How Advanced Data Storage and Mining is Transforming Health Care and Changing People's Lives

Presented by: School of Business Administration and Miller School of Medicine

	Sponsored by:

With the continuous expansion of health care data, more efficient ways to organize and usefully present information are crucial.  Panelists will discuss the future of data storage and mining as electronicmedical record (EMR) systems mature, as well as the contribution of data from monitoring devices and decision-support systems.  What are the implications for the practice of medicine, and on the availability of knowledge for providers, patients and their families?  What can one expect in an age of real time, on demand data availability?  The panel will build a picture of how medical systems will change the lives of people by harnessing the power of data and its presentation.

Telehealth, Robotics and Ubiquitous Computing:
The De-Institutionalization of Health Care

Presented by: Miller School of Medicine

	Sponsored by:

Applications of telehealth, robotics, and ubiquitous connectivity and computing promise to transform health care, extending health care expertise beyond geographic or temporal barriers, and providing the right care where and when it is needed. The traditional “point of care” from a clinic or hospital will be transformed to a “point of convenience” for the patient - the home, the school, the workplace, or in between. This session will offer perspectives on how these technology developments can de-institutionalize healthcare, from panelists who are already involved in developing and integrating such solutions into practice.

Neurologic Music Therapy: A Bridge Between Art and Science in Global Health Care

Presented by: Frost School of Music and College of Arts and Sciences
Research shows that music can access brain processes related to movement, cognition, and speech and language production, thus offering an evidence-based approach to treating disease and injury of the central nervous system. This panel will explore how Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) improves various aspects of cognitive functioning such as attention, memory, executive function and psychosocial behavior – and how it benefits patients with brain injury, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and substance-related disorders.  Panelists will also discuss efforts to establish third-party reimbursement options to increase consumer access to NMT services.

• Teresa Lesiuk, Assistant Professor of Music Therapy, Frost School of Music, University of Miami

• Michael Thaut, Professor of Music, Professor of Neuroscience, Colorado State University; Administrative Director, School of the Arts; and Director of the Center for Biomedical Research in Music
• Shannon K. de l' Etoile, Program Director and Associate Professor, Music Therapy, University of Miami (moderator)

Corporate Perspectives on the Future of Health Care

Presented by: School of Business Administration

The first part of this session will explore the implications of demographic shifts, changing consumer behavior, and new macro health care trends for over-the-counter manufacturers, who must connect with health care consumers to meet changing needs.

Emerging Technologies and Health Care: A Conversation with Gary Marchant

Presented by: School of Law
The U.S. health care system is on the verge of being transformed by a series of rapidly developing and converging emerging technologies including pharmacogenomics, nanomedicine, stem cells, synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, and "smart" medical systems.  Yet, the implementation of these potentially break-through technologies may be impeded by a series of legal, policy, and ethical challenges relating to regulatory approval, reimbursement, intellectual property, liability, ethical objections, and public anxiety.  This presentation will identify some common legal, policy and ethical challenges facing emerging medical technologies, and suggest potential approaches for addressing those concerns.
