2022 Speaking Engagements
Healthcare technology Dealing with distraction, September 2022, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Health Innovation Show (HIS)
Technology has made incredible progress and contributed to some amazing gains in our world. It is hard to pick one from the plethora of innovations many of which have moved us to an increasingly mobile technology-equipped world. The mobile phone, internet, WiFi, and Bluetooth have all enabled generations to move away from the shackles of offices, desks, and hospitals and are foundational to many of the innovations that have made our lives easier.
But this mobility and easily accessible information has come at a cost to our society, a very high cost. Legions of people are distracted at home, at school, and at work staring longingly into screens filled with Facebook posts, WhatsApp messages, YouTube, and TikTok videos all the while struggling to stay on one topic, conversation, or task. Our lives are filled with constant reminders to jerk back to a screen and abruptly switch to another topic.
In healthcare, we have seen the rise of technology and innovation that has brought amazing progress to the delivery of high-quality, economical care. Without many of these innovations, the Pandemic experience would have been much harder and created even more negative outcomes. Telehealth and remote capabilities were critical to the continued delivery of care and support to a population locked down and unable to access critical care.
Getting to Total Brain Health: The Role of Innovation and Technology, Sep 2022, Alexandria, VA
VA NAII Brain Summit
Healthcare has seen the rise of technology and innovation that has brought amazing progress to the delivery of high-quality, economical care. But with the rise in technology, we have seen a corresponding rise in inequality and failure in many areas of the delivery of healthcare services, none more so than Mental Health Services.
The rising inequality and inequity were further amplified when the world succumbed to the recent pandemic in 2021, which not only shone a spotlight but further amplified the large swathes of inequality and access problems. Without many of these innovations, including flexible solutions that helped mitigate and increase access to Mental Health services the Pandemic experience would have been much harder and created even more negative outcomes. But these innovations came with additional challenges and remain at risk as they may yet be relegated back to the penalty box of politics and legislative restrictions.
This presentation will explore the current and future state of mental and behavioral health services and the associated burgeoning technologies. What opportunities and pitfalls lie ahead in applying innovation to advance the available treatment options, to deliver them economically and effectively to the broadest number of people

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (Presentation and Workshop)
Surviving and Thriving in the (Fourth) Digital Data Industrial Revolution. Every company and individual must keep transforming their business and themselves to remain competitive. Agility and innovation are essential for this transformation but how do you achieve this in the rapidly changing digital landscape. Enter Artificial Intelligence – the automation and learning capabilities built into technology that is permeating every aspect of our lives. Artificial Intelligence (AI) drives our world from the Amazon ecosystem with customized pricing and shopping suggestions and Netflix recommendation engine to our new voice agent friends – Siri, Alexa, Cortana and all those clever Apps on your smartphone. AI gets better and better from the massive data sets being generated and consumed by all of us moment by moment. But AI is the engine that needs fuel, and that fuel is our data. Data that we generate in every aspect of our lives and businesses. Learn how to understand, protect and harness the data streams in healthcare by making data and AI the central tenet of your organization’s strategy.

What’s the Value of Wearables in Clinical Medicine – Fireside Chat
The digital health trends conversation continued during the fireside chat with Fitbit’s John Moore and author/futurist Dr. Nick van Terheyden. These two docs were equally excited about the increasingly important role machine learning will play in helping to make data more useful to care providers. The idea is that bots can address the simple inquiries and transfer over the more critical conversations to physicians and human coaches, allowing for more efficient and personalized care. While there’s still plenty of work ahead, this is indeed an exciting time for the emergence of technology and healthcare. (5-key Takeaways)

Predictive Modeling for Outcomes
Data is doubling every 2 years and it’s not just more but new streams of data. In healthcare, we have started to add and look at other streams of data. The next frontier is predicting patients that are sickest. But our bias can impact our search in a version of “I know the facts, now let’s confirm them”. Large data sets are demographically & medically distinct and predictions based on national averages are error-prone. Using a blend of physician curated analysis augmented with AI this presentation focuses on finding those the invisible patients who sit in the twilight zone of attention, needing our focus but invisible to the system silently descending into poorer health.

SXSW: Panel: Heal Thyself! How Tech Improves Health & Self-Care
March 2017
Health is active and matter-of-fact, not passive and magical. Technology can enhance health by narrowing gaps in care and tailoring care to people’s lives. Those with limited resources may need access. Those with more resources might benefit from less care. Communication technology can transform healthcare, as it has countless other industries, by helping physicians and other providers transfer their expertise directly to those who need care. Benign, preference-sensitive conditions such as tennis elbow might even be entirely self-managed in the near future. This panel will explore the opportunities and potential barriers to improved health via technology-based self-care.

Data-Driven Preventative Care: Connecting the Data to Patients
The best analytics in the world is useless if the results do not quickly and easily pass into the hands of the people who can act. One of the biggest barriers to effective population health improvement is friction in the flow of information between health plans, hospitals/health systems, and physicians. To make data flow freely to those who need it, you must have the effective technology to integrate, manage and analyze the multitude of data streams in healthcare, and you also need leaders who prioritize data sharing over the competitive interests of conflicting health delivery systems. With free-flowing information routed to all the interested parties including the oft-forgotten but all important patient, we can successfully identify those at risk and develop appropriate interventions.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hospital: Hilton Digital Experience
Featured in the “Views from the Top” key note sessions at the annual HIMSS conference.
When healthcare entrepreneur and consultant Leonard Kish said “Patient engagement is the blockbuster drug of the century,” he summed up the power of engagement to improve health outcomes. But the inpatient hospital experience can sap a person of autonomy and control, making it more difficult to engage patients in their own care. How can we give back that sense of autonomy to hospitalized patients and inspire them to be responsible for their own care? Hilton Hotels has reimagined the guest experience, using digital tools to give guests a greater sense of autonomy, to offer more personal choices and to reduce “friction” inherent in travel. Many of these tools can be used in hospitals to increase the feeling of control and autonomy for patients and family members and reduce the stress and confusion inherent in a hospital stay. By learning lessons from the hotel industry, healthcare organizations can increase the sense of control and personalize the hospital stay in ways that result in more positive and more powerful patient engagement.

Game of Documentation: A Dance with the ICD-10 Dragon
So much has changed since ICD-9 was implemented 3½ decades ago that not only has the terminology and classification of conditions become outdated and obsolete but physician practices have also changed, as demonstrated by the fact that doctors could still smoke in rooms with patients. While many critics of ICD-10 have bemoaned the greatly increased number of codes some codes were expanded, others were actually condensed. For example, acute myocardial infarction went from 30 codes to 14 codes.

Hospital System Challenges: Insurance & Electronic Record Training
While a range of challenges face the efficiency of hospital management, the collection of patient data health does not flow among healthcare systems in a cohesive or standardized way. Entities within the healthcare system face challenges when collecting race, ethnicity, and language data from patients, enrollees, members, and respondents. Explicitly expressing the rationale for the data collection and training staff, organizational leadership, and the public to appreciate the need to use valid collection mechanisms may improve the situation. Nevertheless, some entities face health information technology (Health IT) constraints and internal resistance.
