Write2Health attends a healthcare trifecta

Over the past few months, I have been lucky to hear Atlanta’s top researchers and industry leaders discuss breakthroughs they’re making in bioscience, medicine, and healthcare IT. These three conferences illustrate just how vital the healthcare industry is in this city:

• Georgia Life Sciences Summit: “Innovation for Global Health”

• Healthcare IT Leadership Conference: “Technology’s Role in Revolutionizing Healthcare”

• Clinical Research in Georgia Conference: “From Cradle to Rocker, Clinical Research in Georgia That Will Change Lives”

Healthcare reform has been the centerpiece of many discussions. The best and brightest innovators in Atlanta’s healthcare IT industry are focused on the pressing issues of healthcare reform—patient engagement, institution accountability, electronic medical records, and revenue management. Georgia’s world-class research universities are making advances in medical devices.

Alzheimer’s disease is front-and-center in the research community, with a Global Brain Health Initiative under development—and Emory and the CDC deeply involved.

Smartphones are being transformed into patient monitoring devices, as apps and Fitbits monitor your progress and deliver the data straight to your medical health record. It’s an exciting time, as creative minds develop new solutions to curb healthcare expenses—and improve patient outcomes.
