The Cobb Lecture @thecobblecture

Conclusions: We need to engage our population and we need more diversity in tech. Doctors need to get more involved to make it work. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

A: The elderly may just need exposure. They adapt to technology well, when exposed. See cellphones. Re trust, we can increase trust through engagement. We can give them options and build personal relationships. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Q: how do we create trust in a healthcare system in a population that is weary? How do we educate the elderly about the technology? #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Medicaid is a $700B+ market. There is a lot of room for tech that can increase savings. This information needs to be disseminated. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Q: How do we protect privacy with mobile health care and telemedicine? A: Use of an EHR company and firewalls, etc. Many apps need to go through FDA approval. HIPAA is considered during this process. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Technology should be used to augment the doctor-patient relationship. It cannot and should not replace it. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Q: What about Tech and med learning? A: Physicians, learners, and Tech need to collaborate to get the most robust information and to better the field. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Q: Is digital health sexy but not ready for prime time? At least one study has shown scant results. A: @NIH and @CDCgov, with industry, are researching ways to incorporate tech into health care more efficiently. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Panel includes Dr. Fitzpatrick (@askdrfitz), Ms. Iris Frye (@iris_frye), and Dr. Chazeman Jackson. Dr. Krishnan Narasimhan (@krishnanmd) is moderating. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture.

Wonderful talk by @askdrfitz. She gave us a lot to consider. Up next is the panel! #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

Instead, there seems to be a lack of engagement. Need to focus on Health education, building relationships and trusts.

Why? Common thoughts = not enough pay, risky innovation, "trickle down" technology, populace has limited access to technology. These aren't really based on truth. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture

A link between disparities and technology? Last year $8.1B was invested in mobile health tech. On demand access, precision of concierge medicine etc. has grown immensely. Not much innovation has gone to Medicaid. #digitalhealth #healthdisparities #healthpolicy #thecobblecture
