Georgette recently attended the Health Care Innovations conference alongside 500 other health care industry professionals in the Pittsburgh region. The conference allowed various professionals to engage in a trade discussion inspired by the region’s medical IT expertise, including common industry goals, healthcare IT integration, and a nod to new products in eye care.

With a common goal of 2015 for paperless patient care, several presentations predicted the growth of electronic health records (EHR) practices through continued medical device development and integration. Citing an adoption rate of EHR that doubled in past two years, researchers and manufacturers alike are eager to explore the data and feedback from new users.

Disease prevention was also a major player in the day’s agenda– as healthcare IT integration for genomic features will allow earlier disease detection toward a goal of genetic disease prevention. Finally, discussions turned to a new biometric contact lens currently in development; the device will monitor and store all health measurements! PC will keep a close ‘eye’ on more news concerning these new lenses.
