Raymond Lowe welcomed attendees to the IHT2 conference in Beverly Hills. He noted that threats, vulnerabilities and exposures are increasing in the healthcare industry, with major data breaches affecting millions of individuals in recent years. Telehealth strategies must provide access to care across the continuum from wellness to acute care to home care. Emerging digital technologies are changing the consumer experience of healthcare. Seven trends are driving this change, including personalized health services, consumerism, employer-directed models, expanded telehealth, cloud-based interoperability, integrated medical devices, and predictive analytics.
