GLOBAL E-HEALTH FOR COLLABORATIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS:NEW MODELS FOR ELECTRONIC

HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AND NEW COLLABORATION PLATFORMS FOR GLOBAL BIOMEDICAL

RESEARCH

Yuri Quintana

hanges in global disease trends and demographics are creating unprecedented challenges to the delivery of health care and

biomedical research worldwide. New technologies have allowed us to collect large amounts of data, but making that information

useful for clinical care and global research remains a challenge. This talk will present some innovations in big-data translational

platforms for biomedical research. Opportunities for the use of mobile health apps, wearable technologies, and big data applications

will be discussed. New e-health systems will be discussed for connecting patients, families and professionals in the areas of maternal

health care, senior care, and oncology. Challenges in establishing e-health networks in developed and developing countries will be

examined.

ECARE: NEW MODELS FOR HEALTH SERVICES AND COLLABORATION AMONG PATIENTS, FAMILIES

AND PROFESSIONALS

eople-centered health care focuses on seeking an active role for the patient and also to strengthen all other members of the health

team, including families. By promoting greater opportunity for patients, it is possible to have better health outcomes, quality of

life, and optimal return on investment in the health system. To carry out this new model, we need not only new technologies but

also a change in the way the way we communicate and collaborate with patients and families. This talk will present some innovations

and electronic health systems to connect patients, families and professionals. The talk will describe an e-health system for maternal

health and pediatrics. A description will be provided by a system called InfoSAGE that provides education and communication for

coordinated care for the elderly in assisted living homes. Opportunities for the use of mobile health applications, portable diagnostic

technologies, and big data applications will be discussed. The challenges to establishing people-centered e-health systems will be

discussed.
