With connected health at the intersection of technology and healthcare, areas that are constantly shifting, we anticipated a great debate. Our participants were doctors, healthcare executives, wireless technology experts, and connected health startups.<\/p>\n<p>During breaks we recorded the rankings, aggregated the data and then compiled it into a slideshow to share during the next break, alongside photos of the participants (thus making them \u201cfamous\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ddstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0051-e1400703941993.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0051\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3141 lazyload\" width=\"1936\" height=\"2592\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1936px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1936\/2592;\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ddstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0051-e1400703941993.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0051\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3141\" width=\"1936\" height=\"2592\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>On the first day we polled personal health preferences and found that there was an overwhelming agreement with the statement &#8220;empower me as a person, not a patient.&#8221; Over half of the participants felt that this was the most important thing, some deciding to only rank that statement and no others. This may be in part to Dr. Eric Topol\u2019s \u201cempowered patient\u201d movement, as many people felt very strongly about that statement and told us horror stories of misplaced medical records, mixed up prescriptions, and endless accounts of being dragged through \u201cthe system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Day Two was Policy Preferences, and we had a bit more of a debate: 4 of our 5 statements ranked pretty evenly. The number one statement was &#8220;promote health and sell it to consumers.\u201d Close behind was &#8220;promote innovation to enhance public health,&#8221; which resonated with the multiple mHealth start-up companies in attendance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ddstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0075-e1400704064937.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0075\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3143 lazyload\" width=\"1936\" height=\"2592\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1936px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1936\/2592;\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ddstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0075-e1400704064937.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0075\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3143\" width=\"1936\" height=\"2592\"><\/noscript><br \/>\nIn addition to our statements, we asked people to tell us what we missed or to give us a quote that went along with their preferences.
