09.00-12.30 Expanding the Focus of Digital Technology Solutions for Healthcare 
It is widely perceived that Health has lagged behind other industries in adopting digital solutions to become more efficient. Despite the myriad digital apps, websites and approaches that claim to support health management, change seems to have been on the fringe, and digital has not yet substantially disrupted the prevailing models of healthcare delivery.

This workshop will look at perceived shortcomings and obstacles faced by clinicians looking for digital health solutions. It will look at the frustrations and obstacles to success faced by digital health innovators as well as discuss possible approaches to bridging the gaps and achieving successful, implementable digital innovations in the delivery of healthcare.Dr Stan Goldstein has managed healthcare services, advised government on medical devices and funding models, developed models of care, and been associated with the development of a series of successful digital programs, including apps. From involvement in consumer Ux (user experience) to clinical and health economic evaluation, he has guided developers and clinicians, and seen both success and failure.

This workshop will provide an overview of the factors to consider when developing digital solutions for healthcare, along with pragmatic advice on what has worked and what hasn’t. It can potentially save time and dollars for any clinician or developer thinking about the clinical and Implementation sides of building a digital solution for the health sector. Some ideas will be sought from participants, and, with permission, discussed to demonstrate the type of things that need to be considered in pursuing such solutions.
