The 21st-century knowledge-based and data-driven economy is all about IP and data. “Smart cities” are the new battlefront for big tech because they serve as the most promising hotbed for additional intangible assets that hold the next trillion dollars to add to their market capitalizations. “Smart cities” rely on IP and data to make the vast array of city sensors more functionally valuable, and when under the control of private interests, an enormous new profit pool.As the world becomes increasingly digital, almost all aspects of our lives will be affected, including the cities we live in and how they are managed. Private companies have developed the technology and are ready to forge ahead to demonstrate how emerging technologies can make cities more affordable, easier to travel within and more environmentally sustainable. Government has fallen behind in this area, as it scrambles to keep up with the pace of change. Rules and regulations need to be quickly put into place surrounding the data this new technology generates. Who does this data belong to? Who has access to it? Where is it stored? Who will benefit from the data? Who monetizes the data and what are some of the ethical issues surrounding it? Concurrent Panel Session - Panel D: Healthcare: Protecting the Most Sensitive DataSean Crowe, Robert Martin, David O'Toole, Michael Vonn, Marnie WilkingN/AN/AElectronic health records and other advances in health information technology can enhance and facilitate access to information, clinical investigations, diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes allowing doctors, medical researchers and patients around the world to benefit from this information.There is no doubt that access to data can improve healthcare immensely, but what are we doing to protect people’s valuable personal information from those who seek to use it for destructive purposes? Data breaches occur on a daily basis, continually putting our sensitive information at risk. Doctors and hospitals are ultimately responsible for protecting this information, but how do they ensure privacy and instill confidence in their patients?
