"Interoperability doesn't happen magically, just because you bought the pipes. There's a tremendous amount of work that goes into actually making sure that [the] data flows. [It’s] beneficial for the country for a whole lot of reasons: it's beneficial for individual patients, it’s beneficial for populations, and it should be beneficial for public health" ― 💬 Deven McGraw. Health data interoperability was another topic of discussion at our inaugural Health Technology Innovation Policy Conference in Washington DC last month. Rob Klootwyk, Jennifer Blumenthal, Deven McGraw, and Brendan Keeler joined Stanford Biodesign’s director for Digital Health, Oliver Aalami, for a conversation about the progress, challenges, and potential of interoperability in healthcare. 💡 They emphasized the importance of easier and more secure data sharing among health providers. 💡 The need for transparency in data usage. 💡 The benefits of patients having access to their healthcare data. 💡 The role of regulatory entities and the opportunity for TEFCA to create a more unified exchange of health data. 💡 They also highlighted the potential for interoperability to reduce waste in healthcare, enable better patient-centered care, and spur advancements in medicine and research.

🫀🩺“We were able to observe some of these babies in the NICU. It's heartbreaking.… We all felt that a better solution could make a huge difference in enabling more informed care decisions and better patient outcomes”. Pedro Ambriz Jr., Zofia Dudek, Dylan MacFarlane, Amin Sajjadian, and Khanh Tran first learned about the need to better measure and monitor the Qp/Qs ratio, or blood oxygenation, in babies with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) during their Bioengineering Senior Capstone Design class. In babies with this rare congenital heart defect, the left side of the heart is underdeveloped and multiple surgeries are required to treat the condition soon after birth. The Circadium team developed a concept for a wireless implant to measure the blood flow more accurately without the use of anesthesia or invasive catheterization.

LGBTQ+ youth are three times more likely to experience anxiety, and yet, more than 60% do not receive the help they need due to a lack of adequate and inclusive mental health support resources. Veronica Augustina Bot, Ananya Khosla, Katrina Liou, Zahra Rastegar, Sadorian Robertson, and Twan Sia believe that existing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based apps do not target the unique personal and societal issues faced by LGBTQ+ youth. To address this need, they created “My Journey”: a queer-focused CBT app designed to encourage daily engagement, and offer peer support. “Through our engaging platform, we hope to increase adherence to CBT … and, ultimately, play a role in reducing LGBTQ+ teen suicide attempts. The app can also benefit other stakeholders, including therapy providers, by reducing the burden of care via a prevention strategy for LGBTQ+ teens. It could even impact school boards by bringing awareness to the subject of queer mental health, hopefully leading to policy reforms that strengthen access to mental healthcare in schools.” Read more about their vision and development here: https://lnkd.in/e-mGWwe8
