Healthy Interactions CEO presents at Healthspottr 2017 and discusses how the future of healthcare will integrate with technology

November 17, 2017

Paul Lasiuk, CEO of Healthy Interactions, presented at Healthspottr 2017 on how technology has been failing to deliver the outcome and cost improvements that we all expected. Paul presented a credible and validated path forward that combines the best digital technology with in-person interactions.

Paul discusses the rapid proliferation of thousands of healthcare apps that are having little or no impact improving the lives of persons with diabetes. The only proven model to improve outcomes and reduce health system costs is reimbursable in person support coupled with digital engagement.

100 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes, 92% of these have at least one other chronic condition. 42% have smartphones and 50% of that population sees the smartphone as just a phone, and are mostly unaware of how to use the digital health apps they are expected to use. The need for personalized on boarding help with technology has been an ongoing request (74% of seniors have asked for in person help to download and education to use technology).

There are multiple challenges to pure digital model

• Disconnect between healthcare culture and consumer based digital use
• Demographics and challenges with technology
• Numerous app choices
• Challenging economics

3 major components to solution

• CDS that integrates into EHR by identifying patients
• Digital Engagement Platform contains all biometrics that captures in person program and in person on boarding is completed
• Reimbursable in-person program
