Opening Keynote: Innovative Technology Transforming Care Delivery in the Home
Featured Speaker: Vin Gupta, MD
Dr. Vin Gupta goes by many titles – physician, pundit, epidemiologist, advisor, visionary. But it’s his current role as Chief Medical Officer of New Products that is contributing to Amazon’s position at the forefront of a movement to bring advanced healthcare technology into the home – and by extension raising the stature of the home as the future setting of care delivery. In this opening keynote, Dr. Gupta will describe how there are a confluence of factors helping accelerate technology innovation in healthcare, including case studies of emerging, transformative technologies that are changing how, when, where and by whom care is delivered.
