According to MTLC, during the past 18 months, we've seen significant investment in patient-centric healthcare technology solutions from major IT vendors such as Microsoft (HealthVault), Google (Google Health), IBM (Center for HealthCare Management), Intel (Digital Health Group), and Apple (iPhone as healthcare platform -- Kleiner Perkins is investing $100M into companies developing new applications for the iPhone).

MTLC has convened a panel of thought leaders from the IT community to brief us on their investments and their vision for the healthcare IT market. They've also assembled a panel of healthcare CIOs and IT buyers to give their perspectives on these investments.

Participants:
- Michael Barrett, President, Critical Mass (moderator)
- Patrick Boyle, Vice President, America's Healthcare & Life Sciences, IBM
- John Halamka, CIO, Care Group/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
- Paul Mattes, Managing Director, US Health & Life Sciences, Microsoft
