  1. Consumer Digital Health:Technology Assessment and Outcomes Measurements Lynn Redington, DrPH, MBA Sr. Program Director Center for Technology and Aging techandaging.org vital: the consumer digital health event San Francisco, 6 October 2010

  2. Center for Technology and Aging • Established in 2009 with funding from The SCAN Foundation, located at the Public Health Institute • Accelerate diffusion of proven technologies (ADOPT) that help older adults remain healthy and independent • CTA initiatives • Technology Diffusion Grants Program • Independent, non-profit resource—research briefs, advocacy, tools and lessons learned (ADOPT toolkit) • Older adults: A large, growing population with high medical and social service needs

  3. Technology Assessment Factors--CTA’s Selection Criteria for Grant Program Focus Areas- • Population Applicability • Large, growing, high-need, high-burden population segments • Health Outcomes • Control existing health conditions, prevent exacerbations/adverse events • Economic Outcomes • Health service use—reduce use per patient, or increase overall efficiency • Caregiver/Workforce Relief • “Downshifting”--from high-acuity/skilled to low acuity/unskilled care • Technology Viability • Rogers DoI Theory: Relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, etc. • Stakeholder Readiness • Ready or resistant? Note: technology viability/stakeholder readiness tradeoff • Policy Relevance • “Authority-driven” adoption: QI/Cost Savings Initiatives, Subsidies

  4. Promising Technology Focus Areas--Focus of CTA’s first 3 Grant Programs-- • 1. Medication Optimization Technologies • Medication adherence • Medication reconciliation • Medication monitoring • 2. Remote Patient Monitoring Technologies • Chronic disease monitoring • Safety, falls monitoring • 3. Technologies for Post-Acute Care Transitions/Readmissions
