How Will Technology Transform Healthcare in the Next Decade?
Don Jones
A hundred years ago, few people, globally speaking, wore shoes; today, some 3.5 billion people wear them, about half of the world’s population. As impressive as such trends are, they actually pale beside the spread of new technology. Today, 4.5 billion people have access to mobile phones. Advanced technology is transforming the way we live, though its impact on healthcare delivery to date has been less than dramatic. That’s going to change as leading device companies, like Medtronic and Boston Scientific, match wits with leading IT companies, like MicroSoft and Qualcomm, to see who will lead healthcare delivery into the age of information technology. Please join the panel members in a discussion of the roadmap that the Technology Industry has laid out for successful 21st Century Innovation and why the Healthcare Industry should pay attention.
