A
History Of
Nurturing
Meets The
Digital
Age
Lisa D. Earnhardt, Executive Vice President, Medical Devices, Abbott

For 130 years, global
healthcare company Abbott
has been focused on
advancing science to provide
more effective therapies to
patients and the physicians
providing their care. The
tradition continues.

We caught up with Abbott's
Executive Vice President of its
Medical Devices business, Lisa
Earnhardt, to talk about the next
disruptors in health technology.

Q&A
What technologies do you think
are impacting healthcare the
most?
The role of technology has
never been more important in
healthcare. And it's happening
quickly. Driving this transformation
in part is the advent of sensor
technology that is making devices
more personal and wearable. Add
to that, connectivity - enabled by
smart phones and widespread
Internet access - which is giving
more and more people access
to health information and remote
monitoring at their fingertips.
Devices and applications that
aid in prevention, early stage
detection and/or management
of health issues are becoming
prolific.

By Robin Raskin
Journalist & Tech Expert

Just look at the success of
sensors that allow, for instance,
people with diabetes to

continuously monitor glucose
levels in real time without painful
finger sticks, and apps for fitness
tracking and nutrition intake. We
are at the tip of the iceberg of
what these technologies can do.
And, we're just starting to see
AI's impact on translating health
data into action - from diagnosis
to treatment and ultimately
prevention. That's an area of great
interest with potential to have
enormous impact on healthcare.
How do you see the role of
consumers changing in this new
healthcare ecosystem?
Consumers are at the center of
the healthcare transformation as
active participants. Connected
technologies are opening
incredible opportunities for
people to be more engaged
in managing their own health
and more empowered to make
decisions about their health.
Consumer access to data and
products that are highly tailored
to them and their needs not only
allows them to have a larger say
in the management of their health,
it also can result in faster, more
accurate diagnoses and better
compliance with their treatment
plans.
