As part of our effort to "learn out loud" and better understand how health policy and regulations are (finally!) beginning to show signs of accepting the 21st century's realities, we have invited "health care curmudgeon" Matthew Holt to Hedgeye TV to talk about the new technologies that have emerged in the past decade or so based on "SMAC." These underlying technologies are Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud. According to Matthew, the term SMAC has been used predominantly outside the US, but useful for us to distinguish these now mature "new" information technologies from the enterprise-based client-server technologies that preceded them and are still prevalent especially in health care enterprises.
To this framework Matthew has added a couple of things to complete what he calls the "SMACK health puzzle." One is another S, for Sensors. The "Internet of things" includes dozens of technologies being used for health-related purposes. The other is a K for kindness, always an important ingredient for successful health outcomes.
Of course, what we all want to know is when technologies that make our lives more productive will do the same for our health care system.
It will be a fun and informative event. Please join us:
