"Companies across many different industries are developing solutions to help seniors live comfortably in their own homes, ranging from home automation and health monitoring to on-demand services for transportation and grocery delivery," said Brad Russell, Research Director, Connected Home, Parks Associates.

Connected Health Summit will explore strategies to design and implement connected health solutions that will help traditional health systems deliver consumer-centric care. On Wednesday, September 2, the session "Telehealth and RPM: Moving to the Core of Healthcare Delivery" includes consumer insights from Parks Associates, followed by a presentation from Richard Culberson, Executive Director, Cox Homelife Strategy & Operations, Cox Communications, who will discuss "Better Together: Extending Healthcare to the Home."
The interactive panel discussion "Evolution of Home Services" will address opportunities for health systems, providers, and payers to engage the ecosystem of home service and consumer technology leaders in order to develop solutions that will support and enhance the in-home care experience. Speakers:
- Martin Huddart, Head, Smart Residential, ASSA ABLOY
