For years at Health 2.0 we've been describing the mix of applications and devices working together as "unplatforms".

We'll be explaining and reviewing these platforms with speakers from AT&T, Aetna, Qualcomm and Microsoft.

Care transitions will be increasingly important for patient care. At the same time, hospitals are undergoing a major transformation and could benefit from innovation that Health 2.0 companies bring to the care transition improvement market.

As medicine becomes more technical, we've lost some of the personal touch -- the family doctor who made housecalls and knew every member in the family, the pharmacist who took a minute to chat about what you're eating for breakfast. Even worse, most people are intimidated by the healthcare experience -- and who can blame them? It's hard to ask your doctor smart questions while wearing just a paper garment in a strange room with bad lighting.

How can we bring people back into their health story? With technology. A newer, smarter technology that helps you find people and experts and talk to them privately. A platform that taps into your own motivations, lets you set your health goals, and makes better health a rewarding game. Where you're in charge and you never have to wear a paper gown.

Catch one of our parallel breakout sessions.
