WLSA's 9th Convergence Summit will focus on the most important barriers to achieving the goals of connected health. The technology sector has "discovered" the health care market and the pace of innovation in tech-enabled health care and personal health solutions is accelerating. Tech is not the problem. We have an adoption issue. Consumer and institutional customers are confused by such factors as conflicting and unsubstantiated marketing claims, financial incentives that are counter-productive to the adoption of tech-enabled solutions, regulatory processes that do not keep up with the pace of innovation and too many unengaged consumers.
Friday May 16th, 2014
3:45 p.m. Crowdfunding for Health
New models of funding offer opportunities for entrepreneurs to bring in the capital required to build new health and wellness apps and devices while also receiving feedback from early adopters and data that can be used for clinical validation.
