Connecting Patients, Providers and Insights Through IoT

John Gresham, Vice President of DeviceWorks and Interoperability, Cerner Corporation. Providers across the care continuum are transforming care delivery using medical device connectivity, open and interoperable platforms, and the internet of things (IoT). By facilitating the exchange of information and data across wearables, fitness apps, location-based and other technologies in an ecosystem of smart, connected systems, providers are able to deliver contextually aware patient and consumer experiences. Connected technologies can also impact the care team and the business of care through use cases including virtual monitoring for falls-risk patients, remote-patient monitoring of at-risk consumers, and device connectivity in the enterprise, leading to safer, more efficient care and an improved clinician experience. As an industry, we can enable patient-centered experiences that drive better engagement, outcomes and ROI for the health system and the person.
