It’s only fitting that a healthcare innovation summit should include the viewpoint of Wil Yu, who leads nationwide healthcare innovation efforts for the United States through the Department of Health and Human Services.
As a keynote speaker at MedCity News’ CONVERGE conference on July 10th in Philadelphia, Yu will discuss how incentives in the healthcare system are shifting to reward improvements in quality, health, and value, and how key information to power these improvements is being liberated at multiple levels.
Yu leads several innovation grant programs and created the “Investing in Innovations” program, i2, which uses prizes and challenge to spur early-stage innovations and community building. He is also the Director of the Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects program, funding breakthrough developments in health IT. Key innovations supported by his office include: mobile health, predictive analytics, gaming in healthcare, and clinical/business intelligence.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
He is also a Senior Advisor at the newly formed CMS Innovation Center, assisting with initiatives supporting the exploration of new approaches to the development of innovative care delivery and payment models, including ACOs.
In addition, Yu co-founded the Federal mHealth Collaborative, advancing the development of national mHealth policies and programs. He has led several efforts at the intersection of games and gaming in healthcare and is on the HHS Innovation Council.
The healthcare industry is in the midst of a major structural transformation. It’s an era of change but also innovation: a new generation of entrepreneurs is coming from the tech sector to contribute to the medical industry, while at the same time progressive-minded leaders in hospitals, pharma, medtech and beyond are finding new problems to solve and new directions to chart for their sectors. And the investment and startup landscape is hotter than ever.
There’s a need for key leaders to join together in one place to discuss and debate the changes in today’s healthcare industry. That’s why MedCity News has created CONVERGE, a one-day summit on healthcare innovation and convergence.
A Personalized Approach to Medication Nonadherence
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.
On July 10 in Philadelphia, the entire healthcare ecosystem will gather for an empowering discussion of innovation and convergence on healthcare and the life sciences. Only at CONVERGE will you meet the elite startups, most innovative hospital leaders and top decision makers from the medical device, pharma, health IT and investor communities. In addition, CONVERGE will outline the big opportunities, provide guidance to address innovation challenges and determine where the industry is going.
Mark your calendar to join us this July in Philadelphia for MedCity CONVERGE.
