NEW YORK, New York (U.S.) – February 2, 2012 – Involution Studios Creative Director Juhan Sonin was announced today as a featured speaker at the NextGen:Health, leaders in healthcare innovation conference.

At NextGen:Health, top innovators in healthcare will bring game-changing ideas to the forefront of the industry. The first day of the conference includes a series of short, engaging talks on everything from increasing patient well-being, to improving the experiences of the doctors and patients, to enabling better research and data sharing.

Sonin will be joining other notable speakers including Dr. Nicholas F. LaRusso, Director of the Center for Innovation at Mayo Clinic and Dr. Jay Parkinson of HelloHealth. Sonin will be presenting on the topic "Hacking Health: Designing for and Understanding Your Health".

"We’re excited to have Juhan speaking about designing your health at the NextGen:Health conference. His talks are inspiring and entertaining and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us this year," said Andrew Zimmerman, MD, co-founder of NextGen:Health.

Sonin is a nationally recognized expert in design for health and wellness. In addition to leading the HIMSS Mobile Health Design Workgroup, he has also provided consultation for the US Dept of Health and Human Services on the design of Medicare.gov and national health IDs, and co-designed Project Laika, the open source data interoperability service used in CCHIT’s EHR certification.

“I'm looking forward to speaking at NextGen:Health and honored to be part of the event,” Sonin said. "Some of the most influential and innovative thinkers in the field will be participating in the conference. As citizens of this country, and of the world, we're really obligated to take a serious look at the way health and healthcare are provided and consumed. Understanding your own health and being able to design the experience to best serve your specific needs, is critical to providing people with better outcomes."
