Medical devices are becoming more portable and ubiquitous. The Internet of Things (iOT) is expanding the health care system’s ability to monitor patients wherever they are, whenever they need it. Come learn from thought leaders who are leading innovation in the medical device, remote patient monitoring, and iOT space.

In many parts of Georgia, access to primary and urgent care are becoming harder to come by. Telemedicine provides great promise to non-urgent acute care situations but broadband access continues to be a challenge. Underserved and communities of color in rural Georgia lack the necessary access they need to high quality care. What can be done about it? How do we prioritize and where do we start? Our expert panel who have been working with rural communities for years will examine these questions and discuss what’s being done.

These innovative companies will discuss the latest technologies they are building including : app-based access to a patient’s longitudinal patient records across both health plans and providers, AI health care at home platforms, extracting real-time health data from patients using video software from patient’s phones, and RFID technologies.

COVID19 has shined a light on the urgent need we have to modernize our public health infrastructure. The last two years have significantly advanced the public health digital infrastructure. During the early days of COVID, fax machines were on overload around the country as hospitals send faxes to identify persons under investigation. By the end of COVID, hospitals had digitized the necessary information to automatically send data to HHS and CDC to rapidly deploy resources where they are needed. Patients were able to abandon their paper CDC card for a tamper-proof, QR code called a SMART HealthCard in many states across the country. Come hear more about these exciting projects as well as the CDC’s plans for data modernization using recently appropriated federal funding.

As a result of 21st Century Cures and industry consensus, an unprecedented number of health care federal data policies have been released over the last few years including: the ONC and CMS interoperability rules, TEFCA version 1, hospital and coverage price transparency, good faith estimates, electronic prior authorizations, and more. This panel will include the policy makers who wrote the federal rules and a health plan who is implementing many of them.
