SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the past 10 years, Health 2.0 has harnessed the creativity and passion of health care's brightest professionals to tackle the industry's most intractable problems and leverage technology-enabled solutions to drive more compassionate, more accessible patient-centered care with its annual conference focusing on new health technology.
Next month, Health 2.0 will continue its mission of introducing new digital platforms that will improve the patient experience and provide deeper insight into the data behind key decisions for treatment and for maintaining health with the inaugural Technology for Precision Health Summit on Tuesday, December 12, 2017 in San Francisco.
More than 300 healthcare providers and payers, advocates, developers, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers and advocates will take part in a 1-day, action-packed agenda that includes healthcare technology demos from some of the most innovative health tech and personalized medicine companies; penetrating discussions on precision medicine delivery, innovation in clinical trials, advances in oncology, kidney disease, and women's health including opportunities for disease prevention, innovation and technology integration discussions with thought leaders; and sneak previews of the newest entrants to the healthcare marketplace.
Notable session highlights include:
The concept for the Technology for Precision Health Summit was developed by Summit Chair Linda K. Molnar, an entrepreneur and expert in Precision Medicine and Precision Health, who saw the need for discussion between experts in Precision Medicine and those working in and investing in Digital Health.
"I believe that an exciting future where science coupled with data analysis will allow us to not only treat patients based on their individual biology and prevent recurrence, but also predict and prevent disease," said Linda K. Molnar. "Rather than waiting until we feel ill and go to the doctor to be diagnosed with disease, we will be able to diagnose a 'pre-disease state' while there is still time to avoid disease with the proper interventions. Collaborating with Health 2.0 made a lot of sense given their focus on patient engagement and Digital Health technologies."
Matthew Holt, Co-Chairman of Health 2.0, has been showcasing cloud technology based companies and tools that use sensors to track patients and manage workflow at Health 2.0 's annual conference.
"We've been featuring both the role of precision health and the data, genomics and diagnostic technologies behind that term at Health 2.0 for a while," said Matthew Holt. "We felt that it was time to dedicate an entire conference to the topic and its role impacting clinical decisions, clinical research and patient care. That's why Health 2.0 is thrilled to be hosting the Technology for Precision Health Symposium."
Registration is open for the Technology for Precision Health Summit. Media interested in covering the conference can complete a press pass application.
Attendees or others interested in healthcare technology can join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter (#health2con), and LinkedIn.
