Why: The Convergence Summit is the annual flagship event of the WLSA – where healthcare, technology and communication professionals tackle shared matters. The 2013 theme, The Engaged Health Consumer is a deliberate, focused effort aimed at developing radically new approaches that overcome the constraints of traditional thinking which come from creative cross discipline thinking, discussion and collaboration. The event aims to support networking and thought leadership, and its unique focus on where connected technologies and mobile workflows are impacting healthcare is attracting international attention ranging from CEOs and global strategy executives to financial sponsors, policy makers, and academics. We look forward to your participation in this important event.

Webinars:
June 12: Topic – The Engaged Consumer is the SMART Consumer
As consumers have more access to health information, they make better choices both in and out of the doctor’s office. From websites that help consumers find the best doctor to medical devices that provide instant feedback between doctor’s visits, connected health is dramatically changing access to health information and empowering patients.
October 9: Topic – Prepare to Disrupt: Social Networks Connect Patients Faster, Better, Cheaper?
Ready for an interactive health revolution? Social networking has the potential to bring as much disruption to the health world as it has brought to politics. Friends post about their physical activity and health conditions on Facebook while patients join online communities and seek advice from physician crowd-sourcing sites. Learn how social networks are changing consumer health engagement.
