More about the event
Technology was supposed to improve healthcare. Unfortunately, it has increased physician work load and decreased doctor-patient time at a significant cost to the taxpayer. We are collaborating with Docs and Hackers because they are a group of medical practitioners and technology builders who aim to reverse this trend and accelerate innovation in digital health. Increasing connections between physicians and programmers will help both groups understand each other better, and create solutions that help patients stay healthier. See you at the event!
