Computational Challenges in Health The grand challenge: Patient-centered cognitive support
Other Challenges • Point of care innovations • Modeling, automation, data sharing and collaboration • Data management at very large scales • Automated full capture of provider-patient interactions
Pressing Needs • Analytics • Patient safety technologies • Remote health care monitoring (but no clear business models as yet)
HICIU’s Two Prong Approach • Bringing medical and computing researchers into proximity in clinical settings • Engaging the business community to: • transfer best practices from other industries to healthcare and • perform strategic marketing review of potential health information products and applications for rapid design-build projects
Progress on these computationally intensive goals will occur more rapidly when medical and computing researchers and entrepreneurs, with their different training and traditions, have frequent and easy access to one another
Challenges to Collaboration • Understanding discipline culture • Developing a shared lexicon and common meaning for terminology • Interpreting communication styles • Learning about target populations • Understanding healthcare workflow
Economic Development Challenges • Models for involving the business community that work • Strategic market intelligence to focus effort in productive areas • Intellectual property models that work
