Agenda
10:30AM – Welcome/Introduction
Betsy Nabel, MD: President, Brigham and Women’s Health Care
10:45AM – 11:40AM – Cool Things That Will Change Healthcare
One of the greatest perks of being part of the BWH iHub is that we hear about exciting new developments in healthcare every single day. In this session, we would like to introduce you to some recent healthcare pioneers talking about their cool ideas including PillPack on novel medication adherence, MC10 on wearable health, Patients Like Me on patients forming online communities to support each other/research activities & EarlySense on patient monitoring in hospitals & homes. We hope hearing from these companies will encourage you to think about how your work at BWH intersects with what they are doing & how you can collaborate with them. More importantly, we hope to inspire you to consider the unlimited possibilities for innovation in patient care within our own walls here at BWH.
11:40AM – 12:30PM – Catalyzing Change at an Academic Medical Center
Academic Medical Centers intuitively seek to improve care delivery in order to get patients better faster or use resources more efficiently—often both. Motivated by their everyday experiences, BWH’s clinicians are finding novel solutions that they want to test and refine, and, eventually, test and scale. The path from idea conception to prototype, refine, and scale is winding and is difficult to capture in a checklist. This session aims to highlight what “failing forward” means, the importance of strategic alignment, and other lessons learned from BWH clinicians who have successfully catalyzed change.
12:30PM – 1:00PM – Lunch
1:00PM – 2:00PM - Big Industry Brands Innovating in Healthcare
Both established healthcare brands & non-traditional healthcare players are seeking to make their mark in the growing & opportunity-rich environment spanning traditional medical care (drugs, devices) to consumer wellness (nutraceuticals, wearable tech). Examples include Verizon’s inroads into health information solutions, Apple’s impending foray into wearable tech & the entry of several drug companies into the pharma foods sector. There is tremendous scope for innovation as a result of this emerging landscape. What are these innovations? Who are the big industry players behind them? And how can BWH partner with them in creating/bringing such innovations to the patient?
