Patti Brennan, RN, PhD, is the Lillian L. Moehlman Bascom Professor, School of Nursing and College of Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin. Following seven years of clinical practice in critical care nursing and psychiatric nursing, Dr. Brennan held several academic positions. She developed the ComputerLink, an electronic network designed to reduce isolation and improve self-care among home care patients and directed HeartCare, a WWW-based tailored information and communication service that helped home-dwelling cardiac patients recover faster, and with fewer symptoms. Dr. Brennan directed Project HealthDesign, a RWJ- funded initiative designed to stimulate the next generation of personal health records. She also conducts external evaluations of novel HIT architectures, such health information exchanges and SMART, an “apps” approach to existing electronic health records (EHRs) and data repositories. Brennan leads the Living Environments Laboratory at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, which includes a 6-sided virtual reality CAVE that her group uses to re-create visually every environment on earth, and develop new ways for effective visualization of high dimensional data. Supported by AHRQ, her group explores the impact of household contexts on personal health information management. She is fellow of both the American Academy of Nursing (1991) and the American College of Medical Informatics (1993). Dr. Brennan was elected to the Institute of Medicine in 2002, and in 2009 became an elected member of the New York Academy of Medicine.

Mostly I come to this field as an interested citizen. I am frankly very impressed at the pace of change and the potential of technology in health. I am also interested in the wider social implications of scientific advance, and how the public can be best informed, and appropriately involved, in these areas of amazing progress (e.g. nanotech, genomics, digital health, biomedical engineering etc.) I would love to see this whole area move more quickly, so that real cures and improvements will come about. I would also love to see a cultural shift toward awareness and embrace of Science as humanity’s best hope for a bright future!

I work in the Geriatrics Division of a large, high quality multispecialty group practice. My practice may be described as ” Extreme Geriatrics”, with focus on the 1-2 % of our patients that are responsible for 20+% of costs. I work with their primary care physicians and a team of professionals to provide in home visits and intensively coordinated care with engagement of patient, family, friends, PCP’s, specialty doctors, social workers, care managers, visiting nurses, physical and occupational therapists, DME specialists, We have been very successful at interrupting cycles of ER hospital rehab home, helping people to stay longer in their homes.
I am interested in how personal health data may be used to better predict and prevent risks of deterioration, how to provide better in person or virtual care for patients who are homebound or nearly so, and how to bring the best technologies to groups of patients who have been traditionally marginalized or ignored .Business models, Informatics and Statistics, Visualization, Social Justice / Digital Divide

I am particular interested in the emergence of consumer trends and the shifting of healthcare landscape towards outcome-based model and consumer healthcare informatics. In particular, I work on gauging and enhancing the impacts on wellness/prevention via the curation of exogenous data sources (including patient-generated information and mobile/wearable/sensor data). Would be happy to talk to other enthusiasts in the Health Data Exploration Network about this topic.
