The Future of the Connected and Informed Patient 

There is a shift happening in the delivery of care from the clinic to the point of the patient. Beyond standard telemedicine, there are a number of factors converging to accelerate this shift to the home and enable healthcare to be a daily presence in a patient’s life. 

Constant and continuous data and feedback from patients' real-world environment including remote physiologic & therapeutic monitoring, clinical grade wearables & diagnostic devices sold direct-to-consumer, Digital Therapeutics, IV Medication in-home, blood labs sold direct-to-consumer and collected at home, AI voice technology, and vocal biomarkers - using a patient’s voice as a vital sign.

​Ideal for audiences both with and without healthcare backgrounds and experience.  
​

Democratizing Healthcare

From Robin's 2022 book "How AI Can Democratize Healthcare":
​
AI is revolutionizing the Where, When, What and How people access healthcare. Trained healthcare professionals and physical clinics are a limited and expensive resource. With location removed from the equation, shifting care to the point of the patient increases access and lowers the cost of delivery. The negligible incremental cost to provide an AI based software program per person makes AI infinitely scalable and accessible.

The patient experience is changing, expectations are evolving, and the major healthcare stakeholders are recognizing healthcare can be delivered in new ways that improve patient outcomes. AI advancements across Vocal Biomarkers, Remote Patient Monitoring, Digital Therapeutics, Voice Recognition, Decision Support Tools, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Care are converging together to create Ambient Healthcare Computing: the ever-present healthcare assistant that monitors, analyzes, and provides the right interventions to the right person at the right time. This future of ambient computing promises a reimagined healthcare paradigm from sick-care to continuous-care.

The Future of Medicine

The almost $4T Healthcare industry is integrating advancing technologies, changing everything from diagnostics to the patient experience. Robin's expertise showcases how the convergence of accelerating technology will enable the healthcare consumer to be the key decision maker and ultimately the one responsible on the healthcare team.
 
Technologies covered can include sensors, point-of-care diagnostics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, drones and robotics. These technologies are intersecting healthcare at an increasing rate, all fundamentally changing healthcare and allowing the patient to be in control of their own health.

​Ideal for audiences both with and without healthcare backgrounds and experience.
