@ShahidNShah www.netspective.com 3 What’s this talk about? Miliary Health IT / MedTech Landscape • Data has potential to solve some hard healthcare problems and change how medical science is done. • The government & military are paying for the manual collection and clerk- like entry of clinical data. • Current data collection is unreliable, slow, and error prone. Key Takeaways • Medical devices are the best sources of quantifiable, analyzable, and reportable clinical data. • New devices must be designed and deployed to support inherent connectivity. • Government and military buyers have the procurement muscle to force vendors to become more connected.

Cost per patient per procedure / treatment going up but without ability to explain why Cost for same procedure / treatment plan highly variable across localities Unable to compare drug efficacy across patient populations Unable to compare health treatment effectiveness across patients Variability in fees and treatments promotes fraud Lack of visibility of entire patient record causes medical errors

@ShahidNShah www.netspective.com 7 We’ve seemingly accepted lack of cures… The Shift The clinical model is shifting away from treatment of chronic conditions and focusing more on prevention, wellness, obesity intervention, behavior and lifestyle modification. Objectives • Keep people out of the hospital ($$$) • Keep people from their docs ($$) • Keep people off drugs ($) • Keep people at home Implications Clinical operations are shifting to hospital and physician ‘centered’ services that will rely heavily on health information technologies to monitor, coordinate, and manage care. • Successful Transition in Care resulting in Reduced Hospital Readmission Rates • Proactive population management • Patient engagement and collaboration • Disease prevention through wellness and obesity management • Chronic disease management • Care coordination and collaboration • Metrics and analytics

www.netspective.com 10 @ShahidNShah Data Comprehension is hard What does it mean? How do I use it? • Must be continuously recomputed • Difficult today, easier tomorrow • Super-personalized • Prospective • Predictive Bio IT and Genomics Secondary Aggregation • Can be collected infrequently • Personalized • Prospective • Potentially predictive • Digital • Family history is easier Phenotypics Primary Data Collection • Continuously collected • Mostly Retrospective • Useful for population health • Part digital, mostly analog • Family History is hard Admin Data Collection • Business focused data • Retrospective • Built on fee for service models • Inward looking and not focused on clinical benefits Biosensors Social Interactions
