About the Event

From our wearable devices telling us how many REM cycles we miss to the emergency room where sensors can track our vital signs, the harnessing and control of our personal health data is driving significant disruption in the health care industry. HealthBeat 2014 will examine the many steps in the data-driven patient journey. We’ll start with the data generated from consumer health wearables, look at how that information makes its way across the health system firewall and into clinical systems, and discover how new types of data are being pulled into the electronic health record to heal patients and keep them healthy after they go home again. We’ll look at the technology and best practices required to keep all this data secure, private, and compliant. Never before have we as individuals and professionals had so much access to PHI (Protected Health Information). Who owns it? Where does it go? Who sees it? How secure is it? Join VentureBeat in welcoming the best and most forward-thinking health care providers, scientists, and technologists to discuss the new digital health technologies that are most likely to radically reinvent and improve the health care delivery system of the future.
