2nd SoCalBio Digital Health Conference
Medical Grade Wearables:
Innovation, Market Opportunities, and Regulatory Challenges
Hotel Maya (700 Queensway Dr, Long Beach, CA 90802)
November 9, 2018 -- 8:00 am – 6:30 pm
#SoCalBioDH
The SoCalBio Digital Health Conference is an annual event organized by the Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio), the trade association of the bioscience and health industries in the Greater Los Angeles region. The conference showcases Southern California innovators and provides a forum for key providers, payers, entrepreneurs, and investors to share how digital innovations can improve the delivery of care at lower costs. In its second year, this SoCalBio conference will focus on smart wearables, particularly medical-grade devices and related solutions. The event will highlight how wearables — including devices based on Southern California innovations — are on track to become a new modality in the interaction between patients and healthcare providers. Topics to be covered: What makes the wearables market tick: consumer vs. medical
grade wearables. Wearables hot-spots: growth drivers and investment trends. Wearable innovations: current & future applications. Who are the innovators in Los Angeles and Southern California. Innovation adoption, chronic disease care and population aging. Regulatory, cybersecurity and privacy challenges.

8:55 Panel Discussion: Trends in the Wearables’ Markets and Technologies
Do wearables matter? Wearables have a checkered history. There were a lot of promises that they would be able to detect and mitigate health problems rather than just simply relay health data. That hasn’t really happened in a big way. The use cases are sparse. Now, there is some renewed interest in wearables that the Apple Watch has been approved by the FDA. We are seeing more and more startups trying to use sensors as a gateway into health data collection and clinical care. Wearables can be used in clinical trials to collect real work data, and health systems understand that monitoring devices can create efficiency. But, what is required to bring wearables into the mainstream of healthcare. Do we see trends indicating that we are moving in this direction?

12:45 Luncheon Panel Discussion:
Partnering to Build the Future of Wearables in Clinical Research and Healthcare
Delivery
As the commercial and scientific potential of wearable devices in medicine becomes clearer, both tech titans and scores of digital health start-ups are vying for some of the action. This presents bioscience companies with new potential opportunities for partnering to integrate wearables into their offerings and make sense out of the data generated. This may help in boosting their value propositions and strengthening their competitiveness. But challenges also abound. This luncheon discussion will explore how partnering can increase the potential of mobile and wearable technologies in transforming drug and device development as well as improving healthcare delivery.

3:00 Break
3:05 Panel Discussion:
Regulatory Challenges and Strategies for Wearable Medical Technology
Despite their promise, most wearables have been developed to serve the young, well-to-do, fitness-oriented users, and self-quantification enthusiasts. The transition of wearables from direct-to-consumer novelties to health devices requires passing the rigorous FDA regulatory processes for product approval or clearance. The purpose of these processes is to ensure that the type and quality of data generated are both relevant and applicable in a clinical setting. This panel will discuss current FDA approaches in regulating mHealth and wearables, and how and when your technology might encounter regulatory scrutiny.
Moderator:
• Peter Blaisdell, PhD, Chair, SoCalBio Innovation Catalyst Program
Panelists: • Shep Bentley, President, Bentley Biomedical Regulatory Consultants • Sugato De, M.S., Principal Consultant, PAREXEL International • Phil Johnson, Senior Principal, Quality & Compliance Services, IQVIA • Raju Joshi, Managing Partner, Clinical Partners Group, LLC
4:05 Break
2nd SoCalBio Digital Health Conference 6
4:10 Panel Discussion:
Consumer Adoption & Reimbursement
Even if wearables pass strict FDA scrutiny, the ability to drive adoption in the healthcare system depends on who is paying for them. This panel will explore when the patients themselves can pay for wearables. The role of government – through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – will be discussed. CMS has recently released new payment rules that may give mHealth technology a better shot at reimbursement. This is an important step in driving medical wearable implementation in healthcare settings where patients are either reluctant or cannot afford wearable technologies. This panel will also discuss when health insurers cover the cost of health wearables as part of an emerging market of employers looking for healthy workers.
Moderator:
• Scott Witt, President, Witt Venture Development
