“Future Medical and Information Technologies that will Disrupt our Business”
Molly Joel Coye, MD, Founder and CEO, The Health Technology Center, San Francisco, CA. Emerging technologies will make consumers more independent of traditional providers, but will also drive consumer demand for access to complex clinical technologies that rely on IT and biomedical support. Remote patient management technologies will cause disease management and medical device companies to compete for control of chronic disease populations, driving down traditional utilization patterns and increasing pharmaceutical expenditures. Communications technologies will transform productivity and satisfaction for many components of the healthcare workforce. The Health Technology Center was created to forecast the development and impact of these technologies. Dr. Coye will present key findings from their research.
