Inventing the Future of Health: Philadelphia
December 2, 2014
Philadelphia
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is fast becoming a hotspot for health innovation. With experts from the area’s academic institutions, hospitals, and wider health and business communities converging to create a vibrant health technology scene, the city provides a window into the exciting opportunities for improving health outcomes through technological solutions, from big data to apps to wearables.
The Atlantic hosted a town hall event, where we convened entrepreneurs, doctors, researchers, business leaders, patient advocates, and health officials to discuss what technology can do to enhance care and encourage healthy living.
