The Topics on which the Contest will Focus:

1. Next Generation Clinical Interactions – The New “Patient Journey”

The medical profession and practice are facing dramatic changes. The F2F, mainly in a clinical setup – is about to be replaced. Synchronous and a-synchronous tele-medicine technologies are outdated.

• New models for patient – physician interactions.
• Involvement of primary / dominant care giver other than the patient
• Moving medicine home
• Expanding medical capabilities to institutions / organizations other than hospitals or clinics.
• Focusing on diagnostics – specifically cancer and neuro-degenerative diseases.

2. Chronic Disease Management & Care Delivery (Osteoporosis / High Risk Cardiovascular Disease – as Models)

Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of minerals / vitamins. Cardiovascular events refer to any incidents that may cause damage to the heart muscle. Any interruption of blood flow will lead to an injury, or infarction.
Like other chronic conditions, these are pain free with minor symptoms, the patient can not relate the treatment to tangible outcomes, and awareness is essential for prevention and maintenance.

• Solution for increased awareness / patient involvement. Early diagnosis, therapeutic issues, risk management.
• Models for Patient Generated Data, derived action-items and easy delivery to practitioners.
• New (sophisticated) models for increased compliance. Dealing with new dosing modes.
• New methods of conveying drug related information.
• New models and settings of care delivery, i.e. Home Care – esp. for the Elderly

3. New Engines – Gathering, Storing, Distributing and Presenting Clinical Data

The new trends of patient’s empowerment come with a multitude of signals produced directly by individuals beside the medical community. These signals present both a chance and a threat to the traditional medical practitioners beyond the issue of Integration with existing EMR.  New tools and approaches are required to promptly handle the overwhelming amount of signals, data and resources.

• Solutions for secured data accumulation, sharing and distribution on various clouds.
• New methodologies for clinical data presentation, dashboards, intuitive navigation.
• Broad spectrum decision support and analytics,  encompassing “all around, 360 deg.” approach
• Transforming signals to sense – Transforming multitude sources and signals to coherent information and knowledge
