My talk revolves around the need for patient-generated data in healthcare. I gave a smaller BIL talk over a year ago discussing how wearables can transform the future of healthcare. It was more theoretical and future-telling, but this talk will be more practical. In this talk, I would like to go deeper and tell multiple, personal, real-life stories of how data can help reduce the risk of heart attack and prevent people from going to the ER and ICU. My grandma is the centerpiece of this story. She was recently admitted to the ICU and is currently on life support. I am convinced that if doctors and her care team had access to her symptoms and weight day-to-day, she would not be in the ICU and my family would not be suffering.
