Healthcare in Transition: Agenda Live for Xconomy Forum Dec. 10

Xconomy Forum: Healthcare in Transition

There are few things that touch our lives, and our economy, like healthcare. That’s why we are especially excited about the stellar lineup we have assembled for our Dec. 10 forum that will provide a first-hand, personal dimension to what’s happening in healthcare innovation.

Keynote speakers include Bryan Sivak, CTO of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; mathematician and computational whiz Stephen Wolfram; Xerox CTO Sophie Vandebroek; and Colin Angle, the CEO and co-founder of iRobot. Angle will be teaming up with Yulun Wang, CEO of InTouch Health, for a live demo of their new healthcare telepresence robot, RP-VITA (short for Remote Presence Virtual + Independent Telemedicine Assistant).

And now, we have dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s on the full agenda and made it live. You can check it out here, and get your tickets here. The event takes place from 2-5:30pm on Monday, Dec. 10, at Microsoft’s New England Research and Development center in Cambridge, MA.

The afternoon promises to be insightful and even inspiring. The speakers mentioned above will be joined by a fantastic cast of other speakers—innovators in healthcare and top investors—as we try to showcase the future of how technology and innovation fit into the conundrum that is healthcare, and how it might affect your lives. Sessions run from “The Cloud and Healthcare Post-Election” to “Healthcare and the Consumer” to “Big Data in Health.”

We already have more than 200 enrolled for this fantastic event—and remaining space is limited. So get your tickets now and we will see you on December 10.
