Innovation, Expansion and Opportunities in Healthcare

THIS EVENT ENDED ON July 26th, 2018

What You'll Learn

1. How can executives look to alternative industries (i.e. industrial/manufacturing, e-commerce/retail, hospitality, etc) to improve the procurement of healthcare? What are the best practices to keep costs down?

2. What are the latest advancements in healthcare technology? How are this region's hospitals integrating these technologies into their facilities?

3. Will outpatient facilities overtake the demand for new hospitals in the New England region? 

4. Will Amazon and/or other e-commerce conglomerates become a source of doctor-patient pharmaceutical deliveries? How will this disrupt the clinic, pharmacy and hospital walls?

5. As the millennial generation continues to drive demand for hotel-like hospitals, how will the design of hospitals, urgent care centers, clinics and outpatient facilities transform?

Join us for a book signing with Dr. Joe Kvedar, featuring:

The Internet of Healthy Things

In Dr. Kvedar’s first book, published in late 2015, he explores The Internet of Healthy Things. By 2020, experts predict that more than 20 billion everyday objects will be able to capture, receive and share data via a vast, interconnected global network linked together by inexpensive sensors, GPS and ’the cloud.’ Just around the corner, real time biometric data will be automatically captured and used to learn more about the impact of lifestyle on chronic diseases and wellness, and ultimately change behavior to improve our health. Using real-world examples, observations and recommendations from his new book, The Internet of Healthy Things, Dr. Kvedar describes how virtually any object -- a watch, a shirt, the steering wheel of your car or the mattress you sleep on -- can be transformed into a data-collecting object that used to improve your health. Dr. Harry Leider, Chief Medical Officer at Walgreens, wrote the Foreword. 

The New Mobile Age: How Technology Will Extend the Healthspan and Optimize the Life Span

This is the subject of Dr. Kvedar’s latest book, published in October, that describes how connected health technologies will enable individuals to remain vital, engaged and independent as we age, and create a better healthcare system for everyone. But it has to be the right technology, designed for an aging population, not just what technologists and app developers think people want. Social robots, artificial intelligence, vocal biomarkers and facial decoding will analyze emotion, anticipate health problems, improve quality of life and enable better relationships with healthcare providers. It's also about using data to better understand the 'soft science' of wellbeing and address the neglected crisis of caregiving. The New Mobile Age is a business model but, more so, it's a new way of life. Dr. Charlotte Yeh, Chief Medical Officer at AARP, wrote this foreword.

Why This Matters

Healthcare continues to dominate national headlines, with major mergersacquisitions, and uncertainty around the ACA. Subsequently, there have been several opportunities within the real estate market. CBRE's U.S. Medical Office and Healthcare findings propose a variety of outlooks:

 
- The senior citizen population (65+), which is the highest per-capita healthcare spending demographic, will double by 2055
 
- Cost containment continues to drive hospital consolidation and expansion of outpatient facilities
 
- The absorption of medical office space continues to be greater than the supply, which has lead to an 8% vacancy rate (* as of Q1 2017)
 
- Healthcare has seen an increase in transaction volume, with nearly $10 billion for the year ending Q1 2017
 
As the healthcare evolves to keep up with industry demands, how can hospital systems, healthcare providers, senior living developers and real estate executives work together to succeed in delivering quality healthcare and assisted living facilities, while maintaining a valuable return on investment?
 
Find out this and more at our State of Boston Healthcare event this July. As always, there will be plenty of opportunities to network and make deals with the best players in the market.
