How is the IoT Changing Healthcare? Join Us on August 27

August 26, 2014

How is the Internet of Things (IoT) changing healthcare right now? I shared some of my thoughts on this, and coming up on Wednesday August 27, 2014 at Noon Eastern, 9am Pacific I will be joining a panel of experts to discuss the topic in more detail for a MedCity News Hangout session.

Joining me on the panel are Clint Abernathy, professional services officer at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Alliance, Jutta Friedrichs of Changing-Environments and the Soofa bench, and Daniel Ruppar who researches into connected health at Frost & Sullivan.

Here are some of the questions we will be discussing:

What is the biggest barrier to implementing the Internet of Things at a hospital?
What is the biggest potential benefit to building that kind of network?
How could this kind of connectivity improve patient care?
What is the ROI or benefit to a business?
What is the ratio of hype to actual potential in the current discussions of the Internet of Things?
What are the security issues around an Internet of Things?
