Session information


Session 1: Harvesting Value from Health Data

This session will explore how value might be harvested from the rapid proliferation of health data captured from online communities and genome sequencing for patients with chronic and rare disease conditions. This data along with the potential for sophisticated analytical capabilities afforded by technologies such as AI can significantly improve the health of people. At the same time for value to be leveraged from these disruptive innovations important considerations of informed consent, privacy and security as well as accessibility and affordability need to be carefully navigated. Each of our speakers will address different technological, strategic, organizational and regulatory themes which may include the following questions:

1) How are genomics health infrastructures being used to proactively support chronic care and patients with rare diseases?

2) How can online communities more effectively support patients and other health ecosystem partners?

3) How can value be created and captured through both users and providers of health data?

4) What are the main categories of data value and how can those be effectively governed without adversely affecting the interaction between health ecosystem participants?

5) What are the main privacy, security and regulatory challenges around healthcare data which influence the potential for value creation and value capture?

Session 2: Digital Platforms and New Ways of Caring

In this session, we will examine the changing face of service delivery in healthcare. Medical innovations, increasingly rely on digital platforms to enable knowledge sharing and coordination of patient-centric care. This may entail new ways of working and forms of service delivery in both hospital and the community. Digital technologies are being adopted and used to innovate current care models for patients with chronic conditions away from fragmented siloes to new cloud based models.

Each of our speakers will address key issues which may include the following:

1) How can digital technologies and platforms be leveraged in the service delivery of care for patients with chronic conditions?

2) How can health data drawn from different platforms be used in developing mobile health apps to predict and help prevent medical care problems faced by patients with chronic conditions?

3) How are social networks and digital platforms facilitating just-in-time and timely care for the vulnerable in our communities (e.g. patients with mental health conditions)?

4) What new policies and strategies are needed to incentivise data sharing and the organising of care for new care models to be effective?


Session 3: The Future of Innovation in Healthcare 2020

In this facilitated breakout session participants will contribute their vision of how digital innovations will contribute to the future of Healthcare by 2020. We will focus on both the emerging digital innovations, policy implications, health data and patient contributions but also the new forms of governance and changes in the health ecosystem which will afford (or not) how value based care might be leveraged over the coming years. Facilitators will synthesise key points from their group and present back in the closing plenary.
