Tracking Healthcare Innovation via ‘CMS Innovates’

Posted on July 11, 2013 by in ACOs, digital health, Innovation

At the health innovation broadcast consortium (HIBC.tv) aka HealthInnovation.tv we track, report and feature the spectrum of innovation initiative from ‘app to platform to business and/or service delivery model(s)’, including CMS spawned public/private sector collaborative strains. To date, much of the innovation metabolism and thus eyeball capture can be associated with if not attributed to the predominantly ‘twenty-something’ niche market driven health, wellness and fitness type apps. For example, there has been much consideration extended to ‘mhealth’ bio-metric tracking apps like FitBit, MyBasis, RunKeeper, as well as consumer empowerment ‘pricing transparency’ plays via CastLight Health, Clear Health Costs, Change Healthcare, SimpleeHealth and Cake Health, yet other than the less well known […]

Posted on July 8, 2013 by in Ben Chodor, digital health, healthcare apps

  At Health Innovation TV we love working with Health 2.0 co-founder Matt Holt aka @boltyboy (and we’re still waiting on the ‘inside story’ on the genesis of the twitter handle). For example at HiMSS 13 we featured the ‘health 2.0 hour‘ with Matt Holt live from the exhibition hall, and a second sitting via our virtual studio setup outside the media center. Editor’s note: for a sample vibe check out the ‘role reversal’ interview with Happtique co-founder Ben Chodor aka @s57benchodor live from NOLA. At this year’s ‘health datapalooza‘ IV gathering from the Omni Shoreham in Washington DC, we provided another opportunity for Matt to tag innovators and entrepreneurs of […]

Health Datapalooza IV: A Moment with Bryan Sivak

Posted on June 10, 2013 by in digital health, Health IT, Innovation, Patient Empowerment

Dr. Pat Salber @docweighsin and CEO of @HealthTechHatch spoke with Bryan Sivak, CTO and ‘entrepreneur-in-residence’ at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on day 2 of the Health Datapalooza IV in Washington, DC. Bryan had some very big shoes to fill given his predecessor’s presence, style and robust representation of the ‘data liberacion’ or liquidity movement. Since assuming the CTO position in July 2012 Bryan has been somewhat less visible perhaps even ‘quieter’ on the conference circuit (at least in the opinion of this one conference junkie). So when he stepped into the limelight as co-chair of Health Datapalooza IV right from the beginning his presence and command of the […]

Health Innovation: HealthCamp Meets the Convergence Summit?

Posted on May 27, 2013 by in digital health, News, wireless health

In a sea of Johnny come lately and often ‘me too’ conferences claiming authoritative standing in the digital health and biotech sector conversations, a voice with earned ‘street cred’ as one of if not the ‘grandaddy of them all’ is the ‘Convergence Summit’ produced by the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance (WLSA). For the 2013 Summit, Rob McCray et al, have pushed the envelope for the annual San Diego gathering via a power packed faculty choreographed into a timely series of high impact (if not organically unfolding) presentations. This year I understand amidst a parsed mix of innovation updates, an ‘un-conference’ like breakout session facilitated by a talented group process leader will […]
