Health Care Professionals Dream Up New Technology To Provide 'Health Care Anywhere'

An iHealthBeat Special Audio Report takes us to Kaiser Permanente's Innovative Learning Network conference where health care professionals discussed the future of health care and proposed new technical solutions that would allow patients to receive care wherever they are.

They came up with ideas like smart bathrooms, walk-through health portals and various forms of remote monitoring.

  • Jennifer Ruzek, director of Kaiser's Garfield Innovation Center;
  • Penny Carlton from the Center for the Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology; and
