Parks Associates’ Connected Health Summit is a three-day executive conference focused on the impact of connected devices and IoT healthcare solutions on consumers at home.
Connected Health Summit anticipates increasing demand for both clinical and consumer health and wellness solutions aimed at improving the quality of life for people living and seeking support at home. The expansion of connected medical devices and telehealth services into the home, as well as the increasing movement of connected consumer devices into health and wellness, is growing new markets for independent living solutions that serve the elderly, patients with chronic conditions, rural households, and caretakers.
Connected Health Summit provides insights on new business models, IoT technologies, consumer behaviors, and deployments relevant to consumer healthcare solutions. These solutions, including smart home platforms, on-demand services, voice assistants, and wearables, empower consumers, caregivers, and providers with new insight into patient health and represent a vast market opportunity for many players both in and outside of healthcare services. The conference addresses these opportunities for all players and the challenges for the industry in meeting the growing demand for services in independent living, chronic care management, remote access to care, and wellness and fitness.
Parks Associates has been studying the Digital Health Sector since 2006, analyzing the development of this market and the implication for multiple connected home industries. The agenda for Connected Health Summit reflects this long-term expertise, covering all aspects from back-end technology solutions and regulations to consumer-facing health devices and apps.
