The research firm is featuring its latest data at its 9^th annual Connected Health Summit on August 30 and 31. The conference is sponsored by ADT Medical Alert, Alarm.com, EarlySense, Johnson Controls, Rapid Response Monitoring, Becklar, and Independa.

The August 31 virtual session "Who's Paying for Healthcare? New Business Models" features research from Parks Associates, a fireside chat from Karen Silgen, GM and VP, Virtual Care, UnitedHealth Group, and interactive panels featuring industry leaders:

Iris Berman, VP, Telehealth Services, Northwell Health
Jeff Cutler, Chief Commercial Officer, Ada Health
Mitchell Fong, VP, Virtual Care, Renown Health
Josh Locke, VP, Sales, Essence Group
James Mault, MD, CEO, BioIntelliSense
Dr. Geoffrey Rutledge, CMO, HealthTap

"As we move to our next phase of healthcare, we must support wellness care," said Iris Berman, VP, Telehealth Services, Northwell Health. "The old way of providing care is not sustainable. Technology extensions such as telehealth and remote monitoring are going to be the great connectors to allow all of us to responsibly manage our populations in the comfort of their own homes and neighborhoods. The healthcare consumer is the owner and manager and should progressively and actively engage in a more collaborative environment with their providers through the use of technology."

"As consumers, we now expect seamless, convenient, and fully connected user experiences," said Jeff Cutler, Chief Commercial Officer, Ada Health. "This means offering faster, simpler, and more intuitive ways to seek and access care. Now more than ever, providers need to embrace technologies that will truly empower patients and give them more insight and control over their own health."

"Connected Health Summit is always a diverse group of participants," said Josh Locke, VP, Sales, Essence Group. "As a long-time speaker, I am always excited for the innovative topics and their approach to relevant discussion. I don't know of a more active association in healthcare technology."

"Continuous remote patient monitoring will be the catalyst that transforms healthcare and ushers in a future where patients receive more effective, personalized, and proactive care at a fraction of the cost of today's standard of care," said James Mault, MD, Founder, CEO, BioIntelliSense. "I look forward to engaging with fellow healthcare innovation leaders to advance this critical conversation on how forward-thinking healthcare systems can successfully adopt RPM and next-generation health technologies for better patient and operational outcomes."
