Organisational structure is more of a barrier than technical challenges are for integrating patient-generated data into hospital systems, according to technology experts at the Partners Connected Health Symposium. Physicians must buy into integrating patient data, from wearables and other remote-monitoring platforms, whereas fundamentally, the technological developments necessary to allow patient's own devices to generate clinically meaningful data have already been made.
