Networks, platforms, and applications for technology-enabled participatory medicine will be featured at the “Eighth Annual Healthcare Unbound Conference & Exhibition” on July 11-12, 2011 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego. The Conference will be a great networking and educational event, attracting hundreds of high level executives and clinicians from all over the U.S. and abroad. The focus will be on remote monitoring, home telehealth, mHealth, eHealth, social media, and how to better promote wellness, manage diseases, and facilitate accountable care using the newest technologies.
Today innovative technologies are driving opportunities to serve health consumers in new ways and in new settings. In addition to dramatically changing traditional healthcare delivery, this Conference will attract a range of companies that previously have not been deeply involved in healthcare such as in consumer electronics, telecom, gaming, fitness, along with information technology companies. More and more ideas and companies are coming on board every day.
You really can’t miss this event if you are involved in this exciting ever changing technology field. The information obtained from all of the keynote speakers and presentations will help not only healthcare providers and health plans, but also retirement communities, consumer technology companies, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics companies, as well as contract research organizations. Also, home builders, financiers, security analysts, consultants, and government officials will play an important role.
