My guest today is  Dr Ashish Atreja. He is an Assistant Professor and the Chief Technology Engagement and Innovation Officer, Department of Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Manhattan. He is an intrapreneur with over 10 years experience in informatics education and research.     Dr Atreja is also the director of the AppLab at Mount Sinai hospital, and he is concerned about the lack of a robust body of digital health evidence.  In this podcast he shares his vision for addressing that need through collaboration, and he has set up a new data sharing initiative called NODE Health that encourages organizations to share their own digital health pilot data. NODE Health stands for Network Of Digital  Evidence in Health, and he talks about what it is, how to participate and how it is working to become the academic home for evidence in digital medicine.    Today’s Topics:Dealing with web platforms and improving their efficiencyUsing mobile technology as an engagement toolNODE health and its goalsIcahn School of Medicine and its partnership with Apple (App Lab)Process for finding clinical champions for mobile technologyBiggest failure/limitations in mobile technology adoptionDealing with inherent biases in pilot programsCreating successful apps for patients and clinicians alikeFocusing on the financial return of appsLaunching NODE Health and the guiding principles of successful partnersHow an organization can be a part of the NODE Health programHow individuals can contribute to NODE HealthLinks: Node Health WebsiteSinai AppLab Mount Sinai and Apple AnnouncementsMount Sinai Asthma iOS AppApple Research KitNODE Health Linked In Group    Contact Info: Dr Atreja on Twitter: @atreja     RecommendationsBook: The Monk Who Sold His FerrariTech Tool: FacetimeCharity: Ashanet.org
