The impact of chronic disease on the U.S. health care system has increased
dramatically over the past century. The Centers for Disease Control estimate
that 7 out of 10 patients die due to chronic illness, and accounts for 75%
of the nation's $1.4 trillion medical costs.
-
Health insurance companies and health care providers are exploring the value
proposition behind wireless technology to help manage chronic diseases and a
number of important pilot studies have been undertaken. But many issues need
to be resolved before the industry will see commercial solutions become
commonplace. Communication and dialog between the key players - from
healthcare providers to insurance companies to policy makers to the mobile
solution providers - is crucial.
-
In response to market demand, the American Conference Institute has
developed this unique educational forum, where attendees can learn
first-hand how industry experts are using wireless technology to combat
diseases on the rise such as diabetes and asthma. ACI's executive-level
conference demonstrates the value proposition for such solutions as industry
stakeholders come together to share their first hand experiences and results
from trials and case studies.
