HUMANIZING HEALTHCARE AT SCALE

?Ever since I first experienced DeveloperTown while still in the heat of my early medical training, it was abundantly clear that DeveloperTown was a place where things got done and problems got solved.?

We experience the great dismay of the shortcomings of modern healthcare, yet at the same time show up with a sustaining hope that - with forces like value-based care, AI/ML, evolving care models like RPM and CCM, collaboration between social care & healthcare organizations, etc. - we will achieve the Healthcare 3.0 evolution.?

As you are considering your own organization’s contribution to this evolution, DeveloperTown would like to be there with you [with an eye towards custom software where appropriate...]?

WHY IS INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE SO HARD??

• Healthcare differs from other industries in that adoption of innovative technologies have wider-reaching implications and incentive and approval structures are complex. (“burden of proof”, regulation, personas, risk, standard of care)?
• Often, this leads to stagnation and lagging other industries?
• We can do better together - https://hbr.org/2024/02/why-the-tech-industry-wont-disrupt-health-care?*
• By partnering on innovation, health systems get to direct and benefit from technologies sooner?
• In turn, technology firms get access to the data, relationships, and delivery models necessary to test and deploy solutions in a complex and highly regulated environment?
• Let’s make healthcare tech more useable and worthwhile for everyone – together!?
