An Introduction to the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation Innovation Center and “linkAges”
Developer Challenge and Accelerator Project
• Kick-off Event April 14th and 15th

• 6 month Accelerator Program
Q&A About the Challenge
April 5, 2012
4. Background to linkAges™:
The linkAges™ Developer Challenge and Accelerator Project has
been established by the Druker Center for Health Systems
Innovation, part of Palo Alto Medical Foundation a large, not-for-
profit integrated health-care provider located in Silicon Valley, in
partnership with Health 2.0.

5. Successful Aging – a Big Problem:
• Health care for seniors is characterized by fragmented services, high cost,
and suboptimal outcomes.
• Ignores critical aspects of quality of life that significantly impact health,
particularly social and behavioral determinants.
• Each day for the next 18 years over 10,000 Baby Boomers in the U.S. turn
65.
• In 1990, 1 in 8 residents of Santa Clara County was over age 60. By 2010,
that grew to 1 in 6. By 2030 it will be over 1 in 4.
• Vast majority of rapidly growing senior population express the desire to
age independently in place in their homes and communities.
• Many face an array of challenges; complex health issues, potential for
social isolation, and difficulty accessing existing community resources
April 5, 2012
6. The Problem to Solve:
• Ensure that everyone has access to excellent health care whenever and
wherever they need it.
• Move from focus in current health care system on acute and sick-care,
which does not meet needs adequately or cost effectively .
• Shift from focus on responses to crises, treating an acute health event, to
systems that enable preemptive action through signal detection
• Create systems capable of changing the health behaviors of individuals,
and the health environment
• Drive active community engagement to support individuals to be healthy
and sustained at home
April 5, 2012
7. linkAges™ - The Vision:
• PAMF has embarked on an initiative to create a new
paradigm in the way we think of health and
healthcare by actively creating and building a highly
functional, coordinated and scalable ecosystem to
sustain Successful Aging - linkAges™.
• It will address the physical and social determinants of
health, leveraging social services and caregivers
already in the community, and partnering with
professional healthcare teams - linkAges™.

9. linkAges™ Developer Challenge
Focus on Signal Detection:
The developer challenge is focused on one of the key linkAges system components
“Signal Detection,”, tracking and interpreting data that will forewarn of impending
events with the potential for significant negative consequences.
We are asking developers to explore Signal Detection, the creative detection and
use of signals of physical and social health of our seniors to proactively improve
health outcomes and quality of life.
We are particularly interested in community-based signals that are not currently
captured and leveraged within the traditional clinical care setting:
• Select signals that are important and relevant to senior health and quality of life
• Prototype creative systems in which those signals could be detected, analyzed
and meaningfully visualized by appropriate parties
• Show what actions would be taken as a result
• Demonstrate how that would improve the health of a population of seniors in
the community.
• Explain how the solution would be deployed, scaled and maintained
April 5, 2012
10. Our Challenge to You:
The PAMF Innovation Center is looking for
expansive, outside-the-box thinking, so
this is a place for BOLD ideas.
We are looking for developer teams who are
aligned with our Successful Aging mission and
share our passion for innovative
solutions.
