Murali and Peter (along with Medecision and Amida) are right in the middle of intersection of data, interoperability, hardware, software and services for IoT in healthcare; they were kind enough to share with me what they’re seeing as the major opportunities in the space. In the case of health care they cost lives and money.

For many, the delay of Stage 3 of the Meaningful Use program evoked a collective sigh of relief, providing a much-needed extra year to focus on the challenging requirements for patient engagement and interoperability.

A single breach can compromise the health records of thousands, if not millions, of patients, leading to potential misuse of personal data and a loss of trust in digital healthcare solutions. What’s further, an incremental approach to technological advancement will allow leaders to stay on task and build out their strategy carefully.

Those are all things that are measurable and that health IT could take an active role in bringing forth.
