NASHVILLE, Tenn. Vanderbilt will host a Biomedical Informatics Seminar on March 22, with Thomas K. Houston, MD, MPH as the featured speaker. Houston is Professor and Chief of the Division of Health Informatics and Implementation Science at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Title
Innovations in Patient Engagement with Technologies: Using Provider Referrals, Social Networks, Collective Intelligence and Gamification
Abstract
The last decade has seen a rapid proliferation of digital technology to support patient self-management and health care delivery. Examples of such digital technology include wearable activity monitors, smart phone apps, electronic and mobile health (eHealth and mHealth) interventions, and patient portals.
There is considerable hope that these technologies will help improve health and health care. An important challenge is that these technologies often only successfully engage a subset of the most motivated users (e.g., wearable activity monitor users who are already highly active and want to stay that way). Much of the population who might most benefit from the health technologies belongs to the unmotivated majority. This talk will discuss a number of experiments on new ways to engage patients with health promoting digital technologies.

About the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance
Founded in 1999, the Alliance bridges the institutions of Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Its mission is to enrich learning and advance clinical research in three primary areas -- community engagement, interprofessional education and research -- by developing and supporting mutually beneficial partnerships between Meharry Medical College, Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the communities they serve. Through community engagement, the Alliance serves a large community of stakeholders including surrounding universities and colleges, community organizations, faith-based outlets and community health centers. Its interprofessional education enhances students' interdisciplinary understanding and improves patient outcomes through integrated care. The research conducted provides access to experienced grant writers and materials supporting the grant application process and facilitates grant-writing workshops.
