Special Speaker Series: How I Engage ConsumersSpeakers: Marty Moe: From Low-Cost Commodity to High Quality at Scale - Digital Media Case Study Does this sound like another industry you know? Leading digital media brands are moving their industry into a new phase: from one where low-cost, low-quality content conspired with low-value advertising to create a "race to the bottom" for consumers and advertisers alike, to a new "race to the top," led by great content and brand advertising experiences. Learn how one company, Vox Media, is combining top journalistic talent, technology, and high-value brand advertising to forge a new era of scaled high quality in digital media. Andy Shallal: What’s Your Tribal Statement? How does a coffee shop become a community hub? At Busboys and Poets in Washington, D.C., it begins with a “Tribal Statement.” Before learning about logistics and food, new employees embrace the company’s vision for its customers. Learn why this step – vision before logistics – has helped this dynamic set of coffee shops and bookstores improve how employees handle and perceive their guests, and create a community where art, culture and politics come together and unintentionally collide. Ken Allard: Digital Healthcare: What's Coming and How Organizations Can Make the Shift Brands are increasingly finding new ways to engage with users. Mobile technologies, big data, and game mechanics are creating experiences that encourage individuals to quantify everything from their sleep patterns, to calorie consumption, to number of steps they've walked. The healthcare industry isn't immune to these trends. More and more, users are offered a wider array of choices and better tools to measure their own behavior and health. While the increase in data offers targeted and contextual marketing opportunities, brands also need to tread carefully lest they violate user trust. Get an overview of the trends affecting some of the largest brands today, and how some of the lessons learned can be applied to the healthcare industry. |

Special Speaker Series: Design Discussions (Why Did You Do That?)Speakers: Sponsored by AARP Healthcare leaders and entrepreneurs will take us behind the scenes of their apps, buildings and other projects to explain how they designed with patient engagement in mind. These discussions will celebrate the approaches and designs, but also deliver inside insights about the approaches and philosophies of leaders in healthcare who are already pushing a patient-driven design agenda. Seth Bokser: Designing Inpatient Engagement Systems In stark contrast to the antiseptic institutions of the past, hospitals for the future need to be designed to support patient and family empowerment, personalized medicine, and a broad definition of health. Get a virtual tour of UCSF Mission Bay - a state-of-art medical center built in the heart of the booming San Francisco tech corridor - and learn how UCSF is designing a technology-rich inpatient experience to enhance interaction and healing. Travis McElfresh: Consumer Engagement First Companies must develop capabilities that will intimately understand and engage with users in a highly personal, authentic, and useful manner. This session will explore how one platform is leveraging social, gaming and cognitive technologies to drive engagement, reduce healthcare costs, and reward consumers for taking action to optimize their health. Aaron Sklar: Design As a Competitive Advantage: Enabling the Promise of Technology in Health Care The health care technology revolution is in full swing, promising breakthroughs in patient outcomes. But in many cases technology has fallen short of its promises in terms of both use and usefulness by providers and patients alike. The answer? Human centered design. Designers are proving that human centered design can be a competitive advantage to providers and their technology vendors. Thoughtful design can help shape products and the user experience to create technologies that patients and providers understand how to use efficiently and effectively. |
