Healthcare-SIG Overall Health

The HC-SIG meetings were held every two weeks at the start of the year with less participants. Then the meetings were moved to every 3rd Wednesday of month at 3 pm GMT | 8.30 pm IST with guest presentations, and the participants count tremendously increased. June meeting count was 23. All meetings are recorded on our YouTube, and the Helathcare SIG playlist is averaging about 100+ views per video. LinkedIn page too created and obtained 82 followers till now. The General Meetings continue to focus on collaborative Industry cum Academic Research for the betterment of the humankind.  

Issues and Challenges

Meeting attendees are typically interested in the perspectives of other members and their opinions on industry news. However, there is a lack of unified purpose in the group, other than sharing research, articles, and discussion. Our three subgroups of Patient, Provider, and Interoperability have stopped meeting and are no longer active. There is still some interest in creating new ways to build community around these and other subgroups.
