I have seen lots of impressive apps eg: iTriage, iBluebutton, Castlight Health and Symcat (written by a couple of medical students) etc I could go on. What is striking about all of this is the level of innovation with the data. I am left wondering how we stimulate such a community in the UK. It seems that the financial backers are critical to doing this at scale. I wonder what innovative business models would work in the UK?
Attended the first day of the Health Data Initiative Forum (Datapalooza) with 1600 delegates in the Washington Convention Centre. What an amazing building!
Todd Park is an impressive leader and has really galvanised this industry in the US. This is only the third event they have had and already it's attracting some serious financial backers in the US. Todd is quite a visionary and a nice bloke as well! (maybe that's the secret)
We presented a session - myself , Sir Bruce Keogh, Tim and Debra El-Sayed. We got a great response from the audience with a lot of good questions. They seemed impressed by what the NHS had achieved -especially in opening up data and Choices APIs.
Looking forward to the reception tonight to do some more networking
