.0 for Pharma explores opportunities, discusses best practices to avoid potential pitfalls, and covers hands-on approaches that show a shift in the industry to an increasing “healthy outcomes” ecosystem.

What works, and what doesn’t? What are investors looking for? What are the latest tools? How will incubators and corporate venturing transform the European market? This session is designed to answer all your questions when it comes to funding startups. A good portion of this session will be dedicated to answering questions from entrepreneurs -- and those who might want to become one -- in the audience.

This session is the o cial announcement of the 3 winners of the  rst ever JHI Connected Health Challenge

With the population aging, the burden of chronic disease is going to weigh increasingly on European health budgets. This session presents tools designed to help patients comply with their treatments and better manage their conditions. And when patients are healthier, everybody wins!

As one of the first clinical practice tools to build a simple, elegant work ow enabling patient-physician communication and patient-centered decision making, CyberDoctor is breaking new ground in improving patient awareness, adherence and outcomes. Today Akhila and Mantosh are excited to unveil their brand new CyberDoctor iPad application.

Grab coffee and a muffin, mingle with fellow attendees, participate in a workshop and don’t forget to come back to the room on time!

A very interactive workshop to help you understand what is possible for pharma in the digital world with special consideration given to the codes and regulations that apply to digital activities in Europe. You will leave with a practical answer to the question ‘How can pharma survive in the digital world?’.

What is the best way to make sure patients use the technologies designed to help manage their conditions and promote their wellness? Design them to be forgotten. Integrate them to disappear in the landscapes of their daily lives. Matteo will  rst make a short presentation on pervasive technologies and then animate a Q&A forum to answer all your questions about design and patient engagement.

Whether or not you have a chronic condition, the goal of the game is to stay as healthy as you can for as long as you can. But we all know that it requires discipline to live a healthy life. This session showcases applications using gami cation as a way to better engage patients. Let’s play!

Grab a bite! After all this talk, we’ve worked up an appetite!

Exercise, socialize, relax, sleep and eat better and stay healthy! Sounds easy? This session explores tools and apps that will enhance all your e orts toward wellness.

Last stretch. You’re tired. It’s a lot of information. We know. Have an orange juice, another cup of coffee, and come back to discuss sex... and other unmentionables!

Oddly enough there are some things we’d rather post on Facebook than talk about with people around us. Sexual health, mental health, addictions: we call these “unmentionables”. This session showcases a wide range of tools and apps designed to help with our health taboos.

Pascal and Matthew will give you some thoughts about Health 2.0 in Europe and there will probably be a surprise or two in store.
