Healthcare, Storage Experts Discuss Privacy, Security Issues and Availability of Timely Patient Information On Device, On Premise, On Cloud
The healthcare industry is on the verge of significant change in the way practitioners will monitor, treat and care for our increasingly connected population. It is an industry that is expected to represent more than $120B in wearables and mobile devices and storage sales over the next five years. To explore the potential, challenges and opportunities for mobile healthcare, Edward Zabrek M.D., Founder of mHealth Advisors and a practicing physician, will moderate a panel of industry experts on August 6 at the Flash Memory Summit at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
Dr. Zabrek's session will outline what the industry needs to do to address healthcare's dramatically growing needs and advance today's mobile technology so physicians can instantly have the information they need to deliver the best care possible at the lowest possible cost to patients. "Mobile devices like tablets are tremendous tools for patient care," said Dr. Zabrek, "but standard off-the-shelf devices available today don't deliver a complete solution. They don't provide all of the access complete, unfiltered information we need while protecting patient data privacy. The healthcare and technology experts on the panel will discuss the accuracy and security issues needed to keep up with the patient/professional requirements."
An international consultant on mobile solutions for healthcare, Dr. Zabrek said that with the right supportive infrastructure, the mobile device can aid physicians in monitoring a patient's progress, providing reliable, realtime information to prevent minor problems from becoming major issues, speed patient recovery and reduce the cost of patient care while improving patient care/comfort.
Dr. Zabrek noted that his panel will be addressing every technology tool area during the session – wearables, smartphones, tablets, secure encryption and high-speed/high-capacity storage. "No one is certain how the healthcare ecosystem will change," He emphasized, "but we do have to leverage all of the benefits of the new technologies – on device, on premise, on cloud – while ensuring complete personal data security and privacy."
Providing insight into medical-grade devices, solutions and opportunities during the Flash Memory Summit session will be Alejandro Castillo, Solutions Marketing Strategist, Dell; Ken Jarvis, Healthcare Industry Practice Manager, HP; Mark Blatt, M.D., MBA, Worldwide Medical Director, Intel; Chris Gough, Lead Solutions Architect for Health & Life Sciences, Intel; and Scott Glenn, Senior manager of Worldwide Partner/Business Development, SanDisk.
Dr. Zabrek noted that institutions and the panelists' firms are exploring how artificial intelligence and big data can be used to develop better treatments for diseases as well as disease/health issue prevention. "Physicians need access to a growing base of global patient information to improve healthcare worldwide for everyone, "he noted. " At the same time, we must ensure that patient privacy is not compromised."
In addition to exploring all of the issues and options in the mobile healthcare panel session, there will be three days of conference meetings featuring end users, solution developers, designers and application leaders in the consumer, mobile, 4K video content production, wearables, enterprise and other market areas.
The 9th Annual Flash Memory Summit will also feature keynote speakers from Alibaba, Samsung, Dell, Microsoft, SanDisk, IBM, Fusion-io and other industry leaders. More than 100 information-packed sessions will have presentations by leading experts and will include complete coverage of SSDs, Controllers and the very latest in advanced technologies.
The event will include plenaries on 3-D flash, forums on NVMe, architectures, enterprise SSD, enterprise storage design/applications and performance measurement. There will be more than a dozen tutorials on reliability, enterprise SSD selection, software-defined storage and enabling Big Data applications. To help attendees stay abreast of the fast-moving industry, there will also be a series of hands-on laboratories on custom hardware, NVMe compliance, cloud storage and non-volatile DIMM.
